Thanos75 Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 I saw this at Target today. It's my favorite of the whole line so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CosmicSpeed Posted July 25, 2018 Share Posted July 25, 2018 (edited) Ive built this. Its alright, but I wish they would have given the eyes better treatment, like the stormtroopers/Phasma. This one just looks too Stewie Griffin. I prefer models with hair details. Edited July 25, 2018 by CosmicSpeed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oh my goodness, it does look like Stewie as Vader. Haha. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbt Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Lego Brickheadz have had a bit of an oddball reputation recently.. with end-of-year (2018) rumors swirling about the termination of the product line which was promptly followed by (not only) the continuation of the product, but the current secondary-market frenzy of the exclusive The Lego Movie 2 models. It's hard to argue that this specific niche of LEGO collectible lacks, at least in part, the ability to turn the sticker price into a bit of return though there are plenty of examples where this is simply not the case as well. I wanted to get some insight from you fine folks as I can't seem to get off the fence on this one.. Shop-Lego currently has the Brickheadz Darth Vader listed at a discount price of 7.99, 20% markdown from it's retail price of $9.99. I have been examining the current market prices of the past Brickheadz Star Wars sets, and for the most part, I am seeing a nice safe shelf-price range of 13-19 currently for the average model (not including the high-demand items such as Boba Fett) that have come and gone before.. Not only does there seem to be a markup of at least 40-50% once they are no longer available via retail, this particular character is a mainstay original character--I mean it's Darth right? What Brickheadz Star Wars collection would be complete without this guy? The set is also incredibly AESTHETICALLY pleasing in my opinion as they captured the classic character quite well. I honestly feel at this point that the set is currently undervalued but I want more opinion as I am not really a savvy collector of this line of LEGO. How do others feel about this? cheers 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belac Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 I'm inclined to agree. Darth will prob do alright. 8$ buy in not great but not bad. [ insert shiny #sticker joke here ] 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
$20 on joe vs dan Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 BHz are an Enigma compared to other Lego series...and the recent surprise of the Mice and LM2 "exclusives" have knocked more than a few resellers off their fences...the retirement rumors also has discounted BHz getting arm sweeped which gives the perception of becoming scarce. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cheese Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 Since being no longer available in UK, Vader and Stormtrooper are going for £50 a pair. Will steadily increase as time goes by 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Val-E Posted February 21, 2019 Share Posted February 21, 2019 In Europe, that´s armsweep price and Groot even more so. I guess they still have a warehouse full in the US so the outlook might not be so good. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
