Investment Grade

⏳ Retired

The LEGO Bird of Paradise set presents a moderately attractive investment opportunity. As part of the popular Botanical Collection, it benefits from a strong demand for display-oriented models. Its retirement in 2023 should lead to steady appreciation, especially given the rising trend observed in the secondary market. However, its relatively high MSRP for the piece count suggests potential for slower growth compared to licensed or limited-edition sets. Comparable botanical sets have shown consistent growth post-retirement, suggesting the Bird of Paradise is likely to follow suit.
