LEGO 021-1 Wheel Set is a Samsonite Basic Set released in 1966, containing 185 pieces. It focuses on wheel assemblies and related elements, including smooth solid tires in two sizes, 4-stud wheels with metal axle cams, a nylon hinge coupling, assorted red, blue, and black bricks and slopes, and an early 10 x 20 baseplate. Marketed in the Samsonite catalog as suitable for building cars, trucks, trains, and other wheeled models, the components were compatible with standard LEGO collections. The set was manufactured by Samsonite and sold exclusively in the United States and Canada.

A new and sealed Wheel Set is currently valued at around $353, with annual growth of approximately 7%. The average used price is $293 for those in good overall condition. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $377 within the next year.
Wheel Set (021-1) is an exceptionally old and rare LEGO set. It has not been available online or in retail stores in good/new condition for over 2 years. Due to its rarity, the estimated value in sealed condition of $352.95 may understate its true worth, assuming one can even be found for sale. Since this set was released in 1966, finding it sealed and well-preserved is exceptionally difficult—making complete sets with intact boxes museum-grade collectibles.
There are currently no new/sealed listings available for Wheel Set at this time.

About Samsonite Basic Set

These are the basic brick sets sold in North America by Samsonite, the luggage maker, which held the LEGO licence there from 1961. Samsonite made the ordinary bricks itself, first at its factory in Stratford, Ontario, while the special parts came over from Billund, and in 1965 it opened a plant in Loveland, Colorado, used only for LEGO.

Basic Set consists of 82 sets that ran from 1961 to 1975. As of today, 080-2 Ambassador Set is the most valuable Basic Set set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $3,550.
