The Best LEGO Sets to Invest in that Retire in July 2026 (v1.0)
I did not expect so many sets to make this list... it will be a historic year for LEGO investing.
The post is brought to you by me.
If you’re going to invest in LEGO, you need to keep track of your investments.
Look no further than my LEGO Investing Portfolio Tracker.
This is a spreadsheet created by Anthony (a newsletter subscriber & mongo927 on Discord) that helps you become a more organized and responsible investor.
It automatically calculates everything you need to know about how well your investments are performing.
For a small one-time fee, you get lifetime access to all future updates so you can stay organized and confident about your investments:
IMPORTANT: A SPREADSHEET VERSION OF THE HIT LIST IS LINKED AT THE BOTTOM OF THIS POST
The hit list you are about to see below is the list of LEGO sets my set picking system likes most for investing that are set retire in JULY this year.
Normally we don’t split the year up like I am now, but LEGO has decided to shift 100+ sets to a July retirement date.
I asked the paid subscriber Discord group if they wanted two different hit lists and the overwhelming majority said yes.
The following list is created by:
Looking at a giant list of sets expected to retire
Inputting Amazon sales rank data (i.e. demand) into my custom set picking system and letting it spit out which sets it thinks will perform best
Extrapolating “# of sets sold in the past month” for sets that don’t have sales rank data
Picking demand thresholds for each theme to adhere to based on prior performance and estimated supply data
Does this system catch ALL of the best sets every year? No.
However, it has outperformed the average for the last three years by a large margin as documented in my monthly market update series.
This list will be finalized at the end of May.
In June, I will publish the first iteration of a second hit list for sets that retire at the end of December.
The format below for listing hit list sets is as follows:
