LEGO 078 Roadway Base Plate is a vintage Samsonite set from 1970 valued at $2 for new and sealed sets, up 0% from an original retail price of $1.99. Annual appreciation has averaged 9.10% since release. Used copies are valued between $2 and $940 depending on condition.

LEGO 078-1 Roadway Base Plate is a Samsonite Supplemental set released in 1970, containing 1 piece. It includes a green 50x50-stud baseplate printed with a roadway featuring a 3-way curve. The set was sold exclusively in the United States under the Samsonite license. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $2 within the next year.
Roadway Base Plate (078-1) 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 $1.99 may be much lower than its true market value. Released in 1970, sealed sets in good condition are especially difficult to find, often commanding a premium well above estimates.
There are currently no new/sealed listings available for Roadway Base Plate at this time.
