Ole Kirk Kristiansen founded the LEGO Group in Denmark in 1932, and the sets of tiny bricks and minifigures have emerged as an ever-growing worldwide phenomenon for kids and global collectors ever since. You probably know LEGO well from childhood, or by stepping on pieces in the dark after your child’s bedtime. For some, LEGO is an annoyance, but the value specific sets carry makes them an investment for many others. These are the most valuable LEGO sets in the world.
LEGO’s Most Expensive Retailing Set
Before examining the most valuable as-new LEGO sets owned and sought-after by collectors, as a comparison, here is the most expensive set still retailing through the LEGO online store.
Millennium Falcon
Item no.: 75192
Release Year: 2017
Pieces: 7541
Minifigures: 4
Price: $849.99 from LEGO
George Lucas’s smash movies are big business, with various Star Wars spin-offs, video games, toys, clothing and LEGO products doing the rounds. Going by the values and growth rates afforded to the retired LEGO sets below, receiving the best return on your investment means you should grab this Millennium Falcon set while it’s still in production. LEGO’s model of this legendary Han Solo’s Corellian freighter craft is the most detailed and largest Star Wars collection model ever created.
With a detailed exterior featuring all the upper and lower quad laser guns, landing legs, a boarding ramp that lowers and a four minifigure cockpit with a detachable canopy. The Millennium Falcon mimics the movie’s craft in many other ways, from its gunnery station and rear compartment to an intricate main hold accessible when you remove individual hull plates. You can also customize your freighter model to a degree by changing the sensor dishes and switching out the crew, with the four minifigures including Solo, Chewbacca, C-3PO and Princess Leia.
The World’s 7 Most Valuable LEGO Sets
LEGO has retired all of these valuable LEGO sets, which is likely why you’ll fork out an incredible amount to add one to your collection. Most are limited editions, produced only for promotions. How much is the most expensive LEGO set in the world? Scroll through the list to find out.
7. 4000031 Exclusive T-Rex
Item no.: 4000031-1
Release Year: 2018
Pieces: 70
Minifigures: N/A
Estimated Price: $8,399.00
There’s something about dinosaurs and things Jurassic, whether it’s the films, the video games based on the movies or a LEGO set. With 4000031 Exclusive T-Rex, you can build the most legendary and feared of these prehistoric beasts mounted on a pedestal — if you can find a set. LEGO made only 500 for various global retailers to give away to lucky customers in-store, with 100 of these promotional sets dispersed around Belgium. Resale profits aren’t considered great for this set, so maybe just build it instead if you find it.
6. 4000000 Cars
Item no.: 4619382
Release Year: 2010
Pieces: 407
Minifigures: N/A
Estimated Price: $8,615.75
LEGO has a fine history involving car sets and models, and it’s continuing with Speed Champions 2025 this year. At the 2010 LEGO Inside Tour, each attendee received one of the 33 sets of 4000000 Cars made especially for the occasion. With these being the only ones in existence, the sets are scarce and sought-after, so finding one may be challenging. With the set, you can build three cars, with the former LEGO CEO Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen designing two in his younger years. 4000000 Cars could be the rarest LEGO set around.
5. Castle — Fort With Hinged Walls and Knights
Item no.: 375-2
Release Year: 1978
Pieces: 767
Minifigures: 14
Estimated Price: $8,746.00
Affectionately known by collectors as “Yellow Castle,” LEGO released this classic-themed set in Europe, Australia and Canada. The toy company released a later version — the same but currently valued at around $2,500 less — in the United States three years later. In light of this fact, ensure you’re getting item number 375-2 and not 6075-2 if you’re investing in this set at the mentioned estimated price. However, neither set has an exceptional predicted annual growth rate.
4. Star Wars Miniland Figures
Item no.: tf11-1
Release Year: 2011
Pieces: 140
Minifigures: N/A
Estimated Price: $9,742.00
You’ll possibly still find some of these Miniland Figures sets on the internet. If you come across a sealed one, look for the individual hand number assigned to it before splurging out. It could be worthwhile, as the predicted annual growth rate is around 40% of its value. LEGO gave out these sets at the 2011 Collector’s Fair in New York City to celebrate the opening of the Star Wars section in Legoland Parks. You can build various Star Wars figures, including the popular Boba Fett from Return of the Jedi.
3. Toy Fair Collector’s Party Giveaway — Han Solo/Indiana Jones Transformation Chamber
Item no.: promosw005
Release Year: 2008
Pieces: 56
Minifigures: 2
Estimated Price: $10,475 00
With Harrison Ford playing Han Solo in the Star Wars movies and Indiana Jones in the well-known motion pictures, LEGO had the clever idea to include both characters in a transformation chamber, creating the illusion of a Ford minifigure transforming from one character to the other on a revolving platform. The company produced only 100 exclusive promotional sets, which it gave to collectors at the 2008 New York Toy Fair. If you find one of these sets still sealed, expect an annual growth of around 35% on your investment.
2. Ole Kirk’s House
Item no.: LIT2009-1
Release Year: 2009
Pieces: 910
Minifigures: N/A
Estimated Price: $13,315.00
Created as a tribute to LEGO founder Ole Kirk Kristiansen, LEGO presented this set to its 2009 Inside Tour attendees. Each of these 32 custom-model house sets was hand-numbered, so if you locate a sealed one, look for that number. LEGO gifted a similar replica set of far lesser value, bearing the item number 4000007, to company employees at its 2012 Christmas party. The 2012 version is worth around $900.
1. San Diego Comic-Con Spider-Man
Item no.: comcon028-1
Release Year: 2013
Pieces: 3
Minifigures: 1
Estimated Price: $17,249.00
Sealed, as new, this Spider-Man set — specifically the one with red lower legs — is the most expensive and valuable LEGO set in the company’s rich history. LEGO released only 350 sets in conjunction with the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con event, with attendees receiving one if they won the daily raffle. With projected annual growth in value of around 15.5%, investing in a San Diego Comic-Con Spider-Man could net you a cool $2,587.35 profit in a year — if you can find one.
How Much Could Your LEGO Set Be Worth in the Future?
Gauging the incredible values attributed to particular sealed and used LEGO sets once they’re retired by the Danish giants, you could already be the owner of a set possessing actual future value. You might choose to unseal and build your set, or keep it sealed for potential future profit. If you make it, keep all your pieces safely packed — it may just turn out to be an investment for the future. Besides, you won’t step on any pieces in the dark that way!
