Investment Grade

⏳ Retired

The Prisoner Transporter set, released in 2014, is now retired and experiencing a price increase on the secondary market. While the set isn't particularly rare or exclusive, its popularity within the LEGO City theme and its reasonable piece count contribute to its potential as a modest investment. The rising price trend indicates growing demand, but it's essential to consider that its value may not skyrocket due to its widespread availability during its retail period. However, complete sets in good condition should see continued appreciation.
