The 1974 LEGO set 811-2 Gear Set was a basic educational set focused on teaching principles of mechanics and engineering. It contained various gears, axles, and connectors that allowed users to build functional gear mechanisms. This set was part of LEGO's effort to integrate STEM concepts into play. It consists of bricks, plates, and Technic elements in various colors, including black, red, blue, yellow, and trans-clear, with axles, gears, and a chain. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $9 within the next year.
Gear Set (811-2) is a very old and rare LEGO set. It has not been available online or in retail stores in good/new condition for over 2 years. Because of its scarcity, the current estimated value of in new condition of $8.99 may be much lower than its true market value. Released in 1974, sealed sets in good condition are especially difficult to find, often commanding a premium well above estimates.
