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:
Theme
List of sets my system likes
Let’s dive in.
Architecture
Target position size/set: ~1% of portfolio
Demand threshold: 14
Amazon has fully restocked the Statue and it is right on the edge of staying on the list.
If you think about how iconic this set is, it should probably be invested in regardless of what happens to the demand data over the next month.
