Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“While Barrel Escape has been only slightly overperforming the average yearly growth of many sets The Hobbit sets, with an average annual growth rate of 19%, this set is strong investment for many LEGO collectors.”

“The Barrel Escape set is pretty nicely designed. There are some some play features but I feel that is set would make a better display piece. There are also many useful pieces for people to use though. I think the main attraction of the set are the minifigures and the weapons... More that are included.”

“This was a really fun set to put together, and it makes a really nice preview set for the second Hobbit movie. It's a little thin with only about 300+ pieces and for the price you're paying, it really leaves you hungry for more. The minifigs, as with most licensed sets these... More days are the main draw for this set. Parts-wise, we get a lot of great accessories like the One Ring, Sting, Elven swords, wine glasses and bottles and whopping 3 large wooden barrels which are pretty nice to have.”
