About Twisted Time Train

Twisted Time Train (6497-1) is a LEGO LEGO set released in 1997, currently averaging $73.78 used on BrickLink. It comes with 4 minifigures worth a combined $20.06. The set has retired from retail, so secondary market is the only option. The full parts inventory runs 107 pieces.

Part-out value

The minifigures account for about 27% of the set's value ($20.06 out of $73.78). 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 $149.00 vs $73.78 used — a 102% premium. If you have this set new in sealed box (NISB), price it accordingly.
  • This is a vintage set (1997). Condition of the box and instructions significantly affects value. A complete set with original box and instructions can sell for well above the average.
