starwarsdk Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) Hi guys I was just wondering, which minifig would be the most expensive to buy to day... would it be the ones from the old spacesets, star wars, city or what. Personally I think the star wars figures is the most expensive, I haven't seen anyone more expensive than a SW figure... But I'm not that sure. Any help... for the most expensive and sought after figures. Henrik Edited June 10, 2009 by ImperialShadows Fixed things.

The Rancor Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Chrome 3PO, I'm pretty sure. However, orginal MISP first minifigs would also be very valuable. Quote
Eskallon Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 No way it would easily be the 24 carot gold c-3po. Oh and it is spelt expensive but I wont say any more as eb welcomes people from countries who dont speak english. Quote

Erdbeereis Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 They were 14 carat gold, and yes, expensive is spellt expensive !CopMike Unless you live in the US, then it would be spelled. Chrome C3po is probably the most expensive regular minifig. Quote
Big Pete Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 They were 14 carat gold, and yes, expensive is spellt expensive !CopMike spellt is not in the English dictionary ... Spelt is the correct spelling :P http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/spelt%5B2%5D Quote
Navy Trooper Fenson Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 I remember a sterling silver C-3PO figure which is a single copy. It was given away in a raffle while San-Diego Comic-Con. Quote
starwarsdk Posted June 10, 2009 Author Posted June 10, 2009 Anyone got some pictures of that gold c3po or silver c3po...... what´s the gold some give away thing or what.. ?? Henrik Quote
The Who Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) I remember a sterling silver C-3PO figure which is a single copy. It was given away in a raffle while San-Diego Comic-Con. I thought there was also a copper one given out? And as far as normal minifigs included in everyday sets, not exclusive figs, Watto and the Cloud City Boba Fett easily take the cake.

Eskallon Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) Well in the u.k it is spelt or spellled but I am an ideot and cant remember which any way her is a pic of the gold c-3po. I believe it was a free random giveaway in some sets back a while ago. Edited June 10, 2009 by Eskallon Quote

I believe it was a free random giveaway in some sets back a while ago.<snip> Actually, no, that is the solid 14 carat C-3PO, which there were only 5 of. The chrome gold one had 10,000 copies of the fig randomly sent out. Quote
KimT Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 This guy is pretty expensive. You can get him for around 400 USD on Bricklink right now. That's a little overpriced. I had one that I got offered 150 USD for though. I gave it to a great friend of mine... that's being friendly Quote
UserNameInvalid Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 This guy is pretty expensive. Whats so special about him? I mean, why is this bloke so expensive? And what makes a minifig expensive? (Not talking about chromies, goldies, or silvies) I mean, some are very rare, only ever appeared in one set and look nice but are cheap as chips. Please enlighten... *puzzled* Quote
KimT Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Whats so special about him? I mean, why is this bloke so expensive? The ultra rare Maersk-blue helmet. Quote
ILikePi Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 (edited) The ultra rare Maersk-blue helmet. A plastic helmet is worth $400? I think that the most expensive figure are those gold C-3POs. For regular minifigs that can be found in sets, I think that Cloud City Boba Fett and Greedo are some of the most expensive. EDIT: Fixed a typo... Edited June 11, 2009 by ILikePi Quote
The Who Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 For regular minifigs that can be found in sets, I think that Cloud City Boba Fett and Greedo are some of the mose expensive. And Watto. I'm proud to say that I have Greedo, (did have two, now only one) Watto, and I'm about to buy an entire Cloud City set from a friend of mine, who is the one I traded my other Greedo to, and he also has a Watto. Luckily, he wants to sell his whole collection, mainly SW, and I'm in the market. Quote
Capt. Kirk Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Regarding the 14 carat C-3PO and the Maersk MiniFig,... I think C-3PO - Chrome Gold (SW 30th Anniversary Edition) is one of the expensived MiniFigs around at the moment. Quote
Dadster Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 Don't forget Jango Fett - unless his cost has come down... Never got in the hundreds, but he was still pretty hard to come by, and thus pretty expensive. Quote
Capt. Kirk Posted June 10, 2009 Posted June 10, 2009 A plastic helmet is worth $400? --> I understand you remark. And in this case is really for the helmet that you paid. But most of the time you pay because it's color or special accessories on the minifigure. And some parts concerning their size are way too overprized. For example if you would buy a minifigure with white pigtails or one with old red knight visor or ... I think that the most expensive figure are those gold C-3POs. --> No doubt !!! For regular minifigs that can be found in sets, I think that Cloud City Boba Fett and Greedo are some of the mose expensive. --> Those are still "ok" if you see that you pay 25USD for a single hair piece like the white pigtails (the cheapest one). - Boba Fett - Greedo Quote
ILikePi Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) --> Those are still "ok" if you see that you pay 25USD for a single hair piece like the white pigtails (the cheapest one).- Boba Fett - Greedo A Cloud City printed Boba Fett is around $70. Edited June 11, 2009 by ILikePi Quote
Capt. Kirk Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 A Cloud City printed Boba Fett is around $70. --> Oops, wrong link... I was already surprised to see it at this prize (my link). Quote
daxflame680 Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 The ultra rare Maersk-blue helmet. Sounds like it'd be easier to just paint a red one, since it's worth almost $400 less A Cloud City printed Boba Fett is around $70. Cloud City Lando also sells for quite a bit. He doesn't seem to be worth $50, since there's a better version of him coming out in the Mon Calamari Cruiser Quote

The Who Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 All of these are the main expensive ones, right? Chrome Gold C-3PO Greedo Cloud City Boba Fett Cloud City Lando Watto Jango Fett Maersk Construction Worker I know there are more, but I can't really think of them off the top of my head. Quote
ILikePi Posted June 11, 2009 Posted June 11, 2009 (edited) I found a few more while searching for the highest price of minifigs on BrickLink (most of these are $20+): 50 Year Anniversary Minifig Classic - Knights Tournament Knight Black, Black Legs with Red Hips, Light Gray Helmet, Black Visor The Joker Geonosian With Wings Princess Leia Mace Windu, Non-Light-Up Emperor Palpatine (Imperial Inspection) Ninja - Green Princess Princess Leia (Cloud City) Chancellor Palpatine Luminara Unduli with Light-Up Lightsaber Complete Assembly Killer Croc Senate Commando Jabba the Hutt (Complete Assembly) More here: http://www.bricklink.com/search.asp?pg=1&a...mp;searchSort=B EDIT: I'll add some expensive used minifigs later.
