About The origins

The origins (4851-1) is a LEGO LEGO set from 2003 that sells for around $170.00 used on BrickLink. It includes 6 minifigures with a combined resale value of $116.50 — that's 69% of the set's price in figures alone. The most valuable is Green Goblin 2, Gold Eyes at $53.24. For sellers buying complete sets to part out, the minifig value here makes this one worth considering.

Part-out value

Minifig value: $116.50 out of $170.00 total (69%). 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

  • Sealed copies sell for $324.94 vs $170.00 used — a 91% premium. If you have this set new in sealed box (NISB), price it accordingly.
  • Green Goblin 2, Gold Eyes ($53.24) 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.
  • This is a vintage set (2003). Condition of the box and instructions significantly affects value. A complete set with original box and instructions can sell for well above the average.
  • 6 minifigures at $116.50 combined value. That's a solid minifig haul — consider listing the figures individually on BrickLink where per-figure prices tend to be highest.
