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 (set 080-2) is an extremely old and rare LEGO set. It has not been seen for sale online or in retail stores in good/new condition in over 2 years. Due to its rarity, the current estimated value of $3,262.39 may be much lower than its true value, assuming it can be found for sale. As this set was released in 1967, finding it sealed and in good condition is particularly challenging, likely driving its true value even higher.
There are currently no new/sealed listings available for Ambassador Set at this time.
