Theme Analysis
Looking at the data from the table below, it is evident that these sets from the wider LEGO Marvel Super Heroes theme have seen significant growth in their value over time. The average annualised growth rate for the theme is 12%. We looked closely at LEGO The Hulkbuster Ultron Edition (76105) which had an annualised growth of 13% since retirement, LEGO Sanctum Sanctorum Showdown (76108) which had a 15% annualised growth, LEGO Super Hero Airport Battle (76051) which was at 15% and finally LEGO The Avengers Quinjet City Chase (76032) which has had 8% annualised growth since 2016. We feel that as a rule Avengers sets can pull the overall theme down when looking at investment growth so certainly something to bear in mind when looking at sets also.
