Bluey

30713 Fancy Restaurant with Bingo

Theme Bluey
Year 2026
Pieces / Minifigs 23 / 1
Availability Rumored
As a low-cost Bluey set centered on Bingo, this polybag-sized release has modest but positive investment characteristics, mainly as a character-driven complement to larger sets in the theme. Based on past trends for licensed character polybags, long-term appreciation tends to be limited in absolute terms, but sealed copies can show steady percentage gains once distribution ends, especially when tied to a popular character and an active mainline range.
