Insights

Released long-retired in the Explore theme and tied to the Being Me subtheme, Take Along Friend (5424) appeals mainly to preschool-era specialists, and sealed copies show post-retirement strength while market depth remains thin and overlap with an earlier counterpart limits wider collector interest.

About Explore Being Me

Being Me was the baby part of LEGO Explore, the name LEGO gave its toys for the youngest children in 2002 and 2003, when it brought DUPLO, Primo and Baby together under one brand. It held rattles, teethers, cot toys and soft first toys, along with early stacking and sorting toys and small rolling vehicles. The single brand did not last, and in 2004 the DUPLO name came back.

Being Me consists of 26 sets that ran from 2002 to 2003. As of today, 5425 Soft Stacking Hen is the most valuable Being Me set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $101.
