Set Value (New/Sealed)

This data represents the current estimated value of the set Technical Motor, 4.5 V since April 2014. Medium/lowaccuracy
LEGO 870 Technical Motor, 4.5 V was a 22 piece Technic set released in 1977. The current value for a new, factory sealed Technical Motor, 4.5 V is estimated around $96. The current used prices for Technical Motor, 4.5 V can be found in the range of $46 and $61 depending on the set's condition, with an average price of $51 if it is in good overall condition.
Technical Motor, 4.5 V is an extremely old and very rare LEGO set. We have not seen set 870-1 currently for sale online or in the hundreds of retail stores in good/new condition in over 776 days. Because of the rarity of this hard to find set the current estimated value of $96.35 might actually be much lower than the true value, assuming this set can be found for sale.Because Technical Motor, 4.5 V is a very old set from 1977, finding it in a sealed and good condition might be difficult thus making the true value even that much higher.

“The 4,5 V Motor from the Lego Technic series was the first supplementary set with an electric motor. This allowed for the models of the time to be equipped with a motor, and therefore have the motor perform some functions.”

About Technic Supplementary

TECHNIC is one of The LEGO Company's main lines based on creating detailed model machines and mechanical toys with specialized beams, axles, gears and connectors and primarily designed for older children and adults. The theme was first introduced as the Expert Builder series in 1977, but was officially renamed as TECHNIC in 1984. TECHNIC is still an active theme, and is one of the longest running themes in LEGO history. While most TECHNIC sets are vehicles that use pieces to mimic real vehicles, such as engine pieces, suspension, pneumatic, and transmission pieces, the TECHNIC parts have been used by various other System themes as well as LEGO Mindstorms.

Supplementary consists of 18 sets that ran from 1977 to 1997. As of today, 877 Steering Gear Parts is the most valuable Supplementary set with an estimated new/factory sealed value of $184.
