LEGO 752 Hobby and Model Box is a vintage Classic set from 1963 valued at $2,025 for new and sealed sets, up 17509% from an original retail price of $11.50. Annual appreciation has averaged 8.56% since release. Used copies are valued between $9 and $1,871 depending on condition.
The LEGO 752 Hobby and Model Box was released in 1963 as part of the early LEGO Architecture or Hobby & Model series, a specialized range designed for architectural and scale model enthusiasts. Containing approximately 1,786 elements, the set included a wide assortment of standard bricks, windows, doors, roof elements, and transparent pieces, all intended for constructing intricate and realistic architectural structures.
Hobby and Model Boxes were conceived as creative design kits—tools for hobbyists, students, and professional model builders interested in exploring architectural form and structure. The set also included instructional materials and design aids, such as printed graph paper scaled to LEGO’s module system and a cardboard ruler marked with multiple architectural scales (1:25, 1:50, 1:100, and 1:200).
The 752 set represented the largest and most comprehensive of the Hobby and Model range, following sets 750 and 751, which offered smaller assortments of similar elements. Together, these sets marked LEGO’s first deliberate venture into educational and architectural modeling, foreshadowing later series such as the LEGO Architecture line introduced decades later. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $2,185 within the next year.
Hobby and Model Box has become a rare vintage set, as set 752-1 has not been seen for sale in new/good condition online or in retail for over one year. Its actual value is likely above the current estimate.
