Designer Set (536-2) is a very old and rare LEGO set. It has not been available online or in retail stores in good/new condition for over 2 years. Because of its scarcity, the current estimated value of in new condition of $452.29 may be much lower than its true market value. Released in 1967, sealed sets in good condition are especially difficult to find, often commanding a premium well above estimates.
