Part-out value

The minifigures account for about 29% of the set's value ($32.67 out of $114.26). 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 $239.38 vs $114.26 used — a 110% premium. If you have this set new in sealed box (NISB), price it accordingly.
Tremorox (Rock Monster) ($28.90) 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 (2009). Condition of the box and instructions significantly affects value. A complete set with original box and instructions can sell for well above the average.
