United States Capitol Building Value (New/Sealed)

This chart represents the current new/sealed value of the set United States Capitol Building since November 2019. Very high accuracy
The United States Capitol Building set was announced at the Nuremberg Toy Fair along with LEGO Architecture Buckingham Palace. The set's base is 56 studs wide and 14 studs deep, with the bulk of the model about 6 bricks tall, and the tallest portion is around 17 bricks tall. The final model only reaches 6 inches high including that tall dome and the building is 17 inches long. At the same time, builders should be impressed with the detail and realism that the designers were able to put into the build. One of the interesting elements to this build is the fact that there is also an interior. The tiled floor, columns and eight different statues provide a glimpse into the grandeur and inner workings of the building. This can be viewed by simply lifting off the dome structure.

Sealed copies of United States Capitol Building go for about $213 today. Since it retired, the set has grown roughly 11.5% a year, and our forecast puts it near $229 by this time next year. The average used price is $82 for those in good overall condition. New and sealed listings currently range from $210 to $265. The set was available for 38 months, from September 2016 to November 2019.
Collector and Investor Standing
Architecture's Landmark Series is built for display and collected as a series, and the Capitol makes its case with a removable dome revealing the rotunda. Collectors also had fewer stores stocking it than most sets. Investor interest looks just as firm, with many members owning or wanting this model and the theme's steady record behind it.

Collectors
Investors
“This building kit, which represents one of our nation's most important structures, makes for a wonderful display piece in your home or office. While a LEGO product, it's more of a collectible than a toy. Either way, it's still fun to put together and will give you a sense of... More accomplishment once completed. History buffs and patriots will appreciate the detail LEGO has put into the Capitol Building from the columns to the interior of the National Statutory Hall, an unexpected feature that shows how much craftsmanship went into it.”

The Brick Fan
“If you're a fan of the LEGO Architecture series, the United States Capitol Building is a fairly good addition. There are some exclusive pieces in the set that could be useful for MOCs. The building experience wasn't too challenging as the building techiques are simple but... More very repetitive in some places. Also if you have OCD, the steps that use the 1×1 tiles and cheese slopes may cause anxiety as you try to get them straight.”
