Comparing MY LEGO Investing Data to the REAL ROI Growth Data | How were our predictions?!

- Опубликовано: 15 окт 2024
- Do my Mentions and Enthusiasm metrics accurately predict LEGO sets that will grow in value after retirement? I look back at my 2022 data and analyze set performance vs. mentions/enthusiasm score now that they've had almost 2 years post retirement.

Hey buddy great data . This is one of the reasons why you’re moving up the subscription and views ladder here on RUclips. Great detailed data. Keep them coming my friend
Thanks buddy!! I've been very fortunate with great viewers, subscribers and tons of supportive comments! I hope to keep growing...it's a lot of fun. More videos soon. Later bro!
Phenomenal video. Based in the UK but I can appreciate the standard and skill of the data when I see it. If you share the same market as this video, this is gold dust. Congratulations on a fantastic video.
Thanks a lot! Really kind comment...I appreciate the support!!
Awesome video! Really enjoyed looking at all the data. It highlights the importance of getting a set on a good discount regardless of how good a set is. Thank you for all your hardworking going through the data and presenting it in such an enjoyable manner! Looking forward to the next one!
Good one Kevin! This vid should have been called the LOSERS of Lego and the few that loved them lol
hahaha, that's hilarious! Thanks Will!
Wow amazing vid...I was wondering when 1 was going to come out and it was worth the wait. You must be a data analyst ot something in your day job lol. I cant imagine the effort and time that went into this. If you had a patreon or something to make the spreadsheets available I would sign up for that! Well done my friend
Thanks a ton! Yeah, I do a lot of numbers, Excel, analysis, etc. at work. I enjoy it!
Thanks for saying you'd join a patreon if I made one! I've kicked around the idea in my head, so maybe someday, but I'm not ready to make that jump yet, haha! Take care my friend...always appreciate commenting with you!
Let me know if you do decide to open a patreon. I'd love access to the spreadsheets themselves! Looking forward to the next one and for the next DG collab
This is great stuff. I like how you compare the different data points. I think incorporating time would be another great idea. Something like each sale takes 30 min or something, so how much do you make pre hour of work. You mentioned the ease of storing the small sets, which is something that many don't consider.
Great comment, that's a really good idea. I'll kick around how I can incorporate something like that in a future video. Thanks for watching and commenting...take care!
@@kdxbricksanalytics i have tried to incorporate it into parting out sets. I have a vid on my channel where I go over my sheet. I also have one for reselling new sets. Have a look and let me know if you have any questions.
Thanks for all your work on this.. much appreciated 👏🏻
Great info pal , the effort and work you put in to these data tables etc is much appreciated and makes entertaining and informative viewing. Good to see the comparison with the UK.🇬🇧👍
Thanks buddy...really appreciate your comments and support!
Love it when you do all the research. Save's me a ton of time.
That's why I do it!!!! I'm glad to hear it was valuable to you. All the best!
Wow Kevin. That is a lot of work.
What this data tells me is that mentions don't mean squat. I have almost never gone with majority rules type of mentality. You have to go with gut feeling.
Also, with more people doing this stuff, the ROI's are not that great. That is why holding the sets for longer periods of time is the way to go.
Seriously, looking at this data, one would think that investing in Lego is a 50/50 proposition. That is far from true. Lego is still an amazing investment but you have to do the several right things and be patient. Appreciate all the work you put into this Kevin but I am still going to go with my own feelings as to what to get and what to avoid. But, it is fun to still see what the masses think.
Thanks a lot. Yup, I 100% hear ya...great comment! Yeah, I use the data in my own way too...it's great to have it all, but the story we all individually pull from it will likely vary greatly. I like some of the most popular sets, but I also go for some that are flying under the radar! Take care my friend!
I just got done refinishing my deck. My brain doesn’t work with this data sorcery, so I hit like and shutting down.
hahahaha, thanks and hilarious comment! Nice job finishing your deck...always feels good to get a big project like that done! Take it easy
great video, good job. Lots of data!!
Thanks a lot! Glad you like it!
Great Kevin .. so much work you did.. really appreciate it 😊
Thanks Matteo...appreciate you watching and commenting!
Also careful sending small sets into Amazon as you get a lot more returns as they are usually shipped in bags and smashed!
You are 100% correct! I try to eBay/marketplace as much as those as I can!
I think my fav table was the breakdown by price bracket.
Yeah, that definitely was interesting...some good food for thought. Thanks for commenting!
Love a good data video, great job
Thanks so much!!
Also, may I add that it’d be interesting to see this type of data with the BrickLink designer program sets as well.
That would be great! Unfortunately those sets don't get talked about much in all the other RUclips videos I watch. So I'd be limited to just doing a ROI performance analysis...which still could be interesting! Maybe I'll do something like that some day. Thanks a lot for your comments!
@@kdxbricksanalytics I see and it makes perfect sense. Perhaps it is indeed in the something that could be put in the backburner. Anyway, keep the videos coming will keep clicking! Have a great rest of the week!
Hey there Kevin I don't know if you bought anything from the Lego 2X insider points today but just a Brickheadz update. Gandalf/Balrog are *Sold Out*. Legolas/Ghimli is available, and Arwen/Aragorn is on back order. I ordered 5 of both to add to my inventory and get the GWP (+ a keychain to hit the $200) and It showed Arwen/Aragorn will ship Jan 17th. Not sure if that means LoTR Brickheadz won't be completely retired but just thought everyone would like to know
Since you are new to Amazon, it would be cool to put out a video on what you think. Maybe after Q4 to see how it goes for you. Venom 3 movie comes out later this month, so that might give the Carnage set a bump. Great to see data.
The problem is these days there are a lot of people reselling retired lego sets, they may be advertised on eBay and selling sites at a certain price, all not actually selling due to a flooded market.
The secondary market is definitely flooded...a lot harder to pick winning sets. For this video (and all of my videos) I only use sold eBay and Amazon prices.
Your video from yesterday showed sets with low mentions were bad investments. But this video showed the majority of sets with the highest ROI had low mentions. Which data should we believe?? Haha
Yes, but that video aired 8 months ago in February. Now that the '22 retirement class has had another 8 months in the secondary market, the ROI performance has changed (which would be expected). These videos spaced out over time help me decide how long to hold sets to maximize ROI (and of course help me decide which sets to pick going forward). Take care!
Kevin you are the Data Dude 📈 love it. I wonder what the winning combination out of all of that data would be, sets of a certain value/ short shelf life/theme.
As a new Amazon seller, I’d love to hear about your experiences so far. I’m hoping to do the same next year but now we have ZERO selling fees on eBay to factor into the equation here.
Yeah, I was thinking that too...based on all the data, which set is the perfect set. i.e. which set sits atop the inflection point. Maybe I could do something like that...assign values for each metric and calculate a "total" score!
Amazon selling is going OK so far. Their seller central interface seems outdated and somewhat confusing. Also, sets sell, then get cancelled, then sell again, then show as stock, then get warehoused, and then all those actions could happen in random order. Selling on Amazon definitely only works with high volume...which I don't have yet. But I'm enjoying playing with it and figuring it out! Yeah, you guys having zero eBay fees is awesome! That hasn't come to the states yet.
Great comment, all the best my friend!
@@kdxbricksanalytics That sounds like a great idea to me. You sound like the man for the job and I’d definitely watch that video 😁 I’m getting the feel smaller really is better, or certainly can be.
That sounds all very clunky and off putting, but like your video it sounds like with the higher ROIs it may well be worth it in the end. I couldn’t believe it selling a set on eBay the other day and the fees showing as zero. I hope that makes its way to you too
@@The_Brick_Side Whoa where are located if you don't mind me asking? I'd love to have Zero fees on eBay!
@@fredhwa I’m located in the UK 🇬🇧 I had an email about it and thought that can’t be right. eBay are even advertising it on the TV here now, a real game changer for sure 👌🏼
@@The_Brick_Side amazing and best of luck to you. Definitely envious of you guys across the pond...cheers!
I love data and I love this channel. From a fellow statistician. keep up the great work.
Thanks so much!! Means a lot coming from a fellow numbers aficionado, haha! Will do, more videos soon! Thanks again and take care!
No eBay fees in uk for private sellers. Surprised your still paying fees in the us.
Yeah, that's awesome for you guys! Hasn't made it to the US yet...hopefully some day!
Love your data!
Thanks very much!!!
Awesome video... Where do you get the time...but this is like a
School lesson for me! Lesson 1 keep on buying sets between 1 -50€.. most chance of high roi.. i hadsome winners and loosers! Did sell fishtanks, chevrolet speed ch. , Space station, still have a lot of classic batmobile... Holding on for figher! Did get first flying lesson wrong... Really like that set, gonna give one for Christmas to my youngest who love Harry p. I sell in europe on vinted... No fees. Hah
Hi does it work well on vinted..
Thanks a lot and great comment! Glad you liked the video! Take care buddy!
i wish they make more Scooby doo sets
Me too, that would be awesome!
🥸👍
