| I’m trying to get every Star Wars minifig. Which should I get before they go
up? I know original cloud city figs and the original Watto and Jango are expensive,
and Inquisitors are going up like crazy as well because of the Kenobi Trailer.

Download BrickStore, make you a complete list, get the avg prices, see what it
makes, take decisions on what you want, what is available.
No one can help you really if you don't help yourself

I tried the brickstore method to get this info, but it really does not work well
for the very hard-to-find ones. Some are so hard to find that maybe only a very
few, or even none, sold in the last year or two. I did a very recent manual analysis,
looking on BL and other sites, and found the hardest ones to get are the two
I love NY Yoda figs. For a genuine ones, prepare to pay $3000 to even well more
than that. Also hard to find and expensive are the Chrome Gold C-3PO (~$2000),
and some of the first cloud city ones (Boba, ~2000$, 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.

On a cheaper note, for a ~$110 plus shipping you should be able to get the cheapest
50 SW figs (but they'll be almost exclusively droids....), so you can at
least get the quantity of figures up relatively fast.
"Fun" fact: The most expensive 30 figures together will cost as much as the remaining
1220 figures...

Agreed on this - but at least for 95% of them you can get the average price.
Then you sort by avg price descending, and correct by hand the more expensive,
and the ones that don't get any price.
Then you've your complete list.
And hope

| Hey, my shot in the dark guess of $20,000 (10k for most and 10k for the rare
ones) when he asked this question last week was surprisingly close. 😀

At-At pilot with complete triangle helmet? Never heard of that one? What’s the

The extra image show both version.
In short the top was somehow broken of on most helmet's.

Take out a $25K loan (or whatever you need) and buy them all now. Servicing the
debt will probably be cheaper than the rise in cost buying them later.

Why have none of the commodities trading exchanges gotten in on this. Surely
the could sell tranches of complete Star Wars mini fig sets. At worse, collateralized
minifig debt swaps.

If that's your goal, you're probably best off buying entire collections
and selling any duplicates, rather than seeking out any individual figures.

That's very sensible. Just be careful that you don't pay a premium for
a cloned brand.

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.
