Unfortunately, accurate retail and value pricing for all sets released in 1958 is unavailable. Production was highly limited during this period, with distribution primarily in Denmark and some availability in neighboring countries like Sweden, Germany, and Norway. Additionally, records from this period are scarce, and original pricing information is not well-documented. As a result, determining precise values for these sets remains a challenge.

About LEGO System i Leg HO 1:87 Vehicles

The LEGO HO 1:87 Vehicles subtheme, also referred to as LEGO small vehicles where plastic sets released in the 1950's and 1960's to compliment LEGO sets which could be used to build houses, gas stations, garages, shops and more.

1958 LEGO Sets
1958 was one of the most significant years in LEGO history. Following the death of founder Ole Kirk Christiansen, leadership passed to his son, Godtfred Kirk Christiansen. Most importantly, LEGO patented the modern stud-and-tube brick design, giving the LEGO System its enduring clutch power and near-unlimited stability. This breakthrough replaced earlier hollow-bottom bricks and defined the universal compatibility that remains today. LEGO also unified its packaging under the ‘LEGO System’ name, dropping multilingual text in favor of a consistent global identity.
