The Fun with LEGO Bricks set, being a basic brick assortment, typically doesn't see significant appreciation in value. Its investment potential is limited due to the general availability of similar brick sets. However, unopened sets may hold some value for collectors seeking complete basic sets. The large piece count and variety of colors make it a decent parts pack, but not a standout investment.
