LEGO 9653-1 Mechanical Toy Shop is a Dacta Duplo set released in 1995, containing 32 pieces and 2 figures. Part of the Dacta (LEGO Education) range, it focuses on simple mechanisms using Duplo Technic elements such as axles, beams, a crank handle, pulleys, and a large rubber belt.

Insights

Released long ago and now retired, Mechanical Toy Shop (set 9653) comes from the Dacta Duplo education line and has niche desirability for its Duplo Technic elements, with scarcity supporting modest post-retirement gains and a small, volatile buyer pool that tempers upside for collectors and investors.
