Really valuable answer there, thanks Exciter

 

Let me ask ask the question differently. 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.

It's new, therefore interesting, but still a guessing game.

[calmdahn]

Ah, I see. New = shiny 

 

Yeah i plan on doing my due diligence for that box of books I have.

If it's on the cover of a book then it would be rare, so that won't help its value.

I still own more books than I've sold, if that tells you anything.

Did you mean to say “wouldn’t be rare”?

[Huskers1236]

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.

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.

That's the same swinging movement as the bionicles with the gear in their back.... it's just having the light saber attached to the hands makes the forearms move around too. 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.

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???

That is freaking fantastic.

TOTALLY worth the absurd gear in his back for it to move like that.

Definitely buying this toy for my son.

I'll buy a few for myself.

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.

Agree with you there. I really want Snoke’s guards but that set is overpriced. It should have been $50.

From TheBrickFan

these look better, really like that shuttle!

Overpriced, still.

I won’t post to avoid spoilers but this year’s advent calendar seems really bad.

Nothing could be more LAME than last year's Star Wars advent calendar.

LEGO:  Hold my beer while we unveil this year's Star Wars advent calendar....

Was I the only one expecting a super cool regular ordinary R2-D2 with a Santa hat this year? That would of been great!! ?

Is that the "Sibling Makeout Chair" in the background of the Hoth Medical Chamber???

I think the addition of Rose is enough to throw off 98% of the buyers.

Star Wars 2018 advent calendar, coming to a clearance bin near you.

[t_mafia]

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?
