How Has The 75357 Affected LEGO® Investments Into Older Ghost And Phantom Set Iterations?

Here’s What Played Out:

Scarcity and Demand: Since the Ghost I and Phantom I sets have been discontinued for years, their scarcity has increased, particularly for collectors seeking to complete their Star Wars collection. Increased demand continues to drive up investment prices.

Unique Features and Characters: The unique features and characters in the Ghost I and Phantom I that do not appear in the newer sets attract collectors interested in those particular attributes. This uniqueness has continued to increase their value. Interested in what your collection might be worth? Check out our guide on how to find out if your LEGO® bricks are worth anything.

Nostalgia and Sentiment: Older sets carry nostalgia and sentimental value, especially those related to the beloved Star Wars: Rebels series. Such nostalgia makes these sets more desirable and therefore increases their value.

Condition: Sets that are still in their original packaging and in excellent condition are likely to be more valuable than those that have been opened or played with.

However, there are factors that can work against the older sets’ value:

Innovation and Design: The Ghost II and Phantom II set 75357, with their improved design, more pieces, and use of the LEGO® Builder app, can overshadow the older models in terms of popularity, potentially reducing demand for the older sets.

Character Appeal: The Ahsoka-themed sets attracted massive attention due to the show’s hype. The new characters became fan favorites, which can decrease interest in the older sets.

All-in-all…this set was an instant buy for me and I don’t regret it one bit.
