The assortment includes a variety of bricks, plates, windows, and basic accessories intended for unrestricted building. Several brick types follow the pre–inner support geometry of the period, including black and blue 1×2, 2×2, and 2×3 bricks produced without interior cross supports. The set also includes four small solid smooth tires compatible with early LEGO wheel hubs. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $6 within the next year.
Basic Building Set (055-2) is a very old and rare LEGO set. It has not been available online or in retail stores in good/new condition for over 2 years. Because of its scarcity, the current estimated value of in new condition of $5.75 may be much lower than its true market value. Released in 1968, sealed sets in good condition are especially difficult to find, often commanding a premium well above estimates.
