Comparable Set Analysis

Last years’ 7 retired LEGO Icons sets didn’t perform as strongly however, with an average of just 2% growth so far but a broad range of performance within. LEGO Fiat 500 (10291) has seen 6% growth in the year.

The picture is far stronger when you look at the year before within the sub theme, with the 4 LEGO sets that retired in 2021 with average total growth of 22% over the 2 years.

We’ve taken a look at some of the retired Icons sets below including LEGO 10242 Mini Cooper MK VII which has more than doubled in value since retiring in 2015 (10% annualised growth) and LEGO 10248 Ferrari F40 which has more than trebled since retiring in 2017 (20% annualised growth).

Conclusion

A stunning model which will appeal to Formula 1 and LEGO enthusiasts from a solid theme. For now, LEGO 10330 would not be an investment for us but one to buy and build. It will be going onto our watchlist to revisit further down the line when it gets closer to retirement.
