exciter1 31,713 Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) I noticed several new LEGO Education sets on the shelves at Toys R Us yesterday. What are your thoughts on this new theme and does it have legs as an investment for the holidays, short-term flip, or long-term hold? They appear to be based on the Duplo design.I don't even see them on Shop.Lego.com yet?45008 - Math Train45013 - Cafe 45014 - Story Tales Edited May 8, 2015 by exciter1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sprocket77 1,924 Posted May 8, 2015 They seem a little on the pricey side for what they are. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
legowalker 31 Posted May 8, 2015 (edited) MSRP $100...investment let's say it doubles to $200....parents aren't going to spend $200 on these sets when they can buy something better for $100. Educational stuff are not collector's items. Collectors will buy pay a premium for these when they can simply get something so much cooler with $200. But what do I know, just my opinions.

jbacunn 1,890 Posted May 8, 2015 Love the idea for kids but don't see any investment potential at all. MAYBE a quick flip at Christmas if you got 50% off. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

111ins 19 Posted May 9, 2015 would these sets likely be aimed at in school use? I did not read all of the description but besides the numbers on the train, I do not see much different from other Duplo sets Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
@rtisan 468 Posted May 9, 2015 It`s a great idea.....if it were System sets rather than Duplo. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
