LEGO 801-3 Space Rocket is a Samsonite Basic Set released in 1964, containing 115 pieces. It is recognized as the first space-themed LEGO set, produced by Samsonite for the United States and Canadian markets. The build depicts a stylized rocket assembled from basic bricks and slopes, including early element variants such as 2x2 round-corner macaroni bricks and 45-degree slopes. The set was sold on a cardboard-backed blister card rather than in a box. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $172 within the next year.
Space Rocket (801-3) 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 $159.31 may understate its true worth, assuming one can even be found for sale. Since this set was released in 1964, 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 Space Rocket at this time.
