Set Value (New/Sealed)

This chart represents the current new/sealed value of the set Three 8s since January 2016. Medium accuracy

LEGO 3888 Three 8s was a 182 piece Freestyle set released in 1998. It consists of a variety of bricks in black, blue, green, red, white, and yellow, including sizes from 2x2 to 4x12, curved slopes, decorated bricks, and a propeller. Additionally, there are plant parts, a door with frame, windows, and a windscreen. The set includes wheels with tires, a fence, and decorated elements like frog and apple patterns. It was also called "Three Eights".

The current value for a new and sealed Three 8s is estimated at $34, with an average annual growth of approximately 3%. Current used prices for Three 8s range from $27 to $46, depending on the set's condition, with an average price of $28 for those in good overall condition.

Three 8s (set 3888-1) is an extremely old and rare LEGO set. It has not been seen for sale online or in retail stores in good/new condition in over 2 years. Due to its rarity, the current estimated value of $34.28 may be much lower than its true value, assuming it can be found for sale. As this set was released in 1998, finding it sealed and in good condition is particularly challenging, likely driving its true value even higher.

There are currently no new/sealed listings available for Three 8s at this time.
