Emerald Night Reviews
Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“Over that last few years Emerald Night has been a particularly good investment for Advanced Models collectors with an annualized growth of upwards of 10.9% per year. However, there is market indication that the set will experience a slight annual growth decrease in the coming years, but this should be only by a few percentage points at most. When compared to the vast majority of set in the Advanced Models theme, this set is still an excellent investment for collectors.”

“ This was a brilliant build, and it's such an amazing result. The style of the 1900's steam era is beautifully captured. It's a very cheap set for what it is. Even though it includes no track or power, there is 1085 parts ”
