Conclusion
We think this is a stunning set, to build and invest. It comes from a strong theme, with an even stronger sub-theme which historically has returned close to 20% a year and one we think will continue to perform close to these levels for a number of years to come.
This Lego.com and Smyths exclusive set is likely to retire this year so don’t hang around too long to purchase, it would make an excellent purchase later this month if Lego.com do a rewards points event as expected to coincide with Amazon Prime Day.
