B-

Investment Grade

⏳ Retired

The LEGO City Advent Calendar 2023 has moderate investment potential. Advent calendars, in general, tend to hold their value due to their limited-time availability and the festive theme. The presence of exclusive minifigures or unique printed parts can further boost its collectibility. However, its broad appeal to children means it's less likely to see significant appreciation compared to larger, more complex sets aimed at adult collectors. The rising price trend suggests some demand, but monitor post-holiday sales as availability increases.
