Ferris Wheel Value (New/Sealed)

This chart represents the current new/sealed value of the set Ferris Wheel since December 2018. Very high accuracy
The 10247 Ferris Wheel is an Expert Creator set designed by master LEGO modular designer Jamie Berard and stands at an incredible 60cm tall . The Ferris Wheel contains a properly bound single instruction booklet. It also makes use of the new system of highlighting parts to be placed in steps where it might not be so obvious. It includes a total of 10 unique LEGO City minifigures which are exclusive to this set. The main Ferris Wheel is driven by two small wheels with rubber tires which provide friction against the outer ring of the big wheel. There are two main functions with this set, the central platform under the wheel can move up and down and the main wheel can be turned manually via the crank handle at the back of the set or the completed model can be optionally motorized with Power Functions. A standout feature of the Fairground Mixer was its use of glow in the dark parts.

Ferris Wheel has gained about 7.8% a year since it left store shelves, and a sealed copy now sits near $360. We forecast roughly 7% more over the next year. The average used price is $221 for those in good overall condition. New and sealed listings currently range from $349 to $427. Recent market trends show a period of price correction, with values declining over the past year. The set was available for 42 months, from June 2015 to December 2018.

“The Ferris wheel has 12 cabins with working doors. There's also a ramp and boarding platform that can be raised and lowered by a lever attached to the base. The wheel itself spins using a crank that is built out of LEGO pieces.”

True North Bricks
“This is one of my favorite LEGO sets. It is phenomenally designed, it gives you tons of build time, and it is a great value. I wish the Minifigs were not quite so generic, but they are good for populating my city. I highly recommend this set!”

Slowly turn the crank and watch as the Ferris Wheel gracefully lowers the colorful gondolas into position for boarding. Raise the boarding platform with a simple pull of the lever, open the gondola door and help the passengers aboard!
