Frequently asked questions
How much is LEGO Meltrox (852506-1) worth?
LEGO Meltrox is worth approximately $6 on the secondary market today, based on current listings and completed sales. BrickStats updates this value daily.
Is LEGO Meltrox retired?
Yes — Meltrox (852506-1) 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 Meltrox gone up in value?
Yes. Meltrox launched at $5 and now trades around $6, an increase of 28.3%. See the price history chart for how it got there.
Is LEGO Meltrox a good investment?
Meltrox currently trades 28.3% above its $5 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 Meltrox so expensive?
Meltrox was released in 2009 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.
