42056 LEGO Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS

The Lego Technic Porsche 911 GT3 RS kit comes in an impressive 578-page long manual with a total of 856 steps in the instructions. It is a 1:8 scale model of the 911. LEGO worked with Porsche to replicate the build process for an actual GT3 RS, allowing Lego builders to follow Stuttgart's actual production sequence as closely as possible. The doors open and close, as does the engine-compartment and front lids. There's a fully adjustable wing at the rear, and a gear bag in the boot. In addition, LEGO has created a replica four-speed version of Porsche's PDK dual-clutch transmission, with rubber-band-tensioned paddle shifters and a drive selector with forward and reverse settings. The gearbox meets a horizontally opposed six-cylinder engine with moving pistons and the steering works, too, and the wheels attach to fully articulated suspension hardware, complete with red dampers. At a PPC of about 11 cents USD, and the amazing detail of the set, this will sure to be a collectors (and car buffs) dream set.

It was retired in April 2019 with a lifespan of 33 months. The current value for a new and sealed Porsche 911 GT3 RS is estimated around $841 today with current average yearly gain of about 38% but will level off in the next year closer to a 17% annual growth. On the secondary markets the typical price range for the set MISB/NISB is between $819 and $971. The current used prices for Porsche 911 GT3 RS can be found in the range of $501 and $671 depending on the set's condition, with an average price of $559 if it is in good overall condition.
