The bonus to buying these things...they are worth a little bit more in the long run. I still have a mint fallout 3 lunch box edition that sells for a hefty amount now. Original imperial edition with molag statue still sells well if it's all original and complete.

So have you actually sold those items, or is it just that you like the fact that they are 'potentially' worth more while they are still cluttering up your shelves that appeals? I could have gold bullion on my shelf, but unless I sell it, it's still just a chunk of something gathering dust

For sure this. But like my Lego UCS Millennium Falcon, Y Wing, ATST,Tantive 5, Yoda and Star Destroyer, they are collecting dust. But this mere "£1k investment" is sitting a net value atm of near £10k (all boxed and sealed still) just for a bit of lego that's dusting up in the attic awaiting retirement /supercar in 30 years time. Everything game and toy related that is truly limited will only ever gain value. Hold onto it for a while (not 1-2 years) and profit.

Wow, you've got the LEGO Millenium Falcon? I used to work for LEGO a few years ago, and I've only heard stories about the growth of the value of that thing. Well done for getting one.
We received the original LEGO shop as a set as our xmas present that year, which was previously given to customers doing the tour in Danemark. I managed to sell it for £500. LEGO collectors are crazy (in a good way if you're looking to sell).
Enjoy your supercar

Yep and I bought it new from a shop. Only one I missed out on was the super star destroyer. They were £350 last year..which is actually stupidly cheap for the largest model ever (1.1m) and now they are near £1k already.

Anyway. OT everyone this set is a worth while purchase. Secretly I ordered 2. One to sell immediately for double to get the game for free and the other will be cherished for a good few years.
