About 2008 LEGO Sets

2008 was yet another great year for LEGO collectors and investors. 2008 saw a staggering 287 sets released, not including gear or books, with 20 promotional and not for retail sets.

Based on the 287 sets released for that year, the retail value was $10,289.31 with a current value of $76,633.38 for the combined new/factory sealed sets. As of present, the best performing theme for 2008 is currently Architecture which has seen an average annual growth of upwards of 12% to date. All together 2008 saw the release of sets covering 24 themes and 59 subthemes with City having the highest release count of 46 sets.

2008 celebrated two milestones: the 50th anniversary of the LEGO brick and the 30th anniversary of the minifigure. LEGO Cuusoo (later LEGO Ideas) launched in Japan, paving the way for fan-designed sets. Indiana Jones joined Star Wars as LEGO’s second Lucasfilm theme, and Speed Racer appeared briefly alongside it. In-house lines included Agents and the debut of LEGO Architecture, aimed at adult collectors. The Green Grocer (10185) further elevated the Modular Buildings line, confirming its status among LEGO’s most prestigious collections.
