Set Value (New/Sealed)

This represents the current new/sealed value of the set Ambulance and Helicopter since January 1973. Medium accuracy
LEGO 653 Ambulance and Helicopter was a 37 piece LEGOLAND set released in 1973. It contains both a medial helicopter and an ambulance. It is the Europe, the United Kingdom, Australia, and Canada version of the set and is the same as set 460 Rescue Units which was released in the United States.

The current value for a new and sealed Ambulance and Helicopter is estimated at $116 with an average yearly gain of about 9% which is higher than other Vehicle sets. On the open market, a used set will fetch in the range of between $6 and $23 depending on the condition.
Ambulance and Helicopter is an extremely old and very rare LEGO set. We have not seen set 653-1 currently for sale online or in the hundreds of retail stores in good/new condition in over 1,211 days. Because of the rarity of this hard to find set the current estimated value of $115.71 might actually be much lower than the true value, assuming this set can be found for sale.Because Ambulance and Helicopter is a very old set from 1973, finding it in a sealed and good condition might be difficult thus making the true value even that much higher.

About LEGOLAND Vehicle

The LEGOLAND Vehicle theme is a subset of the broader LEGOLAND line from the 1970s and 1980s. This specific theme concentrated on various vehicles, from cars and trucks to boats and airplanes. Using a more simplistic design approach characteristic of that era, the sets aimed to recreate everyday transportation modes.

Vehicle consists of 47 sets that ran from 1970 to 1977. As of today, 611 Police Car is the most valuable Vehicle set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $695.
Summary
LEGOLAND Vehicle Ambulance and Helicopter set 653 was released in January 1973, retailing for $1, but has since been retired. New, unopened Ambulance and Helicopter sets are valued at $116, while used sets can be found for $7 in good condition.
