⏳ Retired

Surfer Rescue is a small, retired set from the LEGO City Coast Guard theme. Its low piece count and original retail price make it accessible, but also limit its potential for significant appreciation. The set's appeal lies in its play value and the inclusion of a shark element, which may attract collectors interested in completing their LEGO City sea layouts. While not expected to skyrocket in value, it could see modest gains due to its age and the popularity of the Coast Guard theme.
