Which LEGO sets are worth the most money?Which LEGO sets are worth the most money?

We have rounded up the 20 most expensive LEGO box sets ever sold.

Which will be the champion?

LEGO Harry Potter? LEGO Lord of the Rings? LEGO Star Wars?

Some values are estimated, as the sets so rarely change hands.

"Investing" in toy collectibles has changed a lot over the years.

It wasn't until the 1980s that people started to stockpile mint in box toys in the hope that they would appreciate in value.

Earlier toys are very rare mint in unopened boxes.

The more obscure the toy, the rarer it is in untouched form.
