LEGO 42113 Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey is a Technic set currently valued at $1,921 for new and sealed sets. Annual appreciation has averaged 25.10% since release. Used copies are valued between $763 and $1,774 depending on condition. Momentum for the set is building, helped by a value on the rise, together with growth ahead of similar sets.
LEGO 42113 Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey was a 1,636-piece Technic set planned for release in 2020. Developed under license from Bell and Boeing, the model featured working tiltrotors, motorized landing gear, and a winch, showcasing the unique engineering of the real-world aircraft.
Just days before its scheduled August launch, LEGO announced the set’s cancellation, following criticism that the V-22 is primarily a military aircraft, something the company has traditionally avoided. By the time of the decision, however, production was complete and sets had already been shipped, meaning that some copies were accidentally sold at retail and distributed to reviewers before being recalled.
Most of the production run was destroyed, but a small number of sets, estimated in the hundreds, made it into private hands, making 42113 one of the rarest and most controversial modern Technic sets.
According to LEGO Group's official statement:
"The LEGO Technic Bell Boeing V-22 Osprey was designed to highlight the important role the aircraft plays in search and rescue efforts. While the set clearly depicts how a rescue version of the plane might look, the aircraft is only used by the military. We have a long-standing policy not to create sets which feature real military vehicles, so it has been decided not to proceed with the launch of this product."
At around $1,921 for a sealed copy, Bell-Boeing V-22 Osprey has averaged 25.1% a year since retirement. Our forecast sees it reaching about $2,148 within five years. The average used price is $1,594 for those in good overall condition. New and sealed listings currently range from $1,900 to $2,000.
