Is there something about THIS C3-P0 choose your path book that makes it more investable than other similar ones? Is this minifig particularly rare? How can one tell if a book with gig or pieces is going to be collectible? Research past books and their included minifigures then compare to their current values. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andyposterfan Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 If it's on the cover of a book then it would be rare, so that won't help its value. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Huskers1236 Posted April 27, 2018 Share Posted April 27, 2018 Since the figure is the same as the droid from the Advent Calendar, I'm going with a big No, this won't be very valuable. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can one tell if a book with gig or pieces is going to be collectible? The books themselves, not valuable. The minifigure, less valuable than the retail of the book. I'd say most of the out of print ones, the minifigures are $8-$10. Books are heavy and pricy to ship and are worth less than items of equivalent size and weight. I'd yank all the minifigures out and donate the books. If you got them free, that's a pretty good starting position. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still, if you want to remove the gear and axle out the back, there are some gears that will be flopping around inside the housing they build the body around. They may not hold themselves in place very well without a short axle in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RKI_Fismo Posted April 29, 2018 Share Posted April 29, 2018 brickfanatics.com is saying that we're due for a new Tie Interceptor - set 75221 on June 1st. If so, that must make this year one of the best ever for OT sets. What next??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anakin's Starfighter is not too badly priced but who would want that set? The the sets are definitely WAY overpriced...especially the throne room! That Sandcrawler is at an awkward price point too. $100 would be a good price point for that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want Snoke’s guards but that set is overpriced. It should have been $50. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Unkar’s Thug Posted May 17, 2018 Share Posted May 17, 2018 (edited) From TheBrickFan these look better, really like that shuttle! Overpriced, still.

t_mafia Posted May 18, 2018 Share Posted May 18, 2018 The dropship and throne room are egregiously overpriced. Dropship should be 60 and throne room should be 50. Has lego announced that the 20% discount is built into RRP yet? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
