LEGO 079 Giant Base Plate was a Samsonite set released in 1965. This version was only released in United States with a different colors including gray or green. It was 50x50 studs wide.

The current value for a new and sealed Giant Base Plate is estimated at $95 with an average yearly gain of about 7%.

Giant Base Plate is an extremely old and very rare LEGO set. We have not seen set 079-1 currently for sale online or in the hundreds of retail stores in good/new condition in over 1,239 days. Because of the rarity of this hard to find set the current estimated value of $95.29 might actually be much lower than the true value, assuming this set can be found for sale.Because Giant Base Plate is a very old set from 1965, finding it in a sealed and good condition might be difficult thus making the true value even that much higher.
