Set Value (New/Sealed)

This represents the current new/sealed value of the set Universal Building Set since January 1966. Medium accuracy
LEGO 070 Universal Building Set was a Universal Building Set set released in 1966. It was produced from 1967 until the end of 1972. It was sold in continental Europe, Britain and Australia. Earlier sets had either paper or plastic white individual trays. In the late 1960s and early 1970s TLG switched over to large 1 piece partitioned gray plastic trays.
Universal Building Set is an extremely old and very rare LEGO set. We have not seen set 070-1 currently for sale online or in the hundreds of retail stores in good/new condition in over 2,657 days. Because of the rarity of this hard to find set the current estimated value of $708.35 might actually be much lower than the true value, assuming this set can be found for sale.Because Universal Building Set is a very old set from 1966, finding it in a sealed and good condition might be difficult thus making the true value even that much higher.

About Universal Building Set Basic Set

LEGO's Universal Building Sets theme was released as early as 1966 but it was not until 1973 that the Basic LEGO sets became known as Universal Building Sets. These sets were produced in two set version numbers, the first was for sets that were sold in the UK, Europe, Canada and Australia. The other version numbers, but for the same exact set with the same box artwork was released in the United States. Most, but not all sets between 1973 and 1981 were sold in both regions.

Basic Set consists of 24 sets that ran from 1966 to 1977. As of today, 088 4.5V Super Set is the most valuable Basic Set set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $3,000.
