Frequently asked questions
How much is LEGO Cockatiel (40481-1) worth?
LEGO Cockatiel is worth approximately $40 on the secondary market today, based on current listings and completed sales. BrickStats updates this value daily.
Is LEGO Cockatiel retired?
Yes — Cockatiel (40481-1) 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 Cockatiel gone up in value?
Yes. Cockatiel launched at $15 and now trades around $40, an increase of 166.8%. See the price history chart for how it got there.
What is the price per piece for Cockatiel?
At its $15 retail price across 219 pieces, Cockatiel works out to about $0.068 per piece. Collectors often use price per piece to judge whether a set is good value.
Is LEGO Cockatiel a good investment?
Cockatiel currently trades 166.8% 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 Cockatiel so expensive?
Cockatiel was released in 2021 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.
