Set Value (New/Sealed)

This chart represents the current new/sealed value of the set Taj Mahal since May 2020. Very high accuracy
LEGO 10189 Taj Mahal was a 5,922 piece Advanced Models set released in 2008. It used to be the highest fetching LEGO on the secondary market for many years. However, the re-release of Taj Mahal 10256-1 completely devalued the set for a time period in which we saw prices got from over $2-3K to less than $500 USD. Currently, 10189 has rebounded quite a bit and has gained back its original momentum after the second release of Taj Mahal was retired.

It was retired in November 2010 with a lifespan of 27 months. Today's value for a new, sealed Taj Mahal is estimated around $999, with an average yearly gain of 5.8%, expected to level off to around 2.2% in the coming year. On secondary markets, the typical price range for the set MISB/NISB is between $800 and $1,166. On the open market, a used set will sell in the range of $330 and $422, depending on its condition.

“The set is pretty big once its fully connected and is extremely detailed all around. The towers on the four corners of the base are a little wobbly, but the rest of the set is stable. The dome on top uses sphere-building techniques that many professionals use in creating... More lego land models.”

“It is based upon the white marble structure that was built at Agra, India during 1632 through 1653. The set is only meant for display and not for everyday play considering its very large size and elegant features.”
