LEGO 705-3 Medium Basic Set is a Samsonite Basic Set released in 1963. Distributed in the United States and Canada, it was a general-purpose building set produced by Samsonite during the early North American licensing period. The set included an assortment of basic bricks in different sizes and colors for open-ended construction rather than a specific model. This version is the tall box variant of set 705 and was also known as Medium Basic Set (tall box). Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $373 within the next year.
Medium Basic Set (705-3) 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 $350.07 may understate its true worth, assuming one can even be found for sale. Since this set was released in 1963, 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 Medium Basic Set at this time.
