Seller notes

  • Sealed copies sell for $1847.35 vs $189.72 used — a 874% premium. If you have this set new in sealed box (NISB), price it accordingly.
  • This is a vintage set (1991). Condition of the box and instructions significantly affects value. A complete set with original box and instructions can sell for well above the average.
  • 7 minifigures at $36.66 combined value. That's a solid minifig haul — consider listing the figures individually on BrickLink where per-figure prices tend to be highest.
