The Creator Advanced Models building sets focus on iconic building and structures from around the world. Introduced in 2008 with the first Taj Mahal, these LEGO building sets typically increase in value at very steady rates once retired as new releases to the theme generally occur every couple of years.
2008 LEGO Sets
In 2008, LEGO celebrated two major milestones—the 30th anniversary of the Minifigure and the 50th anniversary of the LEGO Brick—marking half a century of creativity, innovation, and expansion. This year also saw the launch of LEGO Cuusoo, an early version of what would eventually become LEGO Ideas, allowing fans to submit and vote on set concepts for potential production. This initiative paved the way for some of LEGO’s most collectible and fan-driven releases in the years to come.
