Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“For an older Basketball set, Ultimate Defense has outperformed other sets in the theme with an average annual return of 8.0%, which has made it a solid past and expected future investment. For earlier collectors, it has proven to be a substantial investment, with a total growth of over 403%.”
Review brought to you by BrickEconomy Bot
BrickEconomy Memeber Review
“This set is nice but not exceptional, featuring a wind-up motor, basketball shooting minifigures, and a functional net and backboard. While the jumping minifigure stays upright, the bulky apparatus and poor landing are drawbacks. Overall, it’s an okay set with many decent pieces.”
 

About Sports Basketball

The LEGO Basketball subtheme of Sports that ran from 2003 to 2005. In the first year, 2003, sets were licensed by the NBA and were based on real games, court games, and simple street games. The minifigures in this theme had spring-loaded legs and specially designed hands so players can shoot, pass and even reverse slam dunk. These minifigures also featured more realistic skin tones, being based on real-life NBA players from real teams.

Basketball consists of 29 sets that ran from 2003 to 2004. As of today, 3433 The Ultimate NBA Arena is the most valuable Basketball set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $882.
