Hello friends,
I always batch Minecraft into the same category as themes like Speed Champions, Star Wars, and Creator. Themes where every practically every set has a large potential customer base, and the investment side of things really comes down to one main uncontrollable - will there be leftover zombie stock going into retirement?
It’s a bit ironic. The themes that sell the most units often tend to have the most sets with remaining zombie stock post-retirement, likely due to Amazon forecasting for that large sales volume and ordering enough to satisfy another several months to years post-retirement. It ends up being a tricky space to navigate, whereas themes with less sales volume seem to have less zombie stock because there is no need for the big retailers to over-order.
Because of that, the most important thing we can do when it comes to investing in these types of themes is focus on buy cost and timing.
We can’t control the production levels, but we can do our best to only purchase sets from these themes when the price is uniquely low or we’re very close to the end of the year (or well into retirement) to reduce hold time.
That’s my main strategy with Minecraft, but let’s dive into the details below because there just might be some sets worth investing in literally right now.
