Insights

Released as a regional cereal promotional during the classic Town era, Dragster (set 1898) draws steady interest from classic Town collectors because of its post-retirement scarcity, and its very small, non-unique build and standard minifigure limit differentiation and increase upside volatility.

Set Facts

In the United Kingdom, this was a promotional release between LEGO together with Weetabix cereals.
