The Lego Set Value Calculator estimates the total value of a Lego set based on the number of pieces and the average value per piece. This helps collectors and sellers determine fair market prices for sets.

2. How Does the Calculator Work?

The calculator uses the simple equation:

Where:

• \( Pieces \) — Total number of pieces in the set
