Set Value (New/Sealed)

This represents the current new/sealed value of the set Advanced Builders Set since January 1966. Medium accuracy
LEGO 835 Advanced Builders Set was a 565 piece Samsonite set released in 1966. It was an exclusive set to both FAO Schwarz and Sears in the United States.
Advanced Builders Set (set 835-1) is an extremely old and rare LEGO set. It has not been seen for sale online or in retail stores in good/new condition in over 2 years. Due to its rarity, the current estimated value of $645.56 may be much lower than its true value, assuming it can be found for sale. As this set was released in 1966, finding it sealed and in good condition is particularly challenging, likely driving its true value even higher.
There are currently no new/sealed listings available for Advanced Builders Set at this time.

About Samsonite Basic Set

Samsonite was an American manufacturer of LEGO sets which introduced the very first USA LEGO catalog for Christmas of 1961. LEGO and Samsonite created a partnership to produce and sell LEGO in the US. The result was a 9-year license for exclusive North American distribution rights. Samsonite began marketing sets under the name LEGO by Samsonite in the US in 1961 and Canada in 1962.

Basic Set consists of 82 sets that ran from 1961 to 1975. As of today, 080-2 Ambassador Set is the most valuable Basic Set set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $3,351.
