Theme Analysis
This theme is so large and spans such a large period of time it’s no surprise that as a general theme its annualised growth is smaller than some other themes at 5%. It should be noted though that the LEGO City theme is vast and does include some incredible sub themes that we can always be much more bullish about from investment potential. To put some context around the LEGO City theme we looked at some similar sized sets and these included LEGO City Square, LEGO Town Plan, LEGO Capital City and LEGO City Garage. This group of sets has annualised growth at 6.5%.
