Frequently asked questions

How much is LEGO Police Headquarters (588-1) worth?

LEGO Police Headquarters is worth approximately $1,206 on the secondary market today, based on current listings and completed sales. BrickStats updates this value daily.

Is LEGO Police Headquarters retired?

Why is LEGO Police Headquarters so expensive?
