Hello all,

This year I got back into LEGO. For quite some time I had my eyes on the modular buildings. My main intention is to collect these and also to create modular MOCs.

After purchasing several minifigures from different CMF series I started aquiring some modulars. My first big purchase was the Town Hall set 10224. The price was quite steep at around 330€ as prices can rise easily above RRP after EOL. That's why I'm now trying to avoid missing out on sets, especially exclusives, that I might want to build or use in the future. In the end I guess it's better to end up with some spare sets I can resell in case I don't need them.

Thanks for reading this.

Welcome, and find some Pet Shops while you can.  It's the next modular to go...

Welcome to the site, Brian Briggs.

Welcome and good luck collecting the modulars - some of the retired ones are great display pieces.

​Thanks for the heads-up. After getting Town Hall I gave top priority to PS due to its long production run. So I already aquired four of those and already opened two boxes. Currently I'm on the lookout for deals for Palace Cinema and a decently priced Grand Emporium. The purchase of newer modulars (PR, DO) feels less urgent to me.

​If you're looking for a GE, any buy under $250 is a great deal now; most prices are hovering around $300.  Don't neglect PR; it's easy to get from Amazon and other retailers at MSRP, and if you're looking to build an inventory, a few early buys makes good strategy.  Later, when it gets close to EOL, you'll be in a PR/PC situation where finding MSRP sets to purchase gets harder and harder.   

Welcome BB. I'm new too, but just a couple weeks here reading advice like this ^^ has made me feel much more confident jumping into the investment game. Similarly trying to fund personal purchases for modding helms deep, and a modular street! Best of luck out there!

Welcome!
