From the iconic Quinjet and Avengers Tower to detailed renditions of epic battle scenes, these sets have become favourites among LEGO enthusiasts and Marvel fans alike. The combination of beloved Superheroes, intricate designs, and interactive play features has cemented LEGO Marvel sets as highly sought-after collectibles, (especially LEGO Marvel Minifigures) allowing fans to build and relive the excitement of the Marvel universe in their own homes. Ahead of its release on August 1st, but available for pre-order now at the LEGO store, we take a look at one of the new Marvel LEGO sets - The Avengers Assemble: Age of Ultron.

The LEGO Marvel Superheroes theme was launched in 2012 and since then over 300 sets have been released of which nearly 250 are now retired. The retired LEGO Marvel Super Heroes sets deliver an average annualised growth of 10% with quite a wide range of sets and theme, some successful, some less so.
Below we have looked at some of the retired LEGO sets within the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes theme including LEGO Spider Man: Web Warriors Ultimate Bridge Battle (76057) which has more than doubled in value since retiring in 2017 with an RRP of $100 and now worth over $260 (16% annualised growth), LEGO Super Hero Airport Battle which has more than doubled its $80 RRP since retiring in 2017 (14% annualised growth) and LEGO Quinjet Aerial Battle (6869) which has seen 66% growth since retiring in 2013 (5% annualised growth).

Comparable Set Analysis
LEGO the Avengers: Age of Ultron sub-theme has performed in line with the overall LEGO Marvel Super Heroes theme delivering average annualised growth of 10%. We took a look at some of the retired LEGO sets below including LEGO Attack on Avengers Tower (76038) which has seen 177% growth from its $60 RRP since retiring in 2016 (15% annualised growth), LEGO The Hydra Fortress Smash which has seen just over 150% growth since retiring in 2015 with a $50 RRP (12% annualised growth) and LEGO The Avengers Quinjet City Chase which has seen nearly 70% growth since retiring in 2016 (7% annualised growth).
| Set Number | Set Name | Retired Date | RRP | Current Value | Total Growth | Annualised Growth |
| 76032 | The Avengers Quinjet City Chase | 31/12/2016 | $80 | $137 | 71% | 7% |
| 76038 | Attack on Avengers Tower | 31/12/2016 | $60 | $163 | 172% | 14% |
| 76041 | The Hydra Fortress Smash | 31/12/2015 | $50 | $130 | 160% | 12% |
| 76105 | The Hulkbuster: Ultron Edition | 31/12/2019 | $120 | $155 | 29% | 6% |
Conclusion
LEGO 76291 is a great looking LEGO set from a solid if unspectacular theme (albeit with a few gems included). Both the overall LEGO Marvel Super Heroes theme and the LEGO Avengers: Age of Ultron sub-theme both have historic returns of 10% on average and we think it is very possible this set will slightly outperform that when it retires. The only slight concern for us at Investabrick is the high price per brick but this is somewhat negated by the LEGO minifigures included.
If you are looking to purchaser to build, then LEGO 76291 is already available to pre-order from LEGO now and will be shipped for the start of August.
