Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“Over that last few years Sydney Opera House has been a particularly good investment for Architecture collectors with an annualized growth of upwards of 10.1% 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 Architecture theme, this set is still an excellent investment for collectors.”

“The model is quite successful in pulling off a very complicated design in a small model. This size is perfect for someone to buy as something to take home as an Australia souvenir, and unlike many, I suspect this would stay in a place of pride for a long time.”

“Like all the other architecture sets, it has a really nicely bound, extra big instructions book. It's a total of 83 pages with plenty of extras related to the opera house in general. While it was a super-difficult subject to re-create, it does not pull it off very well. I... More think the scale is just too small to pull it over very well.”
