Frequently asked questions
How much is LEGO Captain America (4597-1) worth?

Is LEGO Captain America retired?
Yes — Captain America (4597-1) 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.

What is the price per piece for Captain America?
At its $15 retail price across 44 pieces, Captain America works out to about $0.341 per piece. Collectors often use price per piece to judge whether a set is good value.
Is LEGO Captain America a good investment?
Captain America currently trades 266.9% above its $15 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 Captain America so expensive?
Captain America was released in 2012 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.
