LEGO® Set Condition Guide
We grade the condition of boxes for new and retired LEGO® sets using a 1–10 scale. This helps customers understand what to expect before purchasing.
The box score relates only to the condition of the outer packaging. Whether a set is factory sealed, opened or used is stated separately in each product listing. Any significant or unusual damage will also be mentioned individually.
9–10 | Collector Condition
The box is exceptionally well presented, with no noticeable damage or only very faint handling marks. Corners, edges and surfaces remain clean and tidy. Suitable for most box collectors.
7–8 | Good Condition
The box remains in good overall condition but may show light shelf wear, small scuffs, minor creasing or slight wear to corners and edges.
5–6 | Fair Condition
The box has noticeable wear, which may include dents, creases, scratches, worn corners or light crushing. The packaging remains intact but may not suit a box collector.
3–4 | Damaged Condition
The box has substantial visible damage, such as heavier crushing, deep creases, punctures, tears or significant surface wear. The condition of the contents and seals will be stated separately.
1–2 | Heavily Damaged Condition
The box is severely crushed, torn, punctured or otherwise heavily damaged. These sets are best suited to customers who are primarily interested in the building experience rather than the packaging.
Important notes
- Box grading is based on our careful visual assessment and is intended as a practical guide.
- Factory-seal status is always stated separately and is not included in the box score.
- Retail price or security stickers will be mentioned where present.
- Official product images will be used to show the set and will not show the condition of the individual box.
- Additional box photos are available on request before purchase.
- Every set is carefully packed for shipping, although we cannot guarantee that outer packaging will remain completely free from courier-related damage.
