Investment Analysis
The Donut Truck (60452) is on its way out this year — and that's exactly when things get interesting from an investment standpoint. Once it's gone from shelves, secondary market prices usually start climbing. If you've had your eye on this one, the clock is ticking.
Overall, the investment outlook is modest but worth tracking.
Key factors to consider:
Price-per-piece of $0.102 sits in a good range
With retirement approaching, picking up the Donut Truck at or below its $19.99 retail price is the move. City sets with these characteristics don't tend to stay cheap for long once they're gone.
Theme Background
The Donut Truck falls under the LEGO City theme, sitting in the Great Vehicles subtheme — one of LEGO's most established and popular product lines. Launched in 2025 at $19.99, it sits in the accessible end of City. The $0.102 per piece is in line with City averages.
The Great Vehicles subcategory within City 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 City collection.
Why This Set Is Special
