Frequently asked questions
How much is LEGO Seaplane (3178-1) worth?
LEGO Seaplane is worth approximately $69 on the secondary market today, based on current listings and completed sales. BrickStats updates this value daily.
Is LEGO Seaplane retired?
Yes — Seaplane (3178-1) 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 Seaplane?
At its $11 retail price across 102 pieces, Seaplane works out to about $0.108 per piece. Collectors often use price per piece to judge whether a set is good value.
Is LEGO Seaplane a good investment?
Seaplane currently trades 526.4% above its $11 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 Seaplane so expensive?
Seaplane was released in 2010 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.
