Atlantis: Investments by CAGR

The Atlantis theme has twenty-three sets. These twenty-three sets were released over a period of two years: 2010-2011. Currently the Atlantis theme is retired. Out of the twenty-three sets, there are eight that have a positive CAGR. These eight sets will be ranked and explained.

1. 7978 Angler Attack

The 7978 Angler Attack has the best CAGR out of all the Atlantis sets, which is 16.61%. I consider that a decent CAGR. The set is down 2.51% from the last month. The set has a retail price of $19.99 USD. Since the set has 200 pieces, the Price Per Piece (PPP) ratio for the set is ten cents ($0.10 USD) per piece. The set was released in 2011. Now in 2013, the set has a PPP ratio of fourteen cents ($0.14 USD). The set has increased four cents per piece over two years. Here is a simple chart showing the growth of the set:

• 2011: $19.99 USD
• 2012: $23.31 USD
• 2013: $27.18 USD
• 2014: $31.70 USD
• 2015: $36.96 USD

This set is a great investment. If the CAGR stays the same or relatively similar, after four to five years the set would have doubled its retail value.

2. 8056 Monster Crab Clash

The 8056 Monster Crab Clash has the second best CAGR of the Atlantis theme. The CAGR is 12.23%. I consider that a average CAGR. The set is down 2.47% from the last month. The set has a retail price of $6.99 USD. Since the set has sixty-eight (68) pieces, the PPP ratio is ten cents ($0.10 USD) per piece. The set was released in 2010. Now in 2013, the set has a PPP ratio of fifteen cents ($0.15 USD) per piece. The set has increased five cents over three years. Here is a simple chart showing the growth of the set:

• 2010: $6.99 USD
• 2011: $7.84 USD
• 2012: $8.80 USD
• 2013: $9.88 USD
• 2014: $11.09 USD
• 2015: $12.45 USD

This set is another great investment. If the CAGR stays the same or relatively the same, the set would have doubled it retail price after six years in 2016.

3. 8058 Guardian of the Deep

The 8058 Guardian of the Deep has a very close CAGR to the 8056 Monster Crab Clash. It is only a quarter of a percent away. The CAGR for the set is 12.00%. The set has not changing in value over the past month. The set has a retail price of $14.99 USD. Since the set has 144 pieces, the PPP ratio is ten cents ($0.10 USD) per piece. The set was released in 2010. Now in 2013, the set has a PPP ratio of fifteen cents ($0.15 USD) per piece. The set has increased five cents over three years.

• 2013: $21.06 USD
• 2014: $23.59 USD
• 2015: $26.42 USD

This set is just like the 8056 Monster Crab Clash. The set is a great investment. If the CAGR stay the same or relatively the same, the set would double its retail value after six years in 2016.

4. 7976 Ocean Speeder

The 7976 Ocean Speeder is a decent investment from the Atlantis theme. The set has a CAGR of 9.20%. The set is down 0.83% from the past month. The set has a retail price of $4.99 USD.

This set is a good investment. If the CAGR stays the same or relatively the same, the set will have increased 50% over the retail price over four years in 2015.

5. 8073 Manta Warrior

The 8073 Manta Warrior is a decent/bad investment. The set only has a CAGR of 5.69%. The set is down 2.08% from the past month. The set has a retail price of $3.99 USD. Since the set has thirteen pieces, the PPP ratio is thirty-one cents ($0.31 USD) per piece. The set was released in 2010.

• 2014: $4.97 USD
• 2015: $5.26 USD

This set is a bad/decent investment. Even though the set has a positive CAGR, the set would take four years to grow 25% in value over the retail price. That would mean it took four years to make $1 USD per set.

6. 8072 Sea Jet

The 8072 Sea Jet is a decent/bad investment. The set only has a CAGR of 5.69%, just like the 8073 Manta Warrior. The set is up 1.29% from the past month. The set has a retail price of $3.99 USD, just like the 8073 Manta Warrior. Since the set has twenty-three (23) pieces, the PPP ratio is seventeen cents ($0.17 USD) per piece. The set was released in 2010. Now in 2013, the set has a PPP ratio of twenty cents ($0.20 USD) per piece. The set has increased three cents per piece over three years. Her is a simple chart showing the growth of the set.

• 2010: $3.99 USD

• 2012: $4.46 USD
• 2013: $4.71 USD
• 2014: $4.97 USD
• 2015: $5.26 USD

This set is the exact same as the 8073 Manta Warrior. Even though the set has a positive CAGR, it is low and it only profitable if purchased in high numbers. It would take four years to make $1 USD per set.

7. 7985 City of Atlantis

The 7985 City of Atlantis is a bad investment. Even though the set has a positive CAGR, it is very low and not very profitable. The set has a CAGR of 3.10%. The set is up 2.23% from the past month. The set has a retail price of $69.99 USD. Since there are 686 pieces in the set, the PPP ratio is ten cents ($0.10 USD) per piece. The set was released in 2011. Now in 2013, the set has a PPP ratio of eleven cents ($0.11 USD) per piece. The set has increased one cent per piece over two years. Here is a simple chart showing the growth of the set:

• 2011: $69.99 USD
• 2012: $72.16 USD
• 2013: $74.40 USD
• 2014: $76.70 USD
• 2015: $79.08 USD

This set is a bad investment. The set has increased $4 USD over two years. That is not a lot of money made. Even if you bought many sets, the set would still not be very profitable. Some people are fooled by this because they think a positive CAGR means a good positive return. This set says otherwise.

8. 7977 Seabed Strider

The 7977 seabed Strider is a bad investment. The set has a CAGR of 0.75%. That is less than a percent. That is not a lot of growth at all, but there is a very tiny amount of growth. The set has a retail price of $9.99 USD. Since there are 105 pieces in the set, the PPP ratio is ten cents ($0.10 USD) per piece. The set was released in 2011. Now in 2013, the set has a PPP ratio that is still ten cents ($0.10 USD) per piece. The set has a current value of $10.14 USD. The set has only increased fifteen cents ($0.15 USD) in value over two years. Here is a simple chart showing the growth of the set:

• 2011: $9.99 USD
• 2012: $10.06 USD
• 2013: $10.14 USD
• 2014: $10.22 USD
• 2015: $10.29 USD

Even though this set has a positive CAGR, it is very very very low, and it does not make a difference when investing. The set would take thirteen years to gain 10% or $1 USD over the retail price at this CAGR. This is not my investment choice.

These eight sets are the sets that have a positive CAGR from the Atlantis theme. All the set have positive CAGR, I only consider the top four sets worthy for investing. They have a high CAGR, which would make nice returns and profits unlike the other four sets that would take a long time to get a decent profit out of them. Hopefully, all these sets will continue to have these CAGR and even better ones to help in out investing
