  • Expected Retirement Pop %: High (30-60%)
  • Expected Growth in 2 Years: High (40-70%)

LEGO Super Mario 71411 The Mighty Bowser

  • Expected Retirement Date: Estimated July 2025 (some regions may already have it retired or retiring very soon).
  • Original Retail Price (MSRP): Approximately $269.99 USD (prices can vary by region).
  • Pieces: 2,807
  • Expected Retirement Pop %: High (40-70%). Large, iconic, and highly detailed display sets from popular licensed themes like Super Mario tend to see a significant price jump immediately after retirement due to their broad appeal and the sudden halt in new supply. Bowser is an extremely recognizable and beloved character.
  • Expected Growth in 2 Years Time: High (50-80%). After the initial retirement “pop,” sets like The Mighty Bowser often continue to appreciate steadily as supply dwindles on the secondary market and collector demand remains strong. BrickEconomy even suggests an expected annual growth of around 6% after the second year, with projections valuing the set significantly higher within a few years of retirement.
  • Supply vs. Demand: Moderate-to-Low Supply, Very High Demand. While it’s a large set and had a good production run, the demand for a detailed, display-worthy Bowser figure is exceptionally high among both LEGO collectors and Super Mario fans. Once it’s gone from retail, the existing supply will be quickly absorbed by the market, leading to increased scarcity.
  • Overall Investment Score (1/10): 1 (Statistically looks like the best investment among the listed sets). This set checks many boxes for a strong LEGO investment:
    • Strong, recognizable IP: Super Mario is a global phenomenon.
    • Iconic Character: Bowser is one of the most recognizable video game villains.
    • Display-oriented: Appeals to adult collectors who want a centerpiece.
    • Large Piece Count/Impressive Build: Provides significant perceived value and a rewarding building experience.
    • Unique Design: Not a standard playset, but a detailed model.
