Brick-Tracker Releases New EOL and Investment Analysis
Brick-Tracker has published two critical reports this week analyzing the secondary market. One report identifies 45 LEGO sets from the 2026 EOL (End of Life) list that are currently selling above their Manufacturer's Suggested Retail Price (MSRP), providing a ranking and price development timeline for collectors. A companion guide details investment strategies, noting that while many sets appreciate, a 35–38% purchase strategy is often cited for optimal returns, though risks remain.
Colorado Springs Hosts First Brick Convention
The Colorado Springs Brick Convention took place this weekend, marking the first time the city has hosted a dedicated LEGO fan event. The convention featured massive displays, interactive building zones, and family-friendly entertainment, reflecting the continued expansion of regional fan events across the United States.
New Data on Premium Set Valuations
A new analysis from Brick-Tracker compares the UVP (MSRP), market value, and return on investment for the most expensive LEGO sets. The data highlights which premium models are trading above their retail price and which are underperforming, offering collectors a clearer view of the high-end secondary market.
Local view
German-language outlet Brick-Tracker is leading the conversation on investment strategies, emphasizing that "high raw returns may reflect market-wide appreciation... rather than asset-specific price discovery". KRDO in Colorado highlighted the local impact of the first-ever Brick Convention, noting the event's role in bringing together collectors and builders for a weekend of exhibition.
Context & numbers
- EOL Inventory: Brick-Tracker identified 45 specific sets from the 2026 EOL list currently trading above MSRP.
- Appreciation Strategies: Investment guides suggest a 35–38% entry point strategy for certain sets to mitigate risk, though this is not a guaranteed metric.
- Event Growth: The Colorado Springs event is the first of its kind for the region, joining a growing tour of Brick Conventions across the US.
On the radar
- November 2026 Releases: Jay's Brick Blog has updated the list of upcoming November sets, including 11390 Shenron & Goku, 21065 Sagrada Família, and 10371 Cozy Plants. Collectors are monitoring these for potential initial price spikes.
- Clone Brick Litigation: While no new rulings were issued this week, the shadow of past major litigation (such as the 300 million RMB judgment against "Lepin" and the 1.1 billion RMB case against "Mould King") continues to influence the market's perception of non-LEGO brands.
