LEGO The Mine is worth approximately $235 on the secondary market today, based on current listings and completed sales. BrickStats updates this value daily.
Is LEGO The Mine retired?
Yes — The Mine (4204-1) 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 The Mine gone up in value?

What is the price per piece for The Mine?
At its $100 retail price across 748 pieces, The Mine works out to about $0.134 per piece. Collectors often use price per piece to judge whether a set is good value.
Is LEGO The Mine a good investment?
The Mine currently trades 135.0% above its $100 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 The Mine so expensive?
The Mine was released in 2012 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.
