Sold under the “LEGO The Building Toy” branding, it is a parts pack focused on wheels and running gear, including red 4-stud wheels with metal axles and small smooth solid tires. The assortment features a milky white nylon hinge coupling made of two connected 2x2 plates, a modified 2x4 brick with wheel holders, and a 4x8 plate used as a base. Additional elements include a tow bar and components in light gray, black, white, and red consistent with mid-1960s LEGO parts.

Small Wheels with Axles has gained about 5.1% a year since it left store shelves, and a sealed copy now sits near $37. We forecast roughly 5% more over the next year. The average used price is $11 for those in good overall condition.

Small Wheels with Axles (400-3) 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 $36.71 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.

About Classic Supplemental

Supplemental sets are the parts packs of the 1960s, sold so that builders could add to a basic set the bits they needed most. They held windows and doors in frames, plates in several sizes, corner bricks, gates and fences, turntables, wheels with axles and train couplers. Many of these parts were new at the time, and the packs were often the first way to get them, like the wheels LEGO introduced in 1962.

Supplemental consists of 140 sets that ran from 1960 to 1971. As of today, 890-2 Lockable Storage Box is the most valuable Supplemental set with an estimated new/sealed value of $447.
