Hello. Apologies if this question has been raised before but I couldn't find
it looking back through the forums.

I'd like to invest in certain Lego sets and would really love to buy the
sets in multiples to match the brown LEGO retail outer shipping boxes (for 2
reasons, to try to minimise and potential shipping damage to individual boxes,
and also to keep the sets in the best condition for the future)

Specifically, I'm really wanting to buy a few 42158 Mars Perseverance Rovers
as I really think the potential ROI could be good - the last rover was around
£60 and now regularly achieves over £300. I have a feeling they are shipped to
stores in 3's but it could be in 5's?. Obviously there's no guarantee
I'd receive them in the outer boxes but I'd stand more chance ordering
in the correct numbers.

Does anyone know a way of finding out the number of boxed sets are in each outer
container or better still, know how many of these sets are in each outer?.

Thanks

Curiosity Rover was only £25. But that was a time when not that many people (compared
to now) invested in LEGO and before the surge in popularity of LEGO among adults.

As to box sizes, go to a store and ask if you can have ones from out back in
the shipping boxes. Or order 15 so you are covered whether it is 3 or 5.
