The 702-2 LEGO Samsonite Small Basic Set is a classic release from LEGO’s early days in North America in 1961, distributed by Samsonite. This set provided a selection of basic bricks, making it ideal for simple building projects. Its compact size and historical connection to LEGO's expansion into the U.S. and Canada make it a memorable part of LEGO's history. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $468 within the next year.
Small Basic Set (702-2) is an exceptionally old and rare LEGO set. It has not been available online or in retail stores in good/new condition for over 2 years. Due to its rarity, the estimated value in sealed condition of $433.30 may understate its true worth, assuming one can even be found for sale. Since this set was released in 1961, finding it sealed and well-preserved is exceptionally difficult—making complete sets with intact boxes museum-grade collectibles.
There are currently no new/sealed listings available for Small Basic Set at this time.
