Set Value (New/Sealed)

This represents the current new/sealed value of the set Racer since January 1998. Medium accuracy
LEGO 8219 Racer was a 103 piece Technic set released in 1998. It was a Tech Play starter set. The current value for a new and sealed Racer is estimated at $73 with an average yearly gain of about 8%. The current used prices for Racer can be found in the range of $14 and $27 depending on the set's condition, with an average price of $22 if it is in good overall condition.
Racer is an extremely old and very rare LEGO set. We have not seen set 8219-1 currently for sale online or in the hundreds of retail stores in good/new condition in over 1,396 days. Because of the rarity of this hard to find set the current estimated value of $73.40 might actually be much lower than the true value, assuming this set can be found for sale.

Is this LEGO set a good investment?
“For an older Technic set, Racer stands out by consistently outperforming many of the theme's sets with a high annual return of over 8.4%, making it a good future investment. For early collectors the set has proven to be a solid investment with a growth just over 716%.”
Review brought to you by BrickEconomy Bot

“This is definitely one of the better efforts from that year… At 103 pieces it's still small and cheap, it looks good and, despite using the same steering rack piece as its predecessor, it feels sturdier thanks to a little extra support. Its longish wheelbase, slow steering... More and soft, grippy tyres curtail the oversteer fun somewhat, but it'll do it on a smooth surface. Its engine runs at 3x wheel speed and provides a chattery soundtrack.”

“he 8219 go kart, released in 1998, is quite an accurate representation of a real go kart. The wheel base is almost square, and the tires are wide and smooth. The center of gravity is low, and a single cylinder engine is rear mounted to a solid drive axle with a tune pipe... More for exhaust. It even has a single rear brake disc. The steering uses the flexible rack assembly. Although the model is scaled for a Technic figure, the set does not come with one.”

About Technic

TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.
