LEGO Mars Research Shuttle is worth approximately $66 on the secondary market today, based on current listings and completed sales. BrickStats updates this value daily.
Is LEGO Mars Research Shuttle retired?
Yes — Mars Research Shuttle (60226-1) 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 Mars Research Shuttle gone up in value?

What is the price per piece for Mars Research Shuttle?
At its $48 retail price across 273 pieces, Mars Research Shuttle works out to about $0.176 per piece. Collectors often use price per piece to judge whether a set is good value.
Is LEGO Mars Research Shuttle a good investment?
Mars Research Shuttle currently trades 38.0% above its $48 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 Mars Research Shuttle so expensive?
Mars Research Shuttle was released in 2019 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.
