About Armada Flagship

Armada Flagship (6280-1) is a LEGO Pirates set released in 1996, currently averaging $208.08 used on BrickLink. It comes with 3 minifigures worth a combined $76.35. The set has retired from retail, so secondary market is the only option. The full parts inventory runs 133 pieces.

Part-out value

The minifigures account for about 37% of the set's value ($76.35 out of $208.08). 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 $617.61 vs $208.08 used — a 197% premium. If you have this set new in sealed box (NISB), price it accordingly.
  • Imperial Armada - Red - Captain ($37.50) 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 (1996). Condition of the box and instructions significantly affects value. A complete set with original box and instructions can sell for well above the average.
