What sets include the Black VIP minifigure?

How do I identify Black VIP?
Look for the BrickLink ID sw0985 — it's the definitive identifier for this figure. Black VIP is made up of 3 parts (a standard minifigure assembly). The parts breakdown on this page shows each component with colors. If you have a loose figure and aren't sure what it is, the brick'em scanner can identify it from a photo in a few seconds.
What's the best way to sell Black VIP?
At $187.30, this figure is worth listing individually on BrickLink where LEGO buyers specifically search by ID. Take clear photos showing all sides and accessories. BrickLink listings at or slightly below the 6-month average tend to sell within a week or two. eBay is a good secondary option if you want a wider audience, but expect slightly lower prices after fees.
Does condition matter for Black VIP?
At $187.30 average, yes. Buyers at this price point expect a complete figure with all accessories, no major scratches on printed elements, and tight joints. Minor play wear is generally acceptable, but cracked or heavily scratched torso prints will drop the price below average. If you have the figure new/sealed (averaging $330.37), keep it protected — the premium for mint condition is significant.
