The 4000008 Villy Thomsen Truck, released in 2013, was an exclusive set with three minifugures which was given to attendees of that year's LEGO Inside Tour. It was based on the first truck the Lego Group used to transport products, purchased by the company in 1958, and only 43 sets were produced. Its rarity means an unopened set is worth £5,009, according to BrickEconomy.com. Used prices for the Villy Thomsen Truck range from £155 to £190, depending on the set's condition, with an average price of £159 for those in good overall condition.placeholder image
