About Hoth Echo Base

Hoth Echo Base (7879-1) is a LEGO Star Wars set released in 2011, currently averaging $140.09 used on BrickLink. It comes with 7 minifigures worth a combined $72.71. The set has retired from retail, so secondary market is the only option. The full parts inventory runs 202 pieces.

Part-out value

Minifig value: $72.71 out of $140.09 total (52%). Over half the set's resale value is in the figures. Sellers parting this set out should list the minifigs individually on BrickLink — they'll earn more than bundling everything together.

Seller notes

  • This is a vintage set (2011). 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 $72.71 combined value. That's a solid minifig haul — consider listing the figures individually on BrickLink where per-figure prices tend to be highest.
