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 Brick Tracker Pro.

This tool allows you to upload your entire LEGO investing portfolio and track your investment performance in real time.

Brick Tracker Pro IS NOT some random sponsor, I have equity in this tool and truly love using it to keep track of my investments.

You can try it for FREE by clicking the button below and if you decide to pay for it, use code “jarrylew” for 20% OFF:

(If you’re more of a spreadsheet person, I still recommend the LEGO Investing Portfolio Tracker)


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:

  1. Looking at a giant list of sets expected to retire

  2. 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

  3. Extrapolating “# of sets sold in the past month” for sets that don’t have sales rank data

  4. 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.
