Investment Analysis
The Turkey (40033) 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.
Key factors to consider:
- Strong price-per-piece at $0.096 — lots of brick for the money
At $4.99 retail, the best strategy is to watch for sales and stock up at a discount. Seasonal performs well on the aftermarket, and the Turkey has the right ingredients.
Theme Background
The Turkey falls under the LEGO Seasonal theme, sitting in the Thanksgiving subtheme — a dedicated part of the LEGO catalog. Launched in 2012 at $4.99, it sits in the accessible end of Seasonal. At $0.096 per piece, it punches above its weight on value.
The Thanksgiving 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.
