Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“Over that last few years Grand Carousel has been a particularly good investment for Advanced Models collectors with an annualized growth of upwards of 20.9% 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 set defines how detailed and gorgeous a Lego set can be. The rich colors and attention to minute detail just make this set stand out. It's loaded with playability, staying with a nice minifig scale so you can include it in a town layout.”

An incredible building experience — “I will say that the inner-workings of the Carousel is a Lego engineering feat. I won't go into too much detail, but when you see your creation come to life with a flip of the switch, it is a very gratifying experience to hear the little tune and see the riders going up and... More down and round and round.”
