Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“While Research Institute has been slightly underperforming yearly growth when compared to other sets in Ideas, at an average annual growth rate of around 8%, this set is still a decent investment for most LEGO collector portfolios.”

“I feel like this set is a piece of LEGO Ideas history, it’s the one that baffled with popularity, it held a message and gave us some variety. The set has a couple of interesting builds despite its small scale.”

Little Brick Root
“The completed set is a fine ensemble. All three of the scientists feature unique torsos and give good portrayals of female scientists. The vignettes would make nice displays together or separately, adding to the appeal of an otherwise small set.”

Jays Brick Blog
“This set is a lot of fun and will probably be within my personal Top 10 sets this year. I really hope that LEGO will rapidly address availability issues and deal a sharp blow to the speculators and hoarders who bought this set to turn a quick profit. In my humble opinion,... More profiteering off toys and manufactured scarcity have no place in LEGO and is something I really detest.”
