About 1974 LEGO Sets

In 1974 there were 38 LEGO sets produced overall.

Based on the 38 sets released for that year, the retail value was $231.90 with a current value of $13,169.96 for the combined new/factory sealed sets. As of present, the best performing theme for 1974 is currently Basic which has seen an average annual growth of upwards of 7% to date. With the 13 sets that year, the LEGOLAND theme had the most released sets.

1974 saw the Universal Building Set broaden parts variety and color, while large ‘Family’ (maxi) figures and the Homemaker line brought interiors and furniture to the forefront. Early mechanical elements began laying groundwork for later Expert Builder/Technic. Trains continued to evolve on 12V in Europe, refining the system ahead of the 1980s expansion.
