Frequently asked questions
How much is LEGO BB-8 (40431-1) worth?

Is LEGO BB-8 retired?
Yes — BB-8 (40431-1) has been retired by LEGO and is no longer in production. Retired sets have fixed supply, which is why their prices are driven purely by the resale market.
Has LEGO BB-8 gone up in value?
Yes. BB-8 launched at $17 and now trades around $25, an increase of 47.1%. See the price history chart for how it got there.
What is the price per piece for BB-8?
At its $17 retail price across 171 pieces, BB-8 works out to about $0.099 per piece. Collectors often use price per piece to judge whether a set is good value.
Is LEGO BB-8 a good investment?
BB-8 currently trades 47.1% above its $17 retail price, and it is retired, so no new supply is entering the market. Past performance is not a prediction — condition, packaging and how long you hold all affect what a set actually sells for. BrickStats reports the numbers rather than giving investment advice.
Why is LEGO BB-8 so expensive?
BB-8 was released in 2020 and has since retired. Once LEGO stops producing a set, the only supply is what is already in circulation, so sealed copies in good condition compete for a shrinking pool of stock. That scarcity, not the parts, is what moves the price.
