About This Set

With 81 pieces, the LEGO Bunny (40005) is a smaller set that's great for a quick session. It launched in 2010 under the Seasonal banner at $9.99.

At $0.123 per piece, it runs a bit higher — but that often reflects larger or more specialized elements.

As a LEGO exclusive, the Bunny has limited retail availability — which often translates to stronger aftermarket performance once it retires.

Investment Analysis

The Bunny (40005) isn't retiring anytime soon, so there's no rush from an investment perspective. Sets tend to appreciate most after they leave shelves, so the real opportunity here is down the road. That said, let's look at what it's got going for it.

Overall, the investment outlook is modest but worth tracking.

A few things worth noting:

  • LEGO exclusive distribution — limited availability almost always helps post-retirement pricing

At $9.99 retail, the best strategy is to watch for sales and stock up at a discount. Seasonal performs well on the aftermarket, and the Bunny has the right ingredients.

Theme Background

The Bunny falls under the LEGO Seasonal theme, sitting in the Easter subtheme — a dedicated part of the LEGO catalog. Launched in 2010 at $9.99, it sits in the accessible end of Seasonal. The $0.123 per piece is in line with Seasonal averages.

The Easter subcategory within Seasonal has its own collector base, and sets in this range tend to hold interest well after retirement. Worth keeping on the radar if you're building a Seasonal collection.

Why This Set Is Special

LEGO Exclusive. Only available through LEGO.com and official LEGO stores — limited distribution that typically drives stronger post-retirement appreciation.
