Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“While Fire Brigade has been only slightly overperforming the average yearly growth of many sets Advanced Models sets, with an average annual growth rate of 14%, this set is strong investment for many LEGO collectors.”
Review brought to you by BrickEconomy Bot

“The Fire Brigade set is essentially two things: First, you get a small fire truck and then the meat of the set is the fire department building. However, unlike the Pet Shop, the Fire Brigade is only two stories tall (though the finished model actually is a bit higher than... More the Pet Shop buildings).”

“The overall design of this set really hits the point: This is an old fire station from the 30's which - from my experience belongs to the picture of Downtown Anywhere in the US. No question that you can improve or add some details - tiles on the floors, a better fire engine,... More but the existing details are really oiutstanding”
