Insights

NotForRetail, team-distributed during the 2021 FIRST LEGO League season, Cargo Connect Explore Set is scarce from its short, single-season run and appeals chiefly to FLL alumni and education collectors, and its niche demand and lack of exclusive characters limit broad secondary-market momentum.

Set Facts

The FIRST LEGO League is the largest STEM competition in the world with students from over 100 countries taking part to see who takes home the grand prize.
Unlike other LEGO Education sets, these are only available to participants of the FIRST LEGO League competitions.
The Explore division will work with WeDo 2.0 kits and the Challenge division will work with the SPIKE Prime kits to solve real-world problems with creative thinking..

“It’s a process the LEGO Group is no doubt incredibly familiar with thanks to their multiple worldwide facilities producing the plastic bricks. The ‘discover’ part of the FIRST LEGO League is aimed towards younger competitors and as such, a DUPLO set has been produced with a... More similar model in mind.”

About Exclusive FIRST LEGO League

FIRST LEGO League is a program that engages children in playful and meaningful learning while helping them discover the fun in science and technology through the FIRST experience. FIRST was a collaboration between Dean Kamen and The LEGO Group’s Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen and the LEGO Group first produced sets within the FIRST LEGO League in 2001. Each year FIRST LEGO League introduces a scientific and real-world challenge for teams to focus and research on. participants work out a solution to a problem related to the theme and then meet for regional, national and international tournaments to compete, share their knowledge, compare ideas, and display their robots.

FIRST LEGO League consists of 25 sets that ran from 2001 to 2024. As of today, 9697 FIRST LEGO League Challenge 2011 Food Factor is the most valuable FIRST LEGO League set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $433.

In CARGO CONNECTSM teams will re-imagine our global transportation system and explore ways of improving how we access and deliver needed and desired goods, making all communities more connected.

This year, FIRST teams will address today’s global challenges related to United Nations Sustainable Development Goal?#9, focused on building resilient infrastructure, promoting inclusive and sustainable industrialization, and fostering innovation. By encouraging FIRST participants to think about future transportation sustainability, we’re also empowering them to be the next generation of leaders and innovators, tackling the world’s toughest challenges.
