LEGO 450-2 Deluxe Building Set, also known as No. 450 Basic Set, is a Samsonite Basic Set released in 1963 with 450 pieces. Manufactured by Samsonite, it was sold only in the United States and Canada during the period when LEGO products in those markets were produced under license. The set is a general-purpose assortment of early basic bricks, plates, wheels, tires, hinge parts, and a large baseplate in black, blue, red, light gray, and white. Samsonite catalog text notes that it included enough wheels and parts to build a 10-wheel engine, along with pieces for a variety of larger models. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $493 within the next year.
Deluxe Building Set (450-2) 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 $466.35 may understate its true worth, assuming one can even be found for sale. Since this set was released in 1963, finding it sealed and well-preserved is exceptionally difficult—making complete sets with intact boxes museum-grade collectibles.
There are currently no new/sealed listings available for 450-2 Deluxe Building Set at this time.
