Volkswagen Beetle Value (New/Sealed)

This chart represents the current new/sealed value of the set Volkswagen Beetle since December 2020. Very high accuracy

Lego’s new Volkswagen Beetle had it's designers have worked hard to perfectly recreate the curves and contours of the car that help defined the ‘60s, even introducing new pieces to help replicate the Beetle’s iconic bulging fenders. Built from 1,167-pieces, isn’t just about accurately recreating the VW Beetle’s graceful lines, though. Lego’s designers have also included a tiny recreation of the car’s four-cylinder air-cooled engine, plus beige-colored tilting seats inside, opening doors, trunk, and hood, a hidden spare tire, multiple license plate options, and the Beetle’s highly-recognizable round headlights and hubcaps.

At around $183 for a sealed copy, Volkswagen Beetle has averaged 10.7% a year since retirement. Our forecast sees it reaching about $246 within five years. The average used price is $91 for those in good overall condition. New and sealed listings currently range from $179 to $200. The set was available for 52 months, from August 2016 to December 2020.

“LEGO 10252 Volkswagen Beetle is just satisfyingly perfect, and it has everything that you could possibly want from a Creator Expert set. If you haven't previously considered this set, I would strongly recommend picking it up as it's just an absolutely brilliant and... More exhaustive LEGO build.”

Brickset

“If ever these was a perfect LEGO set then this is it. It is a very interesting build that uses all manner of techniques to render the characteristic shape of the Beetle, which is no mean feat given its curvy body. The finished model is a joy to behold and perfect for showing... More off: not so big that it's unwieldy and difficult to display, but large enough to be packed with authentic details. The use of dark azure, a relatively new and rare colour, is the icing on the cake.”
