⏳ Appreciating
As a small, retired LEGO City set, the Dragster's investment potential is moderate. While the piece count is low, the rising price trend suggests some collector interest. Its value will likely remain tied to its affordability and appeal to LEGO City completionists. The presence of a minifigure adds a small degree of value.
