2014 LEGO Sets

2014 was yet another great year for LEGO collectors and investors. 2014 saw a staggering 561 sets released, not including gear or books, with 91 promotional and not for retail sets.

Based on the 561 sets released for that year, the retail value was $15,912.70 with a current value of $70,349.82 for the combined new/factory sealed sets. As of present, the best performing theme for 2014 is currently The Simpsons which has seen an average annual growth of upwards of 14% to date. All together 2014 saw the release of sets covering 35 themes and 112 subthemes with Legends of Chima having the highest release count of 59 sets.

2014 brought The LEGO Movie to theaters, propelling LEGO to unprecedented mainstream success and spawning its own theme. LEGO Star Wars celebrated 15 years, while Ninjago—originally planned for retirement—was extended following strong sales and a hit TV series. The first minifigure-scale Minecraft sets appeared, and LEGO The Simpsons launched with The Simpsons House and a dedicated minifigure series. Other additions included LEGO Juniors and the digital-physical LEGO Fusion, while a fan-designed Ghostbusters Ecto-1 commemorated the film’s 30th anniversary. Galaxy Squad, The Lone Ranger, and The Lord of the Rings ended during this period.
