LEGO 483 Alpha-1 Rocket Base was a 187 piece Space set with 3 minifigs released in 1978. It includes a rocket base on a crater baseplate with launch tower and control center, a moonbuggy with trailer, a rocket. It was only available in the United States and is the same version as set 920 Launch Pad.

The current value for a new and sealed Alpha-1 Rocket Base is estimated around $1,401 today with current average yearly gain of about 11% but will level off in the next year closer to a 8% annual growth making it a solid investment. On the open market, a used set will fetch in the range of between $120 and $198 depending on the condition.

It's been a few months since we have seen 483 Alpha-1 Rocket Base for sale in primary or secondary markets. The current value of this set might be slightly higher then what we have estimated. The last new Alpha-1 Rocket Base seen was sold on ebay.com.

“This is a great set. The base, fuel vehicle, and launch platform offers a great amount of playability. My only complaint is the rocket. I don't think I ever played with it as a kid because it always fell apart.”

Brickset

“This set is absolutely terrific, and in it comes with a small car to tow a fuel tank a rocket a control room three figures and many rare pieces. Overall, terrific for its age.”

Full review at brickset.com

“Rocket, movable gantry, fuel truck, control center with upper and lower computer banks, radar for tracking, and three astronauts on a crater plate. The fueling station is a nice touch as are the hoses on the fuel truck. The hardest parts for me to acquire were the hoses and... More the blue taps.”
