Investment Grade

⏳ Retired

The Police Highway Arrest set is a retired LEGO City set, which typically holds some value. Its smaller piece count and lower price point mean it's unlikely to see huge gains, but the inclusion of Duke DeTain adds some collectibility. As a retired set, it will likely appreciate modestly over time, especially if kept sealed.
