10247 LEGO Ferris Wheel

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.

It was retired in December 2018 with a lifespan of 42 months. The current value for a new and sealed Ferris Wheel is estimated at $393 with an average yearly gain of about 17% which is higher than other Fairground sets. On the secondary markets, the typical price range for the set MISB/NISB is between $384 and $450. The current used prices for Ferris Wheel can be found in the range of $280 and $361 depending on the set's condition, with an average price of $300 if it is in good overall condition.
