In 2017 LEGO released 1 Boost sets. The largest Boost set from 2017 was
17101 Creative Toolbox with a piece count of 843 and a retail price of $159.99. The current estimated value of all these Boost sets from this year is about $185.44 which represents a 115.9% growth.
LEGO BOOST is a robotics LEGO set aimed at younger children. Within the BOOST box there are five different models including Vernie the Robot, Frankie the Cat, Autobuilder, Guitar4000 and M.T.R.4. Programming the device occurs in a block-based programming system that is touch-based, and each model has different programming blocks relevant to their capabilities. Progressively higher-level programming areas are unlocked as the easier ones are completed. While BOOST has mainly an entertaining goal it also an educational goal, which allows the child to learn the basics of computer programming. The basic robot which can be built in a few hours can roll in all possible directions, throw projectiles, dance, talk through a voice recording system. The various programs are available via a tablet app and to unlock new levels and bricks the child must perform various activities.
2017 LEGO Sets
2017 was a big year for the LEGO movies with the release of The LEGO Batman Movie and The LEGO Ninjago Movie. With these films LEGO gave us a number of new sets and themes around these movies, with many of them already being significant investments for collectors. We also saw a number of new themes released that year including BrickHeadz, DC Super Hero Girls, Boost and of course sets for The LEGO Batman and The LEGO Ninjago movies. However, sadly as it is LEGo did retire the much beloved BIONICLE and Mixels themes as well as the short-lived The Angry Birds Movie theme.
