So, needing to spend £110 at LEGO, here is what would we buy:
We have looked at any sets which are expected to retire this year, that are high up our must buy lists and currently in stock at LEGO. Obviously you could choose any current LEGO set with a cost of over £110 but we think the following are the best LEGO investment options currently:
Option 1 – A basket of lower priced LEGO investment sets
We have put together a basket of 3 sets that combined get us over the threshold of £110 spend to get both:

LEGO enthusiasts can also personalize their postcard with a decorative plaque featuring the word "Australia" and a road sign depicting a kangaroo.
The 3 sets above all retire in December this year, are in stock and should all be great LEGO investment sets. You could also substitute in LEGO BrickHeadz Sonic the Hedgehog (40627) in for either of the last 2 sets if that’s more your style.
