Published: 1 year ago

Last Updated: 1 month ago

Have you ever tried to build a Millennium Falcon out of LEGO bricks? It can be a challenge, but the satisfaction of seeing it take shape piece by piece is worth it. That's the appeal of LEGO Star Wars. It combines the creativity of LEGO brick building with the excitement of Star Wars, one of the most beloved movie franchises of all time. And when it comes to iconic Star Wars locations, the Mos Eisley Cantina is at the top of the list. Now you can recreate that classic scene with the LEGO Mos Eisley Cantina set, part of the LEGO Master Builder Series, complete with all your favourite alien characters. It's no wonder Star Wars LEGO continues to be so popular among fans of all ages. Even the most serious Jedi can't resist the charm and humour of building their own Star Wars LEGO universe, one brick at a time.

Set Details

Experience the thrill of building and recreating iconic scenes from Star Wars: A New Hope with the impressive Lego Star Wars Mos Eisley Cantina (75290).

Investment Potential

Coming from the Lego Master Builder Series we know this is going to be a must have set for serious builders, but we have also looked at it from an investment perspective below.

Launch RRP 400
5th Year Value $1,281
Theme Growth 11%
Sub Theme Growth 0%

Theme Analysis

How much more can we say about the overall Lego Star Wars Theme! Historic average annualised growth of 17% over a long period of time and a large sample size with a long list of successful investment sets.

Below we have looked at some of the sets in a similar price range to Lego Mos Eisley Cantina and can see excellent performance again, close to the 17% annualised growth of the wider theme.

The picks of these sets are Lego Star Wars Super Star Destroyer (10221) which has nearly trebled in value from £349.99 to over £1,000 in 8 ½ years since retiring (14% annualised growth) and Lego Star Wars Ultimate Collector’s Millenium Falcon (10179) which retired in 2009 with an RRP of £342.99 and is now worth almost 5 times that value at £1,730 (13% annualised growth).

Set Number Set Name Retired Date RRP Current Value Total Growth Annualised Growth
10179 Ultimate Collector's Millennium Falcon 31/12/2009 $500 $2,503 401% 12%
10188 Death Star 31/12/2010 $400 $805 101% 5%
75059 Sandcrawler 31/12/2016 $300 $552 84% 8%

Comparable Set Analysis

The Lego Master Builder Series sub theme is much harder to evaluate as currently there has only been one retired set. That said, what a set it was! Lego Star Wars Betrayal at Cloud City (75222) retired in Dec 2019 with an RRP of £299.99 and is currently valued at more than double that amount, close to £700, delivering annualised growth of a stunning 26%.

Set Number Set Name Retired Date RRP Current Value Total Growth Annualised Growth
75222 Betrayal at Cloud City 31/12/2019 $350 $863 147% 21%

Conclusion

What’s not to love about what appears to be another blockbuster Star Wars LEGO set? If we were being picky then the lack of track record in the sub theme could be seen as a small negative (despite the stellar performance of the one retired set) but in a general theme this strong and with such a track record we think this will prove to be another strong investment.

Coming up to 3 years shelf life but expected to be available for the rest of this year, and most likely next year too, we would look to future discounts to purchase this set (historically it has been included in the 20% sale at John Lewis earlier this year).
