Investment Analysis

The LEGO NINJAGO City Markets (71799) is set to retire this year, which puts it squarely in the sweet spot for investors. Retail availability is winding down, and aftermarket demand typically picks up from here.

Investment-wise, we'd call this one very promising.

A few things worth noting:

  • The $0.060 price-per-piece is well below average — good sign for value retention
  • At 6,163 pieces, the sheer size of this build works in its favor long-term
  • Exclusive to LEGO channels, which limits supply and typically boosts secondary market value
  • 21 minifigures means strong secondary market appeal even if you part it out

Bottom line: Ninjago sets that retire with this profile usually see meaningful appreciation. If you spot the NINJAGO City Markets on sale, don't overthink it.
