RARE Lego sets are selling for as much as £3,800 – over TEN times their original price. Star Wars-themed set are among the most popular with a replica of the Taj Mahal and a cafe from ten years ago also much sought after. Some rare Lego sets are now going for TEN times their original asking price To attract the huge sums the sets must be boxed and in mint condition – so it’s well worth having a look in the loft and rifling round the garage just in case one might be lurking there. The current highest-priced set on Amazon is the Ultimate Collector’s Millennium Falcon which is selling for £3,800. It would have cost you just £342.49 to buy in 2007. A Cafe Corner set from the same year which was originally £89.99 is the next highest-priced at £2,128. While a 2005 Death Star II that was originally £249.99 is going for £1,917. JAMIE EAST AT THE MOVIES THEME PARK POT ARRESTS I WON'T LEGO OF DREAM According to Jeff Maciorowski, founder of Lego investing guide large sets and ones that have film tie-ins tend to give the best returns
He explained: “Sets with 1,000 pieces or more, seem to exhibit strong returns on investment. “Licensed sets like Star Wars, Harry Potter and the DC Comics and Marvel Superheroes can appreciate very well after retirement and many contain valuable and highly collectible minifigures. “Minifigures are often called the currency of the LEGO world and are highly collectible and popular. Some individual minifigures can sell for tens, if not hundreds of pounds.” But for those on a more limited budget profits can still be made. Jeff added: “Small sets and polybags can also show strong returns. Rare minifigures or small seasonal or holiday sets are solid choices.” The boom in Lego re-sale value comes as the toymaker hiked its prices at the beginning of the year because of the Brexit vote. From January 1 the firm upped prices by five percent. A letter from a top boss at the firm stated that the hike is “a direct result of the continued devaluing of the UK pound” and went on to say that the company may be forced to put up prices again in the “event of a further negative trend”.
It means that a Star Wars Lego Death star set that previously went for £399 has gone up by £20. While a Doctor Who set went up by £2.49 from £49.99 to £52.48. The value of the pound has plummeted since the vote to leave the European Union last June. At its worst point it was down 20 per cent against the Euro and the Dollar. This had made it more expensive for manufacturers to import raw materials and goods, with many now passing the increase in costs on to customers. We pay for your stories!
