Many years ago, when I was single and had money, I bought some lego kits and then —for reasons I can’t really recall— went on an eBay splurge on some Lego Minifigures.
I don’t think I was trying to build a collection, just realised that for a few quid (I think the most I paid was £3 + P&P) I could have some little fun lego people. I have a LOT of them but most of them are from common sets and are worth precisely as much as they cost at the time.
However, a couple of years ago I was trying to count up how many lego sets I have after my Mum bought me a Millennium Falcon set for my 50th birthday.
My searching across the web took me to Brick Economy which highlighted that some minifigures are now worth a reasonable amount of money.
Top tip: if you have a 14K Gold C-3PO (2007) Minifigurine, you might wanna get it insured ($300k!).
Turns out some of the ones I picked up all those years ago, on a whim, are now worth some money. Here’s the breakdown…
About £50 increase in a year! Jack’s in for a windfall when he’s…. 52! 😉
