Seller notes

  • Sealed copies sell for $594.99 vs $364.31 used — a 63% premium. If you have this set new in sealed box (NISB), price it accordingly.
  • Geolix with 2 Crystals on Back (Rock Monster) ($29.10) 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.
