Investment Analysis

Overall, the investment outlook is decent with upside.

Key factors to consider:

  • Price-per-piece of $0.107 sits in a good range
  • LEGO exclusive distribution — limited availability almost always helps post-retirement pricing

At $14.99 retail, the best strategy is to watch for sales and stock up at a discount. Friends performs well on the aftermarket, and the Friends Brick Calendar has the right ingredients.

Theme Background

The Friends Brick Calendar falls under the LEGO Friends theme, sitting in the Accessories subtheme — one of LEGO's most established and popular product lines. Launched in 2013 at $14.99, it sits in the accessible end of Friends. The $0.107 per piece is in line with Friends averages.

The Accessories subcategory within Friends 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 Friends collection.
