About Galaxy Commander

Galaxy Commander (6980-1) is a LEGO Space set released in 1983, currently averaging $137.31 used on BrickLink. It comes with 3 minifigures worth a combined $30.60. The set has retired from retail, so secondary market is the only option. The full parts inventory runs 116 pieces.

Part-out value

The minifigures account for about 22% of the set's value ($30.60 out of $137.31). 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 $2486.40 vs $137.31 used — a 1711% premium. If you have this set new in sealed box (NISB), price it accordingly.
  • This is a vintage set (1983). Condition of the box and instructions significantly affects value. A complete set with original box and instructions can sell for well above the average.
