Aerial Defense Unit

About Aerial Defense Unit

Aerial Defense Unit (8971-1) is a LEGO LEGO set released in 2009, currently averaging $93.81 used on BrickLink. It comes with 5 minifigures worth a combined $22.58. The set has retired from retail, so secondary market is the only option. The full parts inventory runs 200 pieces.

Part-out value

The minifigures account for about 24% of the set's value ($22.58 out of $93.81). 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 $232.28 vs $93.81 used — a 148% premium. If you have this set new in sealed box (NISB), price it accordingly.
• 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.
