Part-out value

Minifig value: $133.35 out of $168.66 total (79%). Over half the set's resale value is in the figures. Sellers parting this set out should list the minifigs individually on BrickLink — they'll earn more than bundling everything together.

Seller notes

• Bofur the Dwarf ($31.14) is the most valuable minifig in this set. If you're buying this set secondhand, check that this figure is included — it's often the first one pulled by sellers who part out.
• 6 minifigures at $133.35 combined value. That's a solid minifig haul — consider listing the figures individually on BrickLink where per-figure prices tend to be highest.
