About 1979 LEGO Sets

Like the previous year, 1979 saw about 90 LEGO sets released to various retail markets in both North America and Europe.

Based on the 90 sets released for that year, the retail value was $1,021.91 with a current value of $43,185.70 for the combined new/factory sealed sets. As of present, the best performing theme for 1979 is currently Castle which has seen an average annual growth of upwards of 9% to date.

1979 introduced Fabuland, bridging DUPLO and System with animal characters and story-led builds that ran for a decade. Classic Space expanded with new ships and lunar installations, and Castle gained momentum after its 1978 debut. Kjeld Kirk Kristiansen became LEGO Group president, setting the stage for the brand’s global expansion in the 1980s.
