Sunshine Surfer Van Reviews
Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“As a Creator set, 31079 LEGO Sunshine Surfer Van is a good investment and has been slightly outperforming a typical Creator set with an average annual growth hovering around 7%. While not the best year over year return for this theme, it still is not a bad investment for collectors.”

“I am a big fan of the Sunshine Surfer Van. It has a great design, great brick value, and great build-time value. The Minifigures are a little generic, but it is always good to get regular citizens to fill my city. While I did not build them, there are also two other models... More that you can put together using this kit, a convertible and a lifeguard station. There isn't anything that I don't like about this set, and I highly recommend it.”
“The roof makes great storage for their chairs, table, umbrella, surfboard and grill. Inside you'll find a kitchen, tv, plant, and fold-down bed. Expand your beach adventures by re-assembling your lego pieces into a lifeguard tower, or very cool beach buggy.”

About Creator
The LEGO Creator theme consists of a variety of subthemes that revolve around sets that focus on buildings, creatures, vehicles, robots and recently more specialized sets such as botanical and even the Chinese New Year. Many of these sets have fallen under the 3-in-1 label which include instructions in a single set to provide multiple alternative models. Originally created in 2001 with a focus on larger bucket sets, the LEGO Creator theme has expanded outside just bricks to later include minifigures.

Creator Sunshine Surfer Van set 31079 was released in January 2018, retailing for $35, but has since been retired. New, unopened Sunshine Surfer Van sets are valued at $45, while used sets can be found for $27 in good condition.
