As the inexorable passage of time, many things of the 90s become especially valuable. These are Barbie dolls, and Tamagotchi, and many other toys. Since then, their value has only increased, and some items bring thousands of dollars at auctions. However, there is one toy that has surpassed all the others: the Lego constructor.
A study published by the Higher School of Economics revealed an interesting fact: Lego sets provide high investment returns - higher than stocks, bonds and even gold.
According to researchers, over the past three decades, designer kits have provided the best return on investment, which amounted to 11% per year. “The demand for Lego sets does not depend on financial crises. The designer can be seen as an attractive way to invest money ”- writes Victoria Dobrynskaya, author of the study.
It is not clear why Lego is so in demand. But scientists attribute this to the fact that people are nostalgic for the past. It is important to note that not all Lego constructors are equal in value. Some sets are especially valuable.
For example, a model called "Team Giant Truck" (translated as "a giant car for the team"), released in 1999, currently on sale on ebay for as much as $ 2,000!
The Lego Millennium Falcon Collection (pictured below) dedicated to Star Wars and released in 2007, Now valued at $ 969.
The Imperial Star Destroyer pack sells for a whopping $ 3,889.
Therefore, if you still have Lego sets in good condition, it may be worth holding them a little more. It is nice to know that all the pain you experienced when stepping on the constructor at night will pay off in the future for fabulous money.
