Seller notes
- This figure alone is worth 70% of its source set (Advent Calendar 2023, Star Wars (Day 20) - Emperor Palpatine in Holiday Outfit, ~$6.53). If you find the set at retail or in a collection, the minifig is a significant chunk of the value.
- Only 4 parts — quick to assemble and verify completeness. Make sure all pieces are present before listing, especially any printed or unique elements.
- At this price point, list on BrickLink with other Star Wars figures to save on shipping and attract buyers building out their collection. Individual listings at low prices rarely justify the packaging time.
