About This Set

LEGO dropped the Chicken Skater Pod (853958) in 2019 as part of the Seasonal Easter collection — a smaller set that's great for a quick session at 36 pieces with a retail price of $6.99. You get 1 minifigure in the box, which adds to the collectible appeal.

At $0.194 per piece, it runs a bit higher — but that often reflects larger or more specialized elements.

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

Overall, the investment outlook is decent.

What works in its favor:

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

At $6.99 retail, the best strategy is to watch for sales and stock up at a discount. Seasonal performs well on the aftermarket, and the Chicken Skater Pod has the right ingredients.

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.
