Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“Although annual growth has eased slightly over the past year, Lion Safari continues to represent a solid investment for Duplo enthusiasts. Over recent years, Lion Safari has maintained an average yearly return of about 8%, with any future decline expected to be no more than one or two percentage points. In comparison, most Duplo sets average an annual return closer to 5%.”

About Duplo

The LEGO DUPLO theme was introduced as far back as 1969 and is designed for children ages 1 to 5. It features DUPLO figures which are much larger than minifigures and DUPLO blocks which are about twice the length, width, and height of a standard System brick. Like LEGO System, DUPLO also has subthemes that are often junior versions of System themes, like Pirates and Castle and licensed themes like Disney and Super Heros.
