I think this is different to the old UCS Falcon is a better investment than gold
story from 5-6 years ago.

This one is more about investing in anything that retires reasonably quickly
but still has demand when it retires is going to give a good return.

I've found some fairly standard but retired sets have increased in value
quite significantly, more than they would in a normal year, probably due to richer
people having more money than normal (not spending it on holidays) and wanting
to buy better/more Christmas presents this year.

Just reinforces the idea that LEGOs have inherent worth and that they should
be taken care of. I guess this would make people feel less guilty about having
a bunch of LEGOs in their home, as they do hold quite a lot of value.
