LEGO 229-1 6x8 & 2x8 Plates is a System i Leg Supplemental set released in 1958, containing 8 pieces. The pack includes white 2x8 and 6x8 plates, typically featuring the late-1950s “waffle-bottom” underside. It was distributed in Europe, the United Kingdom, and Australia as an early System-era parts accessory. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $93 within the next year.

6x8 & 2x8 Plates is an incredibly rare set. Set 229-1 has not been available for sale online or in retail stores in new/good condition for over one year. Boxes in well-preserved condition are considered museum-grade collectibles, representing the very origins of LEGO. Its true market value is likely higher than the current estimate. The last brand new 6x8 & 2x8 Plates was sold on eBay.

About System i Leg Supplemental

Starting in the 1950s LEGO began individual parts sales, a practice that began with the Ferguson Tracktor in 1951. LEGO would supply dealers with wooden parts boxes and refill packs. These individual part sales would continue, at least in some markets, into the late 1950’s.

Supplemental consists of 68 sets that ran from 1955 to 1959. As of today, 214-4 Windows and Doors Retailer Pack is the most valuable Supplemental set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $808.
