If this is any indication, I could have been a Lego millionaire.

Good luck getting that price...

It’s a scam. Any knowledgeable Lego fan knows these guys were extremely common and not rare at all. Even with the gold on the torso still present, I’d say it’s worth maybe $5-7 at most. $200 my square plastic foot.

What? Those are, like, extremely common and not at all worth a quarter of that. I’ve got like 10 just  with the lettering still intact myself.

Agreed. Probably fake accounts to drive up the price.

I would argue them being put together constitutes “played with” condition. Yet it doesn’t seem much better than this contemporary less iconic Minifigure that I used to always play with and also could be a new one passed off as a vintage one. The pieces are the same so there is no way to know.

There are minor differences in the helmet mold (new one is thicker), plus the inside of the torso is different on new ones. But yeah, this Ebay listing is full of crap.

No way to tell through thick plastic.

Also, their shirts don't have tri tone racing stripes like my little plastic friend there. He came with a cargo shipment facility set and I still have the original cabover pickup I first saw him seated in. I didn't know it at the time but it was a dead ringer for a Jeep FC.

As I keep telling my boys, something is only worth as much as somebody is willing to pay for it.

I probably have a few of those in my garbage can full of Legos in storage. I have a metric fuckton of Legos.

I had the first Star Wars toys. They were in excellent condition. Then the house burned down.

Too risky, plus he’s not rare.

Some of the collector series minifigs are worth a little bit. My most valuable minifigure is a 2002 Spiderman in dark blue. Worth about $20.

‘ Zactly. There may be  a sucker b orn every minute, but it’s probably going to take a few dozen hours to come up with one dense enough to pay that kind of price.

I’m guessing the market is pretty thin on stuff like this.  Always remember , don’t play with them!
