Set Value (New/Sealed)

This chart represents the current new/sealed value of the set Big Ben since November 2018. Very high accuracy
This model of the iconic London landmark is quite impressive, standing at over 23 inches (60 cm) tall and containing 4163 pieces. It is a certain that the launch of Big Ben signals the retirement of one of the existing landmark sets because there is limited shelf space, and slots in the product lineup, so naturally something will have to be discontinued to make room for the Big Ben. Big Ben is a Creator Expert set released on June 15, 2016 for VIP members and July 1 as a general release. It was designed by Jamie Berard. A smaller-scaled Architecture model of Big Ben (21013) was released in 2012.

A new and sealed Big Ben is currently valued at around $458, with annual growth of approximately 4%, which is lower than other Buildings sets. The average used price is $261 for those in good overall condition. New and sealed listings currently range from $411 to $572. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $488 within the next year. The set was available for 28 months, from July 2016 to November 2018.

“This is an incredible model. 10253 Big Ben looks spectacular from most angles and the level of detail represented by intricate assemblies on the exterior is unmatched. Furthermore, the numerous tiny statues are authentic and the arrangement of the windows is an almost exact... More replica of the real building.”

“The Big Ben towers over all other LEGO models at 23” (60cm) high and features a detailed facade built using LEGO statues, shields and windows. The clock tower sports 4 adjustable clock dials and even a removable roof, allowing access to the belfry.”

Get up close to Big Ben! The clock was first started on May 31st 1859, and Big Ben’s first chime rang from the 96-meter Elizabeth Tower on July 11th of the same year. This over 23” (60cm) high LEGO® interpretation of the iconic structure is a tribute to its engineering and architecture. It features a detailed facade with statues, shields and windows, and a clock tower with 4 adjustable clock dials and a removable roof allowing access to the belfry, plus buildable exterior elements including a sidewalk, lawn and a tree depicting the building’s location. This model makes a great display piece for the home or office. The building is over 23” high, 7” deep and 17” wide. Includes Elizabeth Tower, Palace of Westminster, sidewalk, lawn and tree.
