_**Here’s Why LEGO® Is The Future Of Investing** For Finance Bros Everywhere_

You wake up. You roll over. Somewhere in your house, your cat mutters, “Another day, another dollar.” Are you losing your mind? No, it’s just another Monday.



What if I told you there was a way out that was a way in, no matter how much you gained, or lost? That’s the secret sauce of [LEGO® investing](/okf/pages/lego-investing.md), and LEGO® investing in big sets. You can’t lose because you have nothing left to lose.



Back in 2007, you remember right where you were. For me, I was 12 years old. I remember the eve of the crash. For my birthday, I got the UCS _Millennium Falcon 10179_ for my birthday. It was $499.99 back then. Now, it is lore and antiquity within the LEGO® investing universe and is worth a staggering $5,000 – easy. The market crashed. This set did not. Like an actual spaceship, if you were insane enough to take out a $50,000 loan from JPMorgan Chase, spend it all on UCS Millennium Falcons, you would be on the Moon with $450,000 today in UCS LEGO® Millennium Falcons. Who would be insane enough to spend that much on LEGO® sets, let alone big LEGO® sets?



**I would be insane enough. **LEGO® appreciates faster than inflation could even hope to **_even if we just literally never stopped printing money. _**



## I’ll Tell You I’m In



When you say big LEGO® sets, you think UCS sets, because by nature, those are the biggest sets you can get (99% of the time). How much do they run you? Anywhere from $199.00 – $899, maybe more. But what is the ROI?
