LEGO 358 Rocket Base is a LEGOLAND set released in 1973, containing 276 pieces and no minifigures. The set depicts a mid-century style launch facility with a rocket, a service/launch tower, a small control building, and support vehicles. It was distributed in the UK and European markets only and is documented as LEGO’s first space-themed set, predating the launch of the Classic Space line in 1978. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $1,699 within the next year.
Rocket Base (358-1) 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 $1,575.39 may be much lower than its true market value. Released in 1973, sealed sets in good condition are especially difficult to find, often commanding a premium well above estimates.

“This is in my opinion a historical set, the first ever Space set Lego brought out for retail. So the predecessor of a great theme like Space. The set shows a small command centre, a launching base with probably an Apollo rocket and the fueling installation. Also present a... More small car to take the astronauts to the Rocket. All very basic but very recognizable which is the strenght of sets like this.”

BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The set stands out for its ahead-of-its-time features, including a multifunctional rocket, ground support vehicle, and a unique gantry system with rail tracks, emphasizing its design complexity and rarity due to distinctive pieces like the large red baseplate, a variety of macaroni pieces, and specialized transparent plates. These elements enhance its collectibility and potential value for discerning collectors and investors.”
BrickEconomy Expert Review
“The LEGO 358 LEGOLAND Rocket Base is a classic set released under the LEGOLAND Space theme in 1973. It includes 276 pieces and was designed by Jens Nygaard Knudsen. This set features a rocket launch base theme, reflecting the space exploration excitement of that era. The set was initially retailed for £2.95 in the UK and was made available in April 1973. Over time, it has become a collector's item, with its value significantly increasing due to its age and rarity.”
 

About LEGOLAND

The LEGO LEGOLAND theme, introduced in the 1970s and continuing into the 1980s, comprised sets that replicated everyday scenes, vehicles, and buildings in a more simplistic style than later themes. These sets, pre-dating the minifigure era, were designed to represent various aspects of life, from towns to vehicles to castles. The LEGOLAND theme was foundational in the evolution of LEGO, bridging the gap between basic brick building and the more themed, narrative-driven sets that would become standard in subsequent years.
Summary
LEGOLAND Rocket Base set 358 was released in April 1973, retailing for $20, but has since been retired. New, unopened Rocket Base sets are valued at $1,575, while used sets can be found for $112.
