Set Value (New/Sealed)

This represents the current new/sealed value of the set Shell Tanker since January 1973. Medium accuracy
LEGO 688 Shell Tanker was a 63 piece LEGOLAND set released in 1973. It is also called "Tank Truck" and branded by Shell. It consists of a double trailer tanker truck.
Shell Tanker is an extremely old and very rare LEGO set. We have not seen set 688-1 currently for sale online or in the hundreds of retail stores in good/new condition in over 2,655 days. Because of the rarity of this hard to find set the current estimated value of $135.33 might actually be much lower than the true value, assuming this set can be found for sale.Because Shell Tanker 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.

Compact, beautiful Tanker — “Considering the available parts at the time, this set is very nicely built and realistic looking. It is playable and very sturdy. There are lots of Shell-branded bricks (two 1x2 and four 1x6), as well as a Legoland 1x4 and a headlights brick 1x4.”

About LEGOLAND

The LEGO LEGOLAND theme, introduced in the 1970s and continuing into the 1980s, comprised sets that replicated everyday scenes, vehicles, and buildings in a more simplistic style than later themes. These sets, pre-dating the minifigure era, were designed to represent various aspects of life, from towns to vehicles to castles. The LEGOLAND theme was foundational in the evolution of LEGO, bridging the gap between basic brick building and the more themed, narrative-driven sets that would become standard in subsequent years.
