Since their creation, Lego bricks have never lost their luster. They've been a fun pastime for literally decades, and it's easy to see why. There are seemingly endless things to build with the tiny toys.
Lego celebrated its 90th birthday on August 10, 2022. That's a lot of Lego love. But now we're learning that some vintage Lego sets might be more than just a fun activity. They might actually put some extra cash in your wallet.
According to The Toy Zone, which recently collected data for 13,763 Lego sets from BrickEconomy, an online guide on the economics of Legos, some vintage sets are seriously valuable.
If you happen to own any of these sets, you're absolutely in luck. The most valuable set rings in at over $10,000!
Check out the list to see the top 10 most valuable Lego sets.
