Set Value (New/Sealed)

This data represents the current estimated value of the set 12 V Transformer since February 2013. Medium/lowaccuracy
LEGO 741 12 V Transformer was a Trains set released in 1974. The current value for a new, factory sealed 12 V Transformer is estimated around $56. On the open market, a used set will fetch in the range of between $6 and $12 depending on the condition.
12 V Transformer is an extremely old and very rare LEGO set. We have not seen set 741-1 currently for sale online or in the hundreds of retail stores in good/new condition in over 775 days. Because of the rarity of this hard to find set the current estimated value of $55.89 might actually be much lower than the true value assuming this set can be found for sale.Because 12 V Transformer is a very old set from 1974, finding it in a sealed and good condition might be difficult thus making the true value even that much higher.

“The Lego 741 12v Transformer is the control for the new Lego 12 volt line. Much like the 742: 12v Transformer for 100V Mains, this one is for the normal power outlet. The 742 was made especially for electrical outputs that generate 100 volts of electricity. In the US the... More average voltage in an outlet is 110 – 120 volts.”

About Trains 4.5V / 12V

In 1972 LEGO released the 4.5V and 12V train sets as part of the Blue Era which was named because of the rail color. These train sets used additional conductor rails mounted between the standard 4.5V rails and 12V motors contained in the same housings as the 4.5V motors, but with additional metal contacts attached to the bottom of the housings.

4.5V / 12V consists of 83 sets that ran from 1972 to 1986. As of today, 7750 Steam Engine with Tender is the most valuable 4.5V / 12V set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $5,972.
