Found this list of sets with the possibility of Chrome Vader. I know some people

7748 Corporate Alliance Tank Droid

8015 Assassin Droids Battle Pack
8016 Hyena Droid Bomber
8017 Darth Vader's TIE Fighter
8018 Armored Assault Tank (AAT)
8019 Republic Attack Shuttle
8036 Separatists Shuttle
8037 Anakin's Y-Wing Starfighter
8038 The Battle of Endor
8039 Venator-class Republic Attack Cruiser

Anyone who found one in a battle pack please reach out and speak. I’m pretty
skeptical about it appearing in such a small set, although a few sources say
it has been.

I've heard it possibly had supply chain issues and might be retiring but
haven't seen it on any retirement lists

So probably late next year is what you’re referring to?

No, you need to be a seller to part out sets under the "add to inventory" section

if you go into the inventory of the advent calendars and click "break sets" it'll

up.

Priceless pic.

Thanks for sharing

These are all good replies! I think my favorite mentioned in this thread has
to be the OG Republic Gunship from 2002. I honestly need to pick one up, but
the figures alone cost a small fortune. Even the 2 Supers are at least $70 each
last I checked. The fact that Jedi Bob is over $100 is just insane!

Yeah, prices are "insane" I remember when I could hardly giveaway the Jedi Knights
from that that set, had loads of them too. Ended up parting them out for chump-change.
Never understood back then why some figures were for years, undesired. I wrote
it off as folks just wanting the popular villain/hero characters, the more black
n'white roles in the movies. Guess I really don't know the consumer mindset.

My son still recalls the set too. "Hey dad, you remember that gunship set?" kind
of thing. It was his first set, but never really got a lot of Lego sets after
his seventh birthday, some here and there. He enjoyed other things more, like
his KTM at eight years-old when we moved to California living in the desert.
After that, it was all about the outdoors and dirt bikes, backcountry trekking,
shooting, etc. I 'americanized' him, the western style

Thanks for the great thread. Some fantastic reading from others.

I dug out all the parts about 10 years ago and put it together again, I kind

Eldorado Fortress was such a great set. I know I’m biased because I’m a huge

this set so special. Someday I’ll have to get around to buying it. It’s very

Hi everyone,
I've got a copy of

10123-1 (Inv) Cloud City
675 Parts, 7 Minifigures, 2003
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6

that unfortunately has several cracked minifigs.
I've been trying for a bit to sell it, but I really don't know how much
the imperfect minifigs devalue the set.
If you've got any feedback, I'd love to hear it.

https://www.bricklink.com/store.asp?p=Classicsmiley&itemID=307730878

Thing is, the main draw of the set is Boba & Lando; if the Lando and Boba minifigs
have damage, I would argue that it would deter people from buying the set due
to it being a little lackluster outside of the minifigures, especially with a
price of $3k

I think it would value around $1900 - $2200 due to the damaged minifigures, and
even if you replaced the parts for the cheaper ones, Boba and Lando are the 2
that NEED to be in great condition for the set to sell

You could always list Boba separately and then put the Cloud City up for a lower
price, might get you more money in the long run as well

Good point @Utif. The boba on his own is selling for at least $1500 even if he’s
beat up. I’ve seen him selling for $1700 with chewed up/yellowed legs and dents
on the arms.

675 Parts, 7 Minifigures, 2003
Sets: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6

Seems like 3k is about what a really nicely preserved copy goes for. One gently
used with some imperfections would likely be a bit under that. The only imperfections
really affecting your value are the cracked Boba arm (~$300), cracked leia torso
(~$100) and torn box.

I'd say somewhere in and around $2500 would be right in range for a fair
value.

Thing is, you might as well buy a new Leia before you sell it. The torso is the
only part of her that’s worth anything. She’s also the least expensive exclusive
figure going for ~$200-$250 Last I checked. The legs came on lost of figs (Chewie,
some figs from adventurers), hair was on the original Padme from ‘99 and the
head was on all the classic Leias from 2000-2004)

Same here. The poll is very much biased. I will be buying many more. In the past,
I've bought some (actually very many...), only to fend bend items, like spears,
swords, most likely damaged not in production buy by "feelers". Knowing that
the quality of parts is now more guaranteed, and the good ones are not all gone,
I'll buy more in stores.

Honestly TLG’s recent changes to things are so pointless. This change is the
literal definition of “ If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it.” They make changes that
make no sense and yet they won’t do things the ENTIRE FANDOM wants. Same goes
for the Slave 1 name change in August.

Minifig No: sw0566 Name: Luke Skywalker (Tatooine) - 2014 version

sw0566 (Inv) Luke Skywalker (Tatooine) - 2014 version
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6

Minifig inventories don’t have the handheld accessories but if you look at the

So I’d say no.

much, can I buy the parts one by one from different sellers. (torso, head, legs...)

By "can I" I mean is it good to buy like this or risky and buying the full figure
at once is safer and better?

Depends on the fig I think. I’ve seen Commander Wolffe, for example, being sold
as a complete figure for $100 when you can part him out and spend half that amount,
maybe even less on a good day.

Thanks for any advice,

Upstate_Brickz

Of course you can be profitable without Star Wars. The reason why there are so
many stores devoted to it is because you can hardly go anywhere and not see something
Star Wars-related. Star Wars has such a big fanbase and so does LEGO, so people
know that if they put any LEGO Star Wars product up for sale they know that they
will have buyers. I myself am a huge Star Wars fan, so I mainly buy Star Wars.
I feel like Star Wars is one of those themes that “fills your plate” so to speak:
from what I’ve encountered, LSW fans usually don’t buy other themes because of
how much LSW products there are. The same can go for LEGO Harry Potter or LEGO
Marvel/DC.

I feel like the only instructions people would by would be from a rare set, like

Nowadays people will want anything from set 10123.

It is because the person that did the work to add it to the catalogue added the

You can submit a change request if you want to, but you'll need to give a

You think that’s bad? Check the names for the Spider-Man 2 Doc Ock figs. They
don’t describe the figure at all. The names make no sense for the particular

I have also tried swabbing them with cotton balls.

I really need a way to remove the layers of dust. Anything help will be much

Maybe. But a lot of the pictures LEGO makes of flat silver and pearl gold look

Looks to me the binoculars are flat silver from the picture, which would make
the lightsaber either metallic or chrome in my opinion.

There’s no way. It would cost TLG way to much money to do that, and considering
they NEVER make new molds for Star Wars anymore (phase 2 Cody, accurate clone
pilot helmet, etc.) there’s no way they would go the extra mile to do that.

You can use

93095 Panel 1 x 2 x 1 with Rounded Corners and Center Divider
Parts: Panel {Tan}

It has just enough friction to keep a figure upright and hold it into place without
putting pressure on a stud. You probably have one in your collection to test
out as it's a fairly common piece, in the snowtrooper battle pack as well.

Unfortunately I don’t have that piece, but I’ll try to get one next time I go

I spent some time for you...

Infos/facts:

I've got the list of the 1261 (as of 06 MAR 2022) Minifigures of the BrickLink
Category Star Wars.

The most expensive for sale is Yoda NY sw0645a, Avg price curr invent: 8341.33$

8 have no price, either not for sale, or marked for Catalog deletion.

Apart those 8:

* Avg price of current Inventory (for sale): 53 229.34$
* Min price of current Inventory (for sale): 31 628.53$

Those prices (espceially Min) won't include:
* taxes,
* seller's fees (PayPal...),
* conversion fees (3/4% if not your currency),
* the fact some of them are sold cheaper because they're in a Super-Lot (with
the other ones more expensive, it's a common disgusting trick),
* AND shipping.

About this, count that a minimum of 100 of them would need tracking+insurance
which will add an important extra.

Add maybe 1000$ of money/envelope lost, PayPal lost battle, lower quality received.
Plus hundreds of hours, not counting running after the "last bits".

And a nice showcase to build that'll probably take a full wall, and a nice
price also.

Now you know.

Thanks! Honestly I might just buy Minifigs from now on. There’s so many Star
Wars figs and I wouldn’t have the money to keep up with sets and all the Star
Wars figs.

I tried the brickstore method to get this info, but it really does not work well

few, or even none, sold in the last year or two. I did a very recent manual analysis,

and some of the first cloud city ones (Boba, ~2000$, Luke, ~$800). Finch Dallow
(~$700) is also hard to find.
If you want the AT-AT driver with complete triangle helmet, these are super hard
to find, probably also a few $1000, if not way, way more).
By my analysis, if you were to get all figures (~1250) even in used condition,
it will cost well over $30000, plus shipping, to get them all. Tip, for some
of the figures, the prices for new are cheaper than used, so in those case I
used the cheaper price to calculate totals.

At-At pilot with complete triangle helmet? Never heard of that one? What’s the
difference between that and the other versions?

I found a 57467c01 in a bulk lot, chrome silver
I also got some loose harpoons and loose sprue's, also chrome silver.

How should these be sold?
- are the harpoons connected to the sprue considered 'new'? condition
is still really good.
- can the loose harpoons and a loose sprue be sold as 57467c01 as 'used',
mentioning the harpoons are not connected to the sprue? I see this happening
several times, does the sprue really hold value?

[P=57467c01,22]

Pretty sure removing them from the sprue changes the condition to used, whether
or not the chrome finish is still there and not worn off. I’d recommend selling
it still intact on the sprue.

Why does the SW0122 have a yellow head? Is this an error on BrickLink’s part?
This figure was released in 2005 after TLG had already switched to flesh tones.
Does the figure actually have a yellow head or is it a black head like other
stormtrooper figs during this time period?

Yellow head:

Ok. Thanks for clearing that up!

Will Slave Leia go up in value? I currently have both the 2003 and 2006 versions.
Will she increase in value any more or will she stay at the same price point.
I know Disney doesn’t allow and Slave Leia merchandise to be made so chances
are the figure will never be rereleased.

Maybe they will go up in value but after all these years from production they
haven’t moved upwards much.
The 2003 version with yellow head may never be very popular due to the non skinlike
color.
I see the Leia with long hair from the second sailbarge is doing really good,
that’s a better version.
So yours aren’t the ones I would bet on.

I know the Slave Leia is one of the only figures where the newest one is the
most valuable. The 2013 version is sometimes upwards of $50, while the other
two are usually around $25 each.

I have found this 1x2 brick with "embossed" Lego logo. This is not just surface
printed but relief embossed into the plastic and then white paint put into the
grooves. Not sure if this may have been a normal way to make a printed part back
in the day, but I thought someone here might know better about this sort of thing.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think that’s a samsonite era piece.

I’ll be sure to check it out! Star Wars is my favorite theme and I’m currently
trying to collect every minifig from it so now is a pretty convenient time for
me! Good luck with the sale!

Ive seen plenty of minifies misprints with the prices increased as it makes them

Cheers all.

I see all the time things with an increased price due to some sort of misprint,
marbling or defect, not just in LEGO. Bank notes, coins, stamps.

How many times do you see them ACTUALLY selling for the high prices? And the
condition of the item is still paramount. You can ask any price you want, it
is the final sale price that makes the difference.

Like any collectable, if the misprint is on something no-one collects in the
first place, then it probably won't be worth much more if anything.

Value in the eye of the beholder is the way I would put it. Some people don’t
feel comfortable paying $2,000 for a cloud city boba, so they settle for the
$200 remade version from 75159. Some people think that version is better and
don’t think the original from 10123 is worth it. Someone might think a $10 figure
is better than a $100 figure. Different things suit different people.

A mis-print on a basic Town minifigure for example.

If you had a misprint on a rare Star Wars minifigure such as

Minifig No: sw0105 Name: Lando Calrissian, Cloud City Outfit (Smooth Hair)

sw0105 (Inv) Lando Calrissian, Cloud City Outfit (Smooth Hair)
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6

just as a random example, yes, you may be talking some extra money.

Personally, I pay *way* more for things that have flawless prints rather than
misprints. To me, misprints are worthless.

I agree. I have never known the obsession with misprints etc. Wouldn't
you want a perfect minifigure than pay more for one that is not right.

Prototypes etc i understand fully. And marbled parts are cool to collect for
their uniqueness.

Value is in the eye of the beholder i guess.

Well, I’ve got a light up lightsaber Vader with a misprinted face. The print
is printed way too low on the head and as far as I know it’s one of a kind. That
could definitely boost its value.

You can probably get a better printed head for less than $5. I don't think
your misprint is worth much of anything. Alignment errors are very commonplace.
If the print were completely mirrored or on a different color head, then that
would be something. As it is, the value of your figure is in the rest of it,
not the head (misprint or not).
