Value drivers

JANG's LEGO Reviews: The new wheelchair piece and helmet variations are components that drive parts value rather than minifig-specific exclusivity

Exclusivity

JANG's LEGO Reviews: Standard LEGO City wide retail release; not exclusive

Resale

JANG's LEGO Reviews: Not explicitly stated, but the quality of printed parts and the uniqueness of the customization system suggest stable or positive resale expectations.
