About Grand Prix Race

Grand Prix Race (8161-1) is a LEGO LEGO set released in 2008, currently averaging $121.59 used on BrickLink. It comes with 7 minifigures worth a combined $37.68. The set has retired from retail, so secondary market is the only option. The full parts inventory runs 170 pieces.

Part-out value

The minifigures account for about 31% of the set's value ($37.68 out of $121.59). The remaining value is in the parts and the set as a complete package. Selling complete will likely net more than parting out unless you have specific demand for the individual figures.

Seller notes

  • Sealed copies sell for $299.82 vs $121.59 used — a 147% premium. If you have this set new in sealed box (NISB), price it accordingly.
  • This is a vintage set (2008). Condition of the box and instructions significantly affects value. A complete set with original box and instructions can sell for well above the average.
  • 7 minifigures at $37.68 combined value. That's a solid minifig haul — consider listing the figures individually on BrickLink where per-figure prices tend to be highest.
