The biggest gain belongs to 4696 Blue Bucket, up 6,039% on its original retail price. The sets below span 2001 to 2022. All the sets below have more than tripled in value. Half of them are up more than 845% on retail. More of these sets come from the Bucket line than any other. The 2000s are the strongest decade on the list. The early Creator buckets and value boxes were sold as everyday supplies of bricks, so few were kept sealed and those that were show the biggest multiples. The 3 in 1 sets grow more slowly, as they are made in large numbers.

Below are the retired LEGO Creator sets that have grown the most in value against their original retail price.
