Super Car Value (New/Sealed)

This chart represents the current new/sealed value of the set Super Car since November 2016. Very high accuracy
LEGO 8070 Super Car is a Technic set released in 2011 with 1281 pieces. It builds a supercar equipped with LEGO Power Functions, including Medium Motor 8883 and Battery Box 8881, to power opening scissor doors, an extending rear spoiler, and a motorized hood revealing a V8 engine with moving pistons. Additional mechanical features include gear wheel steering and suspension. An alternate build assembles a red-and-black Hot Rod.

Super Car has climbed about 6.0% a year since retirement and is worth around $269 sealed. If the forecast is right, it keeps going, to about $300 in five years. The average used price is $115 for those in good overall condition. New and sealed listings currently range from $272 to $374. While long-term growth remains positive, recent trends indicate the rate of appreciation is slowing. The set was available for 20 months, from March 2011 to November 2012.
Collector and Investor Standing
Collectors see a Technic showpiece in the Super Car, while investors see a theme with a slow growth record. Its powered scissor doors, rising rear spoiler and hood that opens onto a working engine give builders plenty to fuss over, and the Hot Rod rebuild adds another challenge.

“If you compare this to more modern sets, like 42056 or 42039, it becomes instantly clear that you're getting a lot in this set in terms of functions and looks. It may or may not be the best LEGO supercar ever released, but it's indisputable that you're getting a pretty sweet... More deal when you factor in the price. Maybe LEGO put a few too many holes in the aesthetics, maybe the rear could have been better executed, but overall I don't have a lot of complaints on this one.”

“There's no doubt that I have to recommend this model. It easily holds its own amongst the older cars, losing out only because it does not yet trigger any nostalgia. At the USA price, it is a great deal even for parts. Buy it.”
