LEGO 375-1 Deluxe Basic Set is a Samsonite Basic Set released in 1966, containing 375 pieces. Manufactured by Samsonite for the United States and Canada, it was also referred to as No. 375 Basic Set. The assortment includes bricks in black, blue, red, white, yellow, and trans-clear in common sizes, early baseplates with “+” cross support, and functional parts such as small smooth tires, red wheels with metal axles, and modified 2x4 wheel-holder bricks with trans-clear bottoms. Additional elements include round 1x1 and 2x2 macaroni bricks, assorted slopes, a hinged door with trans-clear glass, and a nylon two-plate hinge coupling. Samsonite catalog materials highlighted build ideas such as towers, wheeled toys, and mosaics. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $539 within the next year.
Deluxe Basic Set (375-1) 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 $506.35 may understate its true worth, assuming one can even be found for sale. Since this set was released in 1966, finding it sealed and well-preserved is exceptionally difficult—making complete sets with intact boxes museum-grade collectibles.

“This LEGO set stands out as a unique release from 1966, produced by Samsonite under license for the American market. The bricks are crafted from the same ABS plastic but feature subtle differences, including a distinct stud logo, making it a noteworthy addition for those interested in LEGO's history.”
 

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 $3,485.
