LEGO Hidden Side Minifigure Prices: What They Are Worth

LEGO Hidden Side minifigure prices generally run from about $1.20 to $2.20 for common characters like Jack Davids and Parker L. Jackson, up into the $12 to $24 range for the rarest figures, based on current brick'em catalog data pulled from 75 cataloged Hidden Side minifigures. Hidden Side was LEGO's ghost hunting, augmented reality theme that launched in 2019 and had mostly vanished from retail shelves by 2020, and that short production window is exactly the kind of gap that tends to push prices up on the figures that are left.

I've spent a lot of time watching discontinued LEGO themes move through the resale market, and Hidden Side is a useful case study because it hit almost every marker of a theme that becomes collectible later. It had a gimmick built around a companion AR app, a short shelf life of roughly two years, and a smaller built in fan base than juggernauts like Star Wars or Ninjago. In my experience, that combination usually means fewer minifigures were produced in the first place, which is the raw material that eventually drives scarcity once a theme is discontinued for good.

• Hidden Side includes 75 cataloged minifigures, with used prices ranging from roughly $1.18 up to $16.32 for the single most valuable figure.
• The top figure, Nehmaar Reem - The Harbinger, sells for around $16.32 used and $24.17 new according to current catalog data.
• The theme launched in 2019 and was largely discontinued by 2020, one of the shortest production runs of any recent LEGO theme.
• Ghost, ghoul, and "possessed" variant figures carry a clear premium over the human civilian characters in the lineup.

What Are LEGO Hidden Side Minifigures Worth Right Now?

Most Hidden Side minifigures sell in the $1 to $5 range used, with a handful of standout characters pushing into double digits. Based on current brick'em catalog data, the most valuable figure in the theme, Nehmaar Reem - The Harbinger, sells for around $16.32 used and $24.17 new, while a common civilian like Jack Davids sits closer to $1.40 to $1.45 depending on the exact variant.

Here is a snapshot of the highest value figures in the theme right now. Treat these as a general reference point rather than a fixed price list. Always check current sold listings before you buy or sell, since secondhand LEGO prices move with demand, condition, and completeness.

Minifigure	Used Price	New Price
Nehmaar Reem - The Harbinger	$16.32	$24.17
Nehmaar Reem	$14.11	$21.21
Shadow-Walker - Wings	$12.73	$17.69
Shadow-Walker	$8.64	$12.61
Terry Top	$7.64	$7.29
Claus Stormward	$5.26	$6.87

I recommend cross referencing any figure you are pricing against the brick'em minifigure database and current sold data on BrickEconomy before you commit to a buy or a listing price. Catalog prices give you a starting range, but the number that actually matters is what a figure sold for in the last few weeks, not what it sold for a year ago.

Why Did LEGO Discontinue the Hidden Side Theme?

Hidden Side was discontinued mainly because retail sales did not match LEGO's expectations for the augmented reality gimmick that anchored the whole theme. It launched in 2019 and was mostly pulled from shelves by 2020, which gave it one of the shortest lifespans of any modern LEGO theme, well short of long runners like Ninjago or City.

The core idea was clever on paper. Every set connected to a companion app that used your phone's camera to show ghosts and supernatural effects layered over the physical build. In my view, that is exactly the kind of feature that sounds great in a pitch meeting and struggles in the real world, because it depends on kids and parents actually downloading and using an app years after a set is purchased. Once LEGO stopped supporting and promoting the app, a lot of the theme's identity went with it.

Which Hidden Side Minifigures Are the Most Valuable?

The most valuable Hidden Side minifigures are almost all supernatural characters rather than human civilians, with Nehmaar Reem and the Shadow-Walker figures sitting at the top of the price range. I noticed the same pattern shows up across a lot of licensed and story driven LEGO themes: the villain or monster variant almost always outprices the ordinary human character standing next to it on the same shelf.

That pattern holds here too. Nehmaar Reem - The Harbinger and the standard Nehmaar Reem figure lead the theme, followed closely by the winged version of Shadow-Walker. Meanwhile early wave civilians like Jack Davids and Parker L. Jackson, who appeared in multiple minor variants across the line, sit at the bottom of the price range simply because so many of them were packed into starter sets.

What Made Hidden Side Different From Other LEGO Themes?

Hidden Side stood apart from other LEGO themes because it combined a physical ghost hunting build with an AR app instead of relying purely on a licensed story like Star Wars or Harry Potter. That novelty made it stand out on shelves in 2019, but it also meant the theme lived or died on tech adoption rather than a built in fan base that already existed before the first set shipped.

From what I've seen with other short lived, gimmick driven themes, that tradeoff cuts both ways for resellers. On one hand, a smaller total print run usually means a smaller total supply of minifigures long term, which supports prices once the theme is fully retired. On the other hand, a smaller fan base at launch means slower price appreciation in the first few years after discontinuation, since there simply are not as many collectors chasing the pieces yet.

Is Hidden Side a Good LEGO Theme to Invest In?

Hidden Side can be a reasonable niche pickup for collectors who like discontinued, story driven themes, but it is not the safest or most liquid choice for someone brand new to LEGO reselling. In my experience, minifigures overall are one of the strongest collectible categories in the entire hobby, but a smaller theme like this one carries more price volatility and slower resale speed than a mainstream line like Star Wars or Ninjago.

If you are weighing Hidden Side against other discontinued themes, run the numbers through the brick'em investment calculator and compare it against a broader spread using the collection value calculator before you commit real money. A lot of sellers I know treat discontinued niche themes like this as a smaller satellite position inside a collection built mostly around higher demand categories, rather than the core of a portfolio.

Where Should You Buy and Sell Hidden Side Minifigures?

The best places to buy and sell Hidden Side minifigures are BrickLink for accurate pricing and individual figure sales, eBay for broad buyer reach, and Whatnot if you enjoy live selling and want a shot at above market prices from an engaged audience.

BrickLink is what I'd call the Wall Street of LEGO. It is the market standard for pricing, which is why brick'em leans on BrickLink integrated data for figure values. The tradeoff is that BrickLink's own fee structure and per order minimums mean it works best for sellers moving individual pieces or small lots rather than single high value figures. eBay, on the other hand, puts a listing in front of a much bigger audience, though promoted listings can push your total take rate close to 25% of the sale once you add them on top of standard fees. When I sell a genuinely rare figure like the Harbinger version of Nehmaar Reem, I lean toward eBay or Whatnot for the exposure, and I use BrickLink for the more common figures in a lot. For local sourcing, Facebook Marketplace and Mercari are both worth checking for people clearing out old AR themed sets who have no idea what they are sitting on.

How Do You Check Condition and Completeness Before Buying Hidden Side Figures?

You check condition and completeness on a Hidden Side figure by confirming every accessory and printed piece matches the original set, since many of these minifigures came with unique face prints, ghost accessories, or glow in the dark elements that are easy to lose over time. A figure missing its signature accessory can sell for a fraction of a complete one.

• Confirm the head has both printed expressions if the figure is dual sided.
• Check for any accessory unique to that character, such as a phone prop, weapon, or ghost effect piece.
• Look closely for sun fading or discoloration on light colored torsos and heads.
• Verify the exact variant name and number against the minifigure database before pricing it, since several Hidden Side characters have multiple near identical versions.
• Ask for close up photos of the print quality if you are buying sight unseen from a bulk lot or local listing.

How Do I Track and Price a Hidden Side Collection?

You track and price a Hidden Side collection by scanning each figure to identify the exact variant, pulling current market pricing, and logging everything in one place so you know what to hold and what to sell. I started doing this manually with spreadsheets years ago, and it was slow enough that I built brick'em specifically to skip that step.

If you have a shoebox of old Hidden Side figures from 2019 or 2020, the fastest way to find out what you actually have is to scan the lot instead of trying to identify each ghost variant by memory. I use the haul calculator to get a quick read on what an entire lot is worth before I decide whether to part it out or sell it as a bundle, and I keep an eye on the wider brick'em blog for updates on which discontinued themes are trending. If you are just getting started, you can create a free brick'em account to scan and price a collection in one pass.

Frequently Asked Questions

What year did LEGO Hidden Side come out?

LEGO Hidden Side launched in 2019 as a ghost hunting theme built around a companion augmented reality app. It ran for roughly two waves of sets before LEGO wound the theme down, making it one of the shorter production runs among recent LEGO lines.

Why are some Hidden Side minifigures worth more than others?

Supernatural characters like Nehmaar Reem and the Shadow-Walker variants sell for more than human civilians because there is stronger collector demand for the theme's signature ghosts and villains. Common characters that appeared in multiple starter sets, like Jack Davids, were produced in higher numbers and sell for closer to $1 to $2.

Is LEGO Hidden Side worth collecting?

Hidden Side is worth collecting if you like discontinued, story driven LEGO themes and do not mind slower resale speed compared to mainstream lines. In my view it is a reasonable niche pickup, but it should not be the only theme in a reseller's inventory given its smaller collector base.

Where is the best place to sell Hidden Side minifigures?

BrickLink is generally the best place to sell individual Hidden Side minifigures because it is the pricing standard for the LEGO secondhand market. For rare figures like the Harbinger variant of Nehmaar Reem, eBay or Whatnot can sometimes bring a better price thanks to wider buyer exposure.
