LEGO 842-2 Town Plan is a Samsonite Town Plan set released in 1969, containing 799 pieces. Based on the classic Town Plan format, the set included elements for building a street layout along with a Town Plan board and a cardboard tri-fold backdrop. In the United States it was sold through department store catalogs such as Sears and JCPenney rather than through standard Samsonite catalogs. Sets ordered this way were packaged in a plain brown mailer, and the set was retired after a relatively short release period. Based on current trends, this set could be valued near $2,363 within the next year.
Town Plan (842-2) 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 $2,188.42 may be much lower than its true market value. Released in 1969, sealed sets in good condition are especially difficult to find, often commanding a premium well above estimates.
There are currently no new/sealed listings available for Town Plan at this time.
