Frequently asked questions
How much is LEGO Test Car (8865-1) worth?
LEGO Test Car is worth approximately $434 on the secondary market today, based on current listings and completed sales. BrickStats updates this value daily.
Is LEGO Test Car retired?

Why is LEGO Test Car so expensive?
Test Car was released in 1988 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.
