Arctic Rescue Unit (8660-1) is a LEGO LEGO set released in 1986, currently averaging $73.52 used on BrickLink. It comes with 3 minifigures worth a combined $21.95. The set has retired from retail, so secondary market is the only option. The full parts inventory runs 92 pieces.

Part-out value

The minifigures account for about 30% of the set's value ($21.95 out of $73.52). 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 $215.51 vs $73.52 used — a 193% premium. If you have this set new in sealed box (NISB), price it accordingly.
  • This is a vintage set (1986). Condition of the box and instructions significantly affects value. A complete set with original box and instructions can sell for well above the average.
