Frequently asked questions
How much is LEGO Space Probe Launcher (6870-1) worth?
LEGO Space Probe Launcher is worth approximately $259 on the secondary market today, based on current listings and completed sales. BrickStats updates this value daily.
Is LEGO Space Probe Launcher retired?
Yes — Space Probe Launcher (6870-1) 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.
Why is LEGO Space Probe Launcher so expensive?
Space Probe Launcher was released in 1981 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.
