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?

They seem a little on the pricey side for what they are. 

 

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.

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.

Does anyone collect Duplo?

There are no AFODS

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

It`s a great idea.....if it were System sets rather than Duplo.
