I agree with you Jonathan.
Anyone who buys Lego as an investment should look elsewhere to invest. I own 10
copies of 6390 Main Street. Then 20 years later they re-release it. Was I mad?

investor type people have a tendancy to ruin hobbies. Just look at sports
trading cards.
Lego is a Hobby, not an investment portfolio item.
