3 LEGO Sets You Need to Consider Investing in Immediately
The window on these is closing fast...
This post is brought to you by me.
Collecting profit on your LEGO investments isn’t as easy as it sounds.
You need an active Amazon Seller account, approval to sell the LEGO brand, and an understanding of how to send your LEGO to Amazon when the time to sell comes.
You can put that off until the last minute or you can get my LEGO Investing Mastery guide.
In just 90 minutes, you will learn how to get everything set up and which costly mistakes to avoid as a beginner.

Throughout 2023, I published 9 versions of the Introvert Entrepreneur LEGO hit list that saw retiring sets come and go.
Last month, we finalized the list with a total of 30 sets that I believe will perform best as investments over the 12-16 months post retirement.
Reissuing that same hit list without any changes doesn’t make sense, so instead I want to highlight three sets this month.
All of them are showing signs that they will be incredible investments and your opportunity to lock a position in may be disappearing…
If you don’t own any of them yet, they should be priority number one.
Set 1: Star Wars Hoth at-ST Walker 75322
This set was on the hit list for a number of reasons.
The main reason was because I believe this set is short-printed as a result of LEGO making way too many of the previous AT-ST set that Amazon still has in stock 2 years post-retirement.
That reason alone is why you can’t find hardly anyone on YouTube or anywhere else recommending this set.
Following Prime day, it looks like my short-printing theory may be true.
Amazon has been mostly out of stock since Prime Day.
This never happened with the other AT-ST set. This set also ran out of stock after the holiday season last year.
Everything is screaming that supply is low on this set.
What I would do if I didn’t have any yet:
Get some ASAP.
I already sent out an alert for it and you can still take advantage of that alert. If you haven’t loaded up on it but want to create a position, now is the time.
Amazon will likely get more before it retires, but don’t be surprised if they don’t.
Set 2: Star Wars Luke Skywalker Red 5 Helmet 75327
I sent out an alert for this set early this month along with 6 other sets.
As of today, it is out of stock on Amazon and is nearly full price on Walmart.com.
What I didn’t realize at the time was how little supply Amazon seems to have. It’s behaving just like the AT-ST set above.
It too ran out of stock here and there earlier this year.
While I believe it will come back in stock before the end of the year, there are no guarantees.
What I would do if I didn’t have any yet:
Get a Keepa subscription (like I talk about in LEGO Investing Mastery) and set an alert to get notified when Amazon gets more in stock.
I would also monitor the Walmart price.
When you get that alert, try to grab them immediately.
I already sent out an alert for it and you can still take advantage of that alert. If you haven’t loaded up on it but want to create a position, now is the time.
Amazon will likely get more before it retires, but don’t be surprised if they don’t.
Should they get more in stock or if Walmart lowers their price, I will try to get an alert out ASAP.
Set 3: Technic Race Plane 42117
Amazon has done something sneaky and has raised the price on this set from $9.99 to $17.99 despite the MSRP being $9.99.
I have no idea why they do this on some sets but not others, however this screams the same thing as the previous two sets: the are running out of supply.
This might be my new favorite set even though it was only an honorable mention on the hit list.
What I would do if I didn’t have any yet:
This set was already alerted for at the same time as the Red 5 helmet, but now is the time to get more even if you have to pay $10/set.
There are some random websites with it at $9.99 still or you could set a Keepa alert for it on Amazon.
I think the price will go back to $9.99 but not until Amazon can get some more inventory.
I will try to alert if the price drops back down.
IMPORTANT: Every set I mentioned here or in my hit list could end up being an average investment. Invest at your own risk.

Great minds. Exactly the only 3 sets I've been buying in the last 2 weeks. What a coincidence
Race Plane is $24+ sold by Amazon now
