Investment Potential

The biggest of the 3 LEGO Chinese Traditional Festival sets being launched on New Years Day, LEGO 80113 looks great value for money with a 5p price per brick and 13 minifigures including a unique

character in a Year of the Dragon costume which can only help to underpin the value of the set, we expect LEGO 80113 to be very popular.

Theme Analysis

The LEGO Chinese Traditional Festivals sub theme was launched in 2013 with LEGO Year of the Snake (10250) and has been a great success ever since producing annualised growth of 16% across the retired sets. The majority of sets have a 12 month shelf life and are LEGO exclusive leading to relatively limited supply.

LEGO Chinese Traditional Festivals is part of the wider LEGO Seasonal theme which includes over 200 sets now since it was first launched in 1999 and has annualised growth of 11%

LEGO Chinese New Year’s Eve Dinner (80101) which retired in 2019 has more than doubled in value (20% annualised growth) whilst Chinese New Year Temple Fair has grown by 67% since retiring in 2020 (19% annualised growth).

Conclusion

We think this is a great set for builders, collectors and investors alike and expect it to be very popular when it is launched on New Years Day.

A LEGO exclusive, an expected short shelf-life of just 12 months, strong theme and sub-theme performance and the value underpinned by the low price per brick and 13 LEGO minifigures we think this will prove to be an excellent LEGO investment.
