LEGO 326-1 Small Cottage is a Classic Building set released in 1965, containing 60 pieces. The set builds a small white house with a blue roof and red door and windows. It includes assorted white bricks for the walls, blue slopes in multiple sizes for the roof, and black plates for the base. We forecast about 6% growth next year, which would put it near $741.

Small Cottage (326-1) is an exceptionally old and rare LEGO set. It has not been available online or in retail stores in good/new condition for over 2 years. Due to its rarity, the estimated value in sealed condition of $701.56 may understate its true worth, assuming one can even be found for sale. Since this set was released in 1965, finding it sealed and well-preserved is exceptionally difficult—making complete sets with intact boxes museum-grade collectibles.
