Set Value (New/Sealed)

This represents the current new/sealed value of the set Ambassador Set since January 1967. Medium accuracy
LEGO 080-2 Ambassador Set was a 560 piece Samsonite set released in 1967. It was only available in the United States and was sold exclusively for Fao Schwarz stores. It was a small, brick-built hand-pushed train.
Ambassador Set is an extremely old and very rare LEGO set. We have not seen set 080-2 currently for sale online or in the hundreds of retail stores in good/new condition in over 1,928 days. Because of the rarity of this hard to find set the current estimated value of $3,147.04 might actually be much lower than the true value, assuming this set can be found for sale.Because Ambassador Set is a very old set from 1967, finding it in a sealed and good condition might be difficult thus making the true value even that much higher.
