Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“Over the past few years, Sting Striker has proven to be a particularly strong investment for Racers collectors, delivering an impressive annualized growth rate of around 13.1%. While there are some market indications that growth may slow slightly in the coming years, any decline is expected to be modest—just a few percentage points at most. Compared to the majority of sets within the Racers theme, this remains an excellent long-term investment for collectors.”
