The most lucrative 'hobby investments' over 10 years: from fine wine to fast cars Rare coin index beats the FTSE 100 Mr Maciorowski said the sets that tend to perform the best are those that are likely to remain in demand in the future. These tend to be sets associated with popular films, such as the Star Wars collection, or because they are iconic buildings, such as the Statue of Liberty or Taj Mahal set."Modular" building sets, such as Cafe Corner and the Winter Village Post Office, are also likely to do well, according to Mr Maciorowski.He said: "These sets, such as the pet shop, the bank and the fire brigade, are highly collectible.

NX - news) will always be looking for these types of sets."Lego investing tips Look out for Lego bargains. Mr Maciorowski said there have been some "astronomical" discounts on Lego this year, such as three-for-two offers. "If you can get 50pc off you're pretty much guaranteed a return in the future," he said.
For rarer sets he suggested buying at a 10-12pc discount. He said retailers tend to start clearing their shelves to make way for new sets towards the end of the year, ready to refill in the Spring, and may start to offer reductions. Themed sets will be more valuable - but not all will perform well. Star Wars sets are some of the best investment Lego pieces, while Mr Maciorowski said the Lord of the Rings set "just did OK". He said: "You need to bear in mind what's going to have the broadest appeal. Spaceships and superheroes are always popular." It's not all about the size. Elaborate sets with thousands of pieces may be attractive to collectors but smaller ones, such as the architecture sets, also "do fantastically", according to Mr Maciorowski. "They look classy and can be displayed in your bedroom. Plus most people can tell what they are straight away. People want to get their hands on them as they go so quickly," he said. " Remakes" will hurt the value. If Lego decides to bring out a bigger and better version of a set you already have - a special edition of Hogwarts, the school in Harry Potter, for example - expect to see demand for your old set fall and its value diminish.
