Frequently asked questions
How much is LEGO Shark Skin (81001-1) worth?
LEGO Shark Skin is worth approximately $43 on the secondary market today, based on current listings and completed sales. BrickStats updates this value daily.
Is LEGO Shark Skin retired?
Yes — Shark Skin (81001-1) 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 Shark Skin gone up in value?

What is the price per piece for Shark Skin?
At its $15 retail price across 31 pieces, Shark Skin works out to about $0.484 per piece. Collectors often use price per piece to judge whether a set is good value.
Is LEGO Shark Skin a good investment?
Shark Skin currently trades 188.3% 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 Shark Skin so expensive?
Shark Skin 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.
