  • This is a vintage set (1991). Condition of the box and instructions significantly affects value. A complete set with original box and instructions can sell for well above the average.
  • 11 minifigures at $36.22 combined value. That's a solid minifig haul — consider listing the figures individually on BrickLink where per-figure prices tend to be highest.
