Caterpillar and Friends (2097-1) is a very old and rare LEGO set. It has not been available online or in retail stores in good/new condition for over 2 years. Because of its scarcity, the current estimated value of in new condition of $50.06 may be much lower than its true market value. Released in 1997, sealed sets in good condition are especially difficult to find, often commanding a premium well above estimates.

“This adorable caterpillar carries on her back her two best friends: the bee and the ladybug. Of the two small insects are rattles that will tinkle cheerfully to the sound of maracas. When the caterpillar's body is pressed, it flattens and moves up again. From 9 months, your... More child will play with on his stomach and the caterpillar that moves away from him will encourage him to walk on all fours.”

“The large buttons at the top of the rattles on which are represented the smiling faces of insects, allow easy grip to small hands and your child will develop his fine motor skills by placing them on the back of the caterpillar.”
