Set Value (New/Sealed)

This represents the current new/sealed value of the set Basic Cannister Set since January 1997. Medium accuracy

LEGO 2252 Basic Cannister Set was a 36 piece Duplo set with 1 Duplo figure released in 1997. It consists of blue, green, red, and yellow Duplo bricks in varying sizes, including 2x2, 2x4, and a green 8x8. It also features a yellow car base with an open hitch end and red wheels.

Basic Cannister Set (set 2252-1) is an extremely old and rare LEGO set. It has not been seen for sale online or in retail stores in good/new condition in over 2 years. Due to its rarity, the current estimated value of $43.88 may be much lower than its true value, assuming it can be found for sale. As this set was released in 1997, finding it sealed and in good condition is particularly challenging, likely driving its true value even higher.

There are currently no new/sealed listings available for Basic Cannister Set at this time.

About Duplo

The LEGO DUPLO theme was introduced as far back as 1969 and is designed for children ages 1 to 5. It features DUPLO figures which are much larger than minifigures and DUPLO blocks which are about twice the length, width, and height of a standard System brick. Like LEGO System, DUPLO also has subthemes that are often junior versions of System themes, like Pirates and Castle and licensed themes like Disney and Super Heros.
