Part-out value

The minifigures account for about 40% of the set's value ($20.26 out of $50.18). The remaining value is in the parts and the set as a complete package. Selling complete will likely net more than parting out unless you have specific demand for the individual figures.

Seller notes

  • Sealed copies sell for $500.00 vs $50.18 used — a 896% premium. If you have this set new in sealed box (NISB), price it accordingly.
  • This is a vintage set (1984). Condition of the box and instructions significantly affects value. A complete set with original box and instructions can sell for well above the average.
