The 928-1 Space Cruiser and Moonbase is a highly sought-after set among LEGO collectors, particularly those who cherish the Classic Space theme. Its age, combined with its relatively high piece count for the era, makes it a valuable addition to any collection. Complete sets in good condition command a premium on the secondary market. While fluctuations are always possible, its iconic status and the enduring popularity of Classic Space suggest a strong potential for continued appreciation. However, condition is key to maximizing returns, so ensure the box, instructions and all parts are in excellent shape.

Compare Similar Sets

Compared to modern LEGO Space sets, the Space Cruiser and Moonbase offers a simpler, more nostalgic building experience. Sets like the LEGO City Space series (e.g., 60350-1) provide more advanced building techniques and contemporary designs, but lack the classic charm. Collectors seeking a vintage feel may prefer the 928-1, while those looking for modern play features may opt for newer sets.

2 Minifigures Included

The set includes four Classic Spacemen, two in red and two in white, each with the iconic airtanks and helmet. These minifigures are highly collectible and contribute significantly to the set's overall value.
