1975 / LEGOLAND Sets

In 1975 LEGO released 16 LEGOLAND sets. The largest LEGOLAND set from 1975 was 365 Wild West with a piece count of 602 and a retail price of $9.99. The current estimated value of all these LEGOLAND sets from this year is about $7,253.00.

The LEGO LEGOLAND theme, introduced in the 1970s and continuing into the 1980s, comprised sets that replicated everyday scenes, vehicles, and buildings in a more simplistic style than later themes. These sets, pre-dating the minifigure era, were designed to represent various aspects of life, from towns to vehicles to castles. The LEGOLAND theme was foundational in the evolution of LEGO, bridging the gap between basic brick building and the more themed, narrative-driven sets that would become standard in subsequent years.
