Published: 1 year ago

Last Updated: 1 month ago

60368 LEGO City Arctic Explorer Ship. Go on a snow-filled adventure with LEGO Arctic set. LEGO has always enabled fans to take their imaginations all over the globe. Now you can venture to the coldest corners of the world with LEGO Arctic.

The Arctic. It's a place of icy intrigue and blustery fascination. But why do people find it so captivating? Perhaps it's the allure of polar bears, the fluffy, yet ferocious, kings of the tundra. Or maybe it's the chance to experience a land where the sun never sets, making you wonder if bedtime is even a thing here. For others, it's the sheer magnitude of this icy wilderness that beckons, filled with frozen expanses that stretch as far as the eye can see. Regardless of the reasons, the Arctic continues to draw in the curious and daredevils alike, making it one of the most magical places on Earth. However, you don't have to hop on a plane and brave the frigid temperatures to experience the Arctic for yourself. With the introduction of LEGO® City Arctic sets, you can unleash your inner explorer and create your very own Arctic adventure from the comfort of your own home. From snowmobiles to research stations, these sets are as cool as the Arctic itself (pun intended). So, grab a hot cocoa and get building! Who knows, maybe you'll discover a new species of LEGO polar bear.

Theme Analysis

Underlying numbers on the LEGO City theme of 8% annualised growth don’t scream immediate investment for us and very few of the sets out perform the theme by any great number. The most solid of the LEGO City sets was Lego City The Mine (4204) which has more than doubled in value since retiring in 2014.

Set Number Set Name Retired Date RRP Current Value Total Growth Annualised Growth
4204 The Mine 31/12/2014 $100 $208 108% 8%
4440 Forest Police Station 04/12/2013 $80 $138 72% 5%
60161 Jungle Exploration Site 31/12/2018 $120 $169 41% 6%
60228 Deep Space Rocket and Launch Control 31/12/2021 $100 $125 25% 8%

Comparable Set Analysis

The performance of the retired LEGO City Arctic sets is a little more encouraging at 10% annualised growth but still nothing to get us rushing to buy indiscriminately from the sub theme. Having looked at some of the individual LEGO City Arctic sets we found a varied level of performance, the pick of which was LEGO City Arctic Icebreaker (60062).

Set Number Set Name Retired Date RRP Current Value Total Growth Annualised Growth
60036 Arctic Base Camp 31/12/2015 $90 $177 97% 8%
60062 Arctic Icebreaker 31/12/2015 $130 $241 85% 7%
60195 Arctic Mobile Exploration Base 31/12/2019 $120 $129 8% 2%
60196 Arctic Supply Plane 31/12/2019 $80 $133 66% 11%

Conclusion

A solid, but unexciting theme for investing and one to pass on for us as there are better opportunities out there currently.
