Set Value (New/Sealed)

This represents the current new/sealed value of the set USS Constellation since September 1978. Medium accuracy
LEGO 398 USS Constellation was a 973 piece Hobby Set set released in 1978. It was released only in Continental Europe, UK and Australia. The current value for a new and sealed USS Constellation is estimated at $1,598 with an average yearly gain of about 9% which is higher than other Hobby Set sets. On the open market, a used set will fetch in the range of between $169 and $386 depending on the condition.
USS Constellation is an extremely old and very rare LEGO set. We have not seen set 398-1 currently for sale online or in the hundreds of retail stores in good/new condition in over 810 days. Because of the rarity of this hard to find set the current estimated value of $1,598.20 might actually be much lower than the true value, assuming this set can be found for sale.Because USS Constellation is a very old set from 1978, finding it in a sealed and good condition might be difficult thus making the true value even that much higher.

“Overall it was pretty detailed construction, especially considering there were not many 'custom' bits and made primarily of the standard Lego bricks. Overall it was pretty detailed construction, especially considering there were not many 'custom' bits and made primarily of... More the standard Lego bricks. This is a prized possession and well worth the time spent to build it. Not really something to play with bit something to put on display.”

“This ship’s known history changed between 1978 (Lego’s first edition of this set) and the 2003 reissue of this set. Back in 1978 it was thought the now still preserved museum ship was the original 1797 build ship, that underwent a thorough rebuild in 1854. But by the time... More the 2003 set came out, it was decided the 1854 rebuild was actually a completely new ship, with perhaps a few timbers used from the first ship.”
