LEGO 3073 Kana Booster is a Space/Insectoids set released in 1999, containing 21 pieces and 1 minifigure. The set builds a small insect-inspired flying jet with twin side-mounted turbines and includes the Gypsy Moth minifigure as its pilot. It was issued as a polybag release, and an identical version was also distributed in Japan as a boxed promotional set packaged with Kabaya sweets.

A new and sealed Kana Booster is currently valued at around $43, with annual growth of about 10.4% that is expected to level off to around 7.8% in the coming year, making it a solid investment. The average used price is $5 for those in good overall condition. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $46 within the next year. The 1 included minifig account for approximately 61% of the set's total value.
Kana Booster (3073-1) 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 $43.29 may be much lower than its true market value. Released in 1999, sealed sets in good condition are especially difficult to find, often commanding a premium well above estimates.
There are currently no new/sealed listings available for Kana Booster at this time.

The "Kana Booster" — “This is another small set of the insectoids theme, and is also a promotional, released in the year of 1999. This set was only released with the kabaya sweets, it is so much rare now, and was rare when released, too. As a promotional, this set is just small, because the... More promotional sets must be small, or these will make the product expensive. So, it must be compared with promotional sets.”

About Space Insectoids

Insectoids was a LEGO Space subtheme released in 1998 that consisted of 17 sets. The Insectoids story line was based on the cybernetic Zotaxians and their droids who fled their home planet of Zotax after a war with their leader. During the escape they crash landed on the massive planet Holox, but the planet was too hostile on the surface for survival so they tunneled underground and built cities. The Zotaxians owned vehicles called Insectoids that were insect-like in appearance and were desigend to escape the underground insects.

Insectoids consists of 17 sets that ran from 1998 to 1999. As of today, 6977 Arachnoid Star Base is the most valuable Insectoids set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $444.
