The Arctic. It’s a place of icy intrigue and blustery fascination. But why do people find it so captivating? Perhaps it’s the allure of polar bears, the fluffy, yet ferocious, kings of the tundra. Or maybe it’s the chance to experience a land where the sun never sets, making you wonder if bedtime is even a thing here. For others, it’s the sheer magnitude of this icy wilderness that beckons, filled with frozen expanses that stretch as far as the eye can see. Regardless of the reasons, the Arctic continues to draw in the curious and daredevils alike, making it one of the most magical places on Earth. However, you don’t have to hop on a plane and brave the frigid temperatures to experience the Arctic for yourself. With the introduction of LEGO® City Arctic sets, you can unleash your inner explorer and create your very own Arctic adventure from the comfort of your own home. From snowmobiles to research stations, these sets are as cool as the Arctic itself (pun intended). So, grab a hot cocoa and get building! Who knows, maybe you’ll discover a new species of LEGO polar bear.

Theme Analysis

Underlying numbers on the LEGO City theme of 8% annualised growth don’t scream immediate investment for us and very few of the sets out perform the theme by any great number. The most solid of the LEGO City sets was Lego City The Mine (4204) which has more than doubled in value since retiring in 2014.

Set Number	Set Name	Retired Date	RRP	Current Value	Total Growth	Annualised Growth
60228	Deep Space Rocket and Launch Control	December 2021	£90	£96	7%	4%
4204	The Mine	December 2014	£70	£160	129%	10%
4440	Forest Police Station	December 2013	£60	£105	75%	6%
60161	Jungle Exploration Site	December 2018	£85	£124	46%	9%

Comparable Set Analysis

The performance of the retired LEGO City Arctic sets is a little more encouraging at 10% annualised growth but still nothing to get us rushing to buy indiscriminately from the sub theme. Having looked at some of the individual LEGO City Arctic sets we found a varied level of performance, the pick of which was LEGO City Arctic Icebreaker (60062).

Set Number	Set Name	Retired Date	RRP	Current Value	Total Growth	Annualised Growth
