Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“While the annual growth has been slightly declining over the last year, we still believe that Empire State Building is a good set to invest in if you collect Architecture sets. Over the last several years, Empire State Building has averaged an annual growth of just around 9% and is expected to decline no more than one or two percent in the next couple of years, while Architecture sets have an average annual return of around 8%.”

“21002 Empire State Building achieves its possible objectives well - it is a collectable package, an instantly recognisable recreation of an iconic building, and a reasonably interesting building experience. Whether this will appeal to the average AFOL or not is debatable.... More For a collector, or a casual dabbler looking for a little adult-orientated LEGO fun, I could recommend it.”

“This set is perfect for dedicated fans of the LEGO Architecture theme. Empire State Building earns an enthusiastic Recommended (4/5 star) rating for fans of the LEGO Architecture theme due to the very high level of detail and interesting building techniques in the central... More core.”
