Investment Potential
A personal favourite LEGO theme for me, the LEGO Star Wars Ultimate Collector Serious or LEGO Star Wars UCS theme which it is also known as has had so many amazing investment stories over the years. In fact, the vast majority of sets in this particular LEGO Star Wars theme have seen epic growth which is worth travelling to a galaxy far far away to benefit from.

Theme Analysis
As stated prior there have been 30 plus sets in the LEGO Star Wars UCS sub theme. All of the sets always have additional collectability with special instructions and additional high quality features this alongside sophisticated, challenging builds mean these sets are always winners but the data surrounding these sets is so strong it would be foolish not to be excited. We looked closer at LEGO Death Star II, LEGO Imperial Star Destroyer, LEGO Yoda, LEGO Ewok Village and can confirm an average annual appreciation of 15%. These sets are well into retirement, so any investors have really benefited from exceptional returns if they managed to keep theme in portfolio for any length of time.
