I've kicked myself over these two and I bet others have too. With the attention both these sets get I thought they should get a poll on which one to get. Both these sets are $40, both are exclusives to a store and both are in a well known and popular theme. So which one do you like as an investment?

Yes.

Dynamic Duo hands down, if only because it is a TRU exclusive. It's been marked higher for the entire majority of its life span and my a first party seller as well. That's going to be a winner. 

Definitely like both but I'd go with FH if I had to pick one for investing or just collecting/building.  Nice variety of minifigs and Batman generally does well.  

They'll both do well---exclusives loaded w/ minifigs based on popular themes=can't miss.

These polls that keep popping up with "Should I buy X or Y?" need to have an option that says "Yes" or "Both". Seriously, these both have their strong suits.

 

Funhouse has great minifigs.

 

Orc Forge has direct MOC ties to the largest LOTR set ever.

 

Both are exclusives and both come from extremely strong franchises. You literally can't lose with either. If you want to know what to get this very second, probably Orc Forge since you're options for grabbing one at the $40.00 price you mention are very quickly flying out the door.

This is pretty easy. Buy Orc Forges now. Sell around Christmas. Use that to buy even more Funhouses. Win win. :-)

Yep--that is what I am doing.  Sell the orcs, but the bat.

I would go with Orcs but I haven't broken my friends cherry yet so... I think it may not be worth much.

Definitely the Orc Forges right now.... The funhouse is a great set too, and the figures are great......40.00 is such a great price too....heck, I say buy both, as many as u can.......can't miss investments right now......

I think the people posting polls like this one are a lot like me when i was starting out. If they had the financial means to get both then they probably would. Now that I have Income being generated from my initial stockpiling I don't have a cash flow issue but some may only have 40 bucks to spend and want to get the best investment option. I am not talking down to anyone doing this, as I did it for over a year, buying one set at a time. When I would start a poll like this it was because I only enough money to buy one of them. In reality very few on here can afford to go out and spend large amounts on LEGO even though many here say they do. Basically I'm saying that the "both" option doesn't help much if you only have the money to buy one of them.

Orc forge, if you can find one near retail...
