3) 10182 Cafe Corner*
Released in 2007, this set is about 2 years out of retirement. It was the first of the modular building style line, meaning that it holds sentimental value for those who are new to the modular line (they want it to complete their collection) or veterans of the line (they want it out of nostalgia). Either way, sweet profits!
Original Price: $149.99
Currently Selling for: $1,499.99
Return on Investment (RoI): 1000%

2) 10179 Millenium Falcon
Also released in 2007, this set is about 2 years out of retirement. It had a small run of sets, increasing demand. It also was the culmination of a long star wars set tradition, key for collectors. The high upfront price meant this set appealed only to hardcore collectors, but it was enough to create a good investment opportunity.
Original Price: $500
Currently Selling for: $2775.00
Return on Investment (RoI): 555%

1) 10190 Market Street*
It seems to be no coincidence that the most valuable set on the list was also released in 2007. I often consider it the smartest investment that Snazz Industries has ever made. I snapped up two of the sets, one mid 2007 and then end of 2008 when it was on sale before being retired. At the current prices each piece of this set (1,248 in total) would be worth $1.60!
Original Price: $90
Currently Selling for: $1,988.00
Return on Investment (RoI): 2209%
