Forecast Model

This represents the expected annual growth (CAGR) based on a forecast model only.
LEGO 21342 Insects is a 1,111 piece Ideas set released in 2023. It includes models of a Blue morpho butterfly (Morpho peleides), Hercules beetle (Dynastes hercules) and a Chinese mantis (Tenodera sinensis). The original LEGO Insects Ideas submission was conceived by José Maria / hachiroku24.

The current retail price is $79.99, however, the average price on the secondary markets is around $86 which could indicate the set is backordered or temporarily out of stock in various regions. The set is estimated to retire sometime within mid 2025. Once retired, the expected annual growth will be close to 7% after the second year, which will value the set between $97 and $104 shortly after it is retired.

Jays Brick Blog
“Fans and budding entomologists will get to build three highly detailed insects, a Blue Morpho Butterfly, Chinese Mantis and a Hercules Beetle, which are also accompanied by two smaller builds, a seven-spotted ladybug and honeybee. Spectacular tiling and use of colors with... More the Blue Morpho Butterfly.”

The Brothers Brick
“While the final set only includes 3 of the 5 insects of the original Ideas project, it also features three stands with a forest look for the insects to sit on. The insects included are the blue morpho butterfly, a mantis as well as a beetle.”

About Ideas

The LEGO Ideas theme, which started in 2008 as an offshoot of the Japanese website Cuusoo, then formally known as LEGO Cuusoo, is based around a website which allows users to submit ideas for LEGO products to be turned into potential sets available commercially. If fellow users in the LEGO Ideas community up vote the project to 10000 then LEGO Group has a committee which votes on whether to build the set and release it. If the project is approved and cleared for production, it is developed and later released as an official set under the "LEGO Ideas" banner and the original designer receives 1% of the royalties and a number of free sets. Typically, a few projects are approved a year and most are rejected due to various restrictions.
