Set Value (New/Sealed)

This chart represents the current new/sealed value of the set VTOL since December 2016. High accuracy
LEGO 8222 VTOL was a 138 piece Technic set with 1 figure released in 1997. It was a Tech Play set. The current value for a new and sealed VTOL is estimated at $44 with an average yearly gain of about 7%. The current used prices for VTOL can be found in the range of $13 and $21 depending on the set's condition, with an average price of $17 if it is in good overall condition.
VTOL is an extremely old and very rare LEGO set. We have not seen set 8222-1 currently for sale online or in the hundreds of retail stores in good/new condition in over 856 days. Because of the rarity of this hard to find set the current estimated value of $44.07 might actually be much lower than the true value, assuming this set can be found for sale.

Figures

VTOL contains 1 figure. The figure is unique to this set.

“The Airplane from the Lego Technic series is a simple model belonging to so-called VTOLs. VTOL mean Vertical Take off and Landing (missp.). These propellers can take of and land vertically and fly like normal planes. All in all, the model gets four stars in the overall... More rating.”

“This particular aircraft tilts the whole wing with a worm gear. The props are not geared to anything but can spin, and the canopy can open manually. This a single place aircraft and comes complete with a pilot. The wing leading edge is made from flexible tubing. The... More canopy uses the new angled connectors. A detailed sticker is used for instruments in the cockpit. The wings of this model are quite fragile due to the fact that the tips are only connected to the root by an axle, and the two sides of the wing are only connected together at the tilt axis.”

About Technic

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.
Summary
Technic VTOL set 8222 was released in January 1997, retailing for $17, but has since been retired. New, unopened VTOL sets are valued at $44, while used sets can be found for $17.
