LEGO® Technic
42157 LEGO® Technic John Deere 948L-II Skidder
The LEGO® Technic John Deere 948L-II Skidder (42157) might not be the wisest investment choice at the moment. Despite being recently launched, the set is already available at a discounted price, with the original retail price of £169.99 reduced by £35 (21%) in the LEGO Insiders Members Sale event. Currently listed at £129.99 on Amazon, this reduction is a considerable markdown shortly after its release. With a long time until retirement, caution is advised for potential investors. Launched in June 2023, this licensed Technic set features 1492 pieces and lacks minifigures. While the launch price per piece is 11p, the projected five-year value is estimated at only £195, indicating a modest 14% increase. The forecasted future annual growth is at 7%, with both the overall Technic theme and the Licensed subtheme expected to grow at a relatively modest rate of 7% and 8%, respectively. Considering the recent discount and the extended time until retirement, it may be prudent to avoid investing in this LEGO set for now.
42130 LEGO® Technic BMW M 1000 RR
Investors might want to think twice before considering the LEGO® Technic 42130 BMW M 1000 RR as a potential investment. Despite a high initial retail price of £214.99, the set is currently reduced by £45 (21%). The poor growth projection and the fact that it will still be available next year make it less appealing for investment purposes. Heavy discounting has already been observed, with the set currently priced at £165 at Argos and recently seen as low as £127 at Costco. Launched in January 2022, this licensed Technic set boasts 1921 pieces and lacks minifigures. While the launch price per piece is £0.11, the projected five-year value is estimated at only £249, signalling a modest 16% increase. The forecasted future annual growth is a mere 5%, with both the overall Technic theme and the Licensed subtheme expected to grow at relatively sluggish rates of 7% and 8%, respectively. Given the poor growth projection and the prevalence of heavy discounting, it's advisable to avoid investing in this LEGO set at this time.
LEGO® Star Wars
75309 LEGO® Star Wars Republic Gunship
The LEGO® Star Wars 75309 Republic Gunship is a must-buy for enthusiasts, especially during the LEGO Insiders weekend.

Act fast, as it is soon to retire and is currently available at Argos for £276, the lowest price observed. However, for an even better deal, consider purchasing it through LEGO Insiders during the weekend for double rewards points and an exclusive gift with purchase (GWP). Launched in August 2021, this Ultimate Collector Series set includes 3292 pieces and two minifigures. With a launch price per piece at 10p, the Republic Gunship boasts a projected five-year value of £591, reflecting a substantial 71% increase.

This Landspeeder, part of the Ultimate Collector Series, is a great addition to any collection, offering 1890 pieces and two minifigures. Launched in May 2022, the set still has a year or two of shelf life remaining, but we feel it is still a worthwhile investment.
