Set Value (New/Sealed)

This represents the current new/sealed value of the set Command Center since January 1978. Medium accuracy

LEGO 493 Command Center was a 189 piece Space set with 4 minifigs released in 1978. This set was only available in the US and set 926 Command Centre was identical and sold everywhere else around the world.

The current value for a new and sealed Command Center is estimated around $1,475 today with current average yearly gain of about 10.5% but will level off in the next year closer to a 7.9% annual growth making it a solid investment. On the open market, a used set will fetch in the range of between $235 and $366 depending on the condition.

Command Center is a pretty rare set these days as we have not seen set 493-1 currently for sale online or in retail in new and good condition in over one year. The current value of this set might be slightly higher then what we have estimated at this time. The last brand new Command Center seen was sold on ebay.com.

Investors

“This is the large base for the fledgling LEGOLAND Space series. The main model is a blue box on stilts that serves as the command and control center for the astronauts. Numerous antennae and dishes line the roof. The interior is lined with computers. There are 6 at one... More station alone! The building sits on a special gray base plate that has a crater ridge running along two sides. A moon rover and a mobile computer station round out the set and fit under the an attached car port.”

“The first space base. The earliest versions shipped with a brick-built crater because the crater plates weren’t yet ready. Open floor plan, two ground vehicles, four astronauts, radar dishes, tv antennas, and lots of yellow windows all on an iconic crater plate.”
