Set Value (New/Sealed)

This represents the current new/sealed value of the set Medium Basic Set since January 1966. Medium accuracy

LEGO 285 Medium Basic Set was a 285 piece Samsonite set released in 1966. It was also called No. 285 Basic Set.

Medium Basic Set is an extremely old and very rare LEGO set. We have not seen set 285-1 currently for sale online or in the hundreds of retail stores in good/new condition in over 1,824 days. Because of the rarity of this hard to find set the current estimated value of $330.72 might actually be much lower than the true value assuming this set can be found for sale.Because Medium Basic Set is a very old set from 1966, finding it in a sealed and good condition might be difficult thus making the true value even that much higher.

About Samsonite Basic Set

Samsonite was an American manufacturer of LEGO sets which introduced the very first USA LEGO catalog for Christmas of 1961. LEGO and Samsonite created a partnership to produce and sell LEGO in the US. The result was a 9-year license for exclusive North American distribution rights. Samsonite began marketing sets under the name LEGO by Samsonite in the US in 1961 and Canada in 1962.

Basic Set consists of 82 sets that ran from 1961 to 1975. As of today, 080-2 Ambassador Set is the most valuable Basic Set set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $2,966.

Basic set containing 285 pieces is enough to construct a four story house, even a truck with a trailer.
