B+

Investment Grade

⏳ Retired

The Water Dragon (71754) is a retired Ninjago set with a decent piece count and appealing color scheme. Ninjago remains a popular theme, which bodes well for its long-term value. The set features several desirable parts in rarer colors, potentially increasing its value to part-out buyers. As a retired set, its value is likely to gradually increase, especially if demand for Ninjago sets remains strong. However, the relatively high initial price point may temper rapid appreciation. Investing in multiple sealed copies could yield better returns over time.
