Insights

Released in 1979 and long retired, Command Center is an early Classic Space command hub with recognizable astronauts that sustain collector interest, and its scarce sealed supply has supported durable post-retirement demand, while an identical regional counterpart and episodic tribute releases introduce occasional trading volatility.

Brickipedia

“The station is built onto a crater baseplate. The building contains a control room with two swivel chairs (which were entirely brick built and no dedicated chair pieces) and several computer monitors. On one of the walls was a large computer screen that showed a LEGO... More astronaut in space (This was a large preprinted piece and not a sticker).”

Eurobricks

“Simple, yet so much playability. The Command Center display is excellent. One set, containing a total of 7 printed computer bricks, is totally amazing! Most importantly, that one large big display screen. This is not a very big complex command center, but it certainly looks... More the best around here, with those amazing parts, which you can hardly see it anymore in most of the Space theme.”

About Space Classic

Classic Space began in 1978, the same year as the LEGO minifigure, and it was one of the first three themes to use it, along with Castle and Town. The astronauts came in red and white at first, with yellow, black and blue added in the 1980s, all in the same suit with the planet logo on the chest and an air tank on the back. Unlike almost every space line after it, Classic Space had no villains, only explorers with rovers, rockets, lunar bases and grey crater baseplates.

Classic consists of 90 sets that ran from 1978 to 2015. As of today, 926 Command Center is the most valuable Classic set with an estimated new/sealed value of $4,822.

Summary

Space Classic Command Center set 926 was released in April 1979, retailing for $25, but has since been retired. New, unopened Command Center sets are valued at $4,822, while used sets can be found for $206 in good condition.
