Seller notes

  • Sealed copies sell for $1399.99 vs $370.14 used — a 278% premium. If you have this set new in sealed box (NISB), price it accordingly.
  • This is a vintage set (1989). Condition of the box and instructions significantly affects value. A complete set with original box and instructions can sell for well above the average.
  • 8 minifigures at $35.07 combined value. That's a solid minifig haul — consider listing the figures individually on BrickLink where per-figure prices tend to be highest.
