Crater Cruiser (1787-1) is a LEGO Space set released in 1995, currently averaging $63.94 used on BrickLink. It comes with 2 minifigures worth a combined $18.44. The set has retired from retail, so secondary market is the only option. The full parts inventory runs 85 pieces.

Part-out value

The minifigures account for about 29% of the set's value ($18.44 out of $63.94). 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 $180.00 vs $63.94 used — a 182% premium. If you have this set new in sealed box (NISB), price it accordingly.
  • This is a vintage set (1995). Condition of the box and instructions significantly affects value. A complete set with original box and instructions can sell for well above the average.
