We all know Cafe Corner / UCS Millenium Falcon and many other sets from four or so years ago have done great after being retired.  But are there any winners we can pick up now (i.e. not retired) that have a very high likelihood of delivering 400% return in 4 years?

 

In other words, if you could only buy one set in huge quantities this year to get the biggest return in 4 years, which would it be?

 

I have some thoughts, but don't want to bias the thread before it starts, so take it away, folks!

No chance for 10225?

Why makes the HH stand out for a lot of you guys?

 

I can't see it getting nowhere near the Cafe Corner or Market Street prices, least with them people want them to complete there modular series ect, so are willing to pay a premium to complete the series.

There is a lot of content in the forums regarding the uniqueness and appeal of the HH.

 

For me, it's a mix between it's exclusivity, overall build, excellent theme representation and as stated before, appeal. This is an amazing build. When you think about a spooky looking house, I bet what you come up with resembles closely to the HH.

 

Will it come close to Cafe Corner or Market Street prices? Doubt it. But I also doubt any other set will get there.

 

Of all the sets out there, this is one that has a fair chance of becoming a behemoth once it goes EOL.

Getting back the original two sets, the MF & CC.

 

Both were unique in their themes at the time. MF, the first true minifigure scale set, and also of a very popular ship in the movies; CC the first of its kind. So to reproduce similar returns you need a similar type of set.

 

So I nominate LOTR Tower of Orthanc. This is the first LOTR UCS type set. The first with a 10nnn set number. OK, its not true minifigure scale but as good as you will get. (True mini-figure scale ToO would be 14 metres tall!).

 

IF it has a relatively short production run, say 2 years for less and IF it remains an exclusive, it should do very well.

 

Having said all the sets mentioned so far should do well. I have a TB & a B-Wing.
