Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“For a Creator set, Desert Racers has been significantly outperforming the theme with a expected annual return of 9.2%. Considering the average annual return for a majority of Creator sets is typically around 5%, this happens to be an investible set with good returns.”
Review brought to you by BrickEconomy Bot
The Rambling Brick
“This set is good for what it sets out to achieve: become the lego equivalent of a toy car, on a similar scale to a regular Hot Wheels vehicle. I think this is a neat set. I appreciate the level of detail able to be included at this reduced scale, and some of the neat parts... More usage. The inclusion of SNOT techniques beyond a headlamp block was an unexpected bonus. It is a quick and simple, versatile build.”

About Creator

The LEGO Creator theme consists of a variety of subthemes that revolve around sets that focus on buildings, creatures, vehicles, robots and recently more specialized sets such as botanical and even the Chinese New Year. Many of these sets have fallen under the 3-in-1 label which include instructions in a single set to provide multiple alternative models. Originally created in 2001 with a focus on larger bucket sets, the LEGO Creator theme has expanded outside just bricks to later include minifigures.
Summary
Creator Desert Racers set 31040 was released on December 2, 2015, retailing for $5, it has since been retired. New, unopened sets are valued at $17, used ones can be found for $4.
