1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 From time to time I find something odd/funny/interesting at Bricklink, and I thought, why not share it? Furthermore, wouldn't it be interesting for everyone to share all these amusing finds? I'll start by posting a few things. Using this Bricklink search, selecting Item Type X, and selecting Sort by "Highest Price", you will see the most expensive item X things on Bricklink. (I would post the specific searches but they don't generate a specific hyperlink). As a result of this, I have found some very expensive things on BL: Most expensive minifigure (999 euros) Most expensive set ($10,000) Most expensive part ($1,700) Most expensive "modern era" part ($550) Most expensive "unsorted lot" ($20,000, a complete Lego collection) Most expensive box ($250) (there are other more expensive ones, but all from users with 0 feedback and only one item on sale, the most expensive of which is this one at about $1700) Most expensive instructions ($500) Most expensive catalog (90 euros) Most expensive gear (GBP 17,420, for a SW promo item) Most expensive book ($620 for the Collector's Guide #666 ) Based on this data, we can conclude that at approximately $27,000, the SW promo item (gear) is the most expensive item on Bricklink. So, have you found anything interesting on Bricklink, eBay, Amazon, or anywhere else? Quote
CP5670 Posted September 14, 2011 Posted September 14, 2011 Great finds. Based on this data, we can conclude that at approximately $27,000, the SW promo item (gear) is the most expensive item on Bricklink. I love the clearance sale on that one. It's 33% off! Quote
brickmack Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 On Ebay I once saw a Classic Space minifigure (Advertised as an original blue one, though at least the helmet is modern) for $400. Quote
Mrlegoninja Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Oh, bricklink. The seller can't be serious requesting 10,000 dollars for a 73 piece set! Quote
Weil Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Oh, bricklink. The seller can't be serious requesting 10,000 dollars for a 73 piece set! None of the pieces are even particularly rare are they? They are all totally mad. Quote
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 Great finds. I love the clearance sale on that one. It's 33% off! A definite bargain! Quote
AndyC Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 None of the pieces are even particularly rare are they? I think that's mostly a case of "I have this set, I don't really want to sell it but I like to keep everything in my Bricklink inventory" Quote
Niku Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Great finds. I love the clearance sale on that one. It's 33% off! Now is affordable. Quote
prateek Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Not really Lego, but I saw this guy on Craigslist selling used Megabloks for over retail Quote
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 This is the one of the few white Boba Fett keychains I have ever seen for sale. Supposedly only about 100 made and given to Lego employees. Price extremely prohibitive. Absolute rarity Also, a few days ago there was a MISB 6990 on Bricklink, which is very unusual. Apparently, it was sold at $1,300! Quote
fyrmedhatt Posted September 15, 2011 Posted September 15, 2011 Most expensive box ($250) (there are other more expensive ones, but all from users with 0 feedback and only one item on sale, the most expensive of which is this one at about $1700) The Maersk box actually appears to be the sealed set, not just the box, it's just in the wrong category. The translation of the text is something like: "It has never been out of the box". At 1700 dollars its still a doozy, but in line with other sealed copies of the set. Anyways I have fun finding these kind of things myself, so many of them are completely unreasonable. What about these: Complete Bionicle for $18000!!! - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Lego-Bionicles-Collection-215-Sets-2001-2007-More-/320723215034?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item4aac97e2ba The worlds most expensive Duplo set: http://www.ebay.com/itm/LEGO-DUPLO-AIRPORT-HELICOPTER-RESCUE-TOY-LOT-VEHICL-SET-/230669692755?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35b4fc2f53#ht_500wt_1180 Star Wars minifigs: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BIGGEST-LOT-LEGO-STAR-WARS-166-MINIFIG-MINIFIGURES-PEOPLE-RARE-/170695510101?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27be3ec855#ht_645wt_1398 Quote
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted September 15, 2011 Author Posted September 15, 2011 (edited) Star Wars minifigs: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BIGGEST-LOT-LEGO-STAR-WARS-166-MINIFIG-MINIFIGURES-PEOPLE-RARE-/170695510101?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27be3ec855#ht_645wt_1398 That collection is sweet. At $2,900 and 166 figures, I wonder if it's really worth that. It does have some sealed figures, including the chrome C-3PO. I don't think it'll ever sell though. Huge minifigure lots as expensive as that one rarely ever get sold. I remember seeing a guy who was selling the almost complete Batman minifigure collection, at around $350. I think he never sold it. Edit: Found this incredible Darth Vader "megafigure" display. At 5K... What wouldn't I do if I was a millionaire? Edited September 15, 2011 by johnnyvgoode Quote
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted September 16, 2011 Author Posted September 16, 2011 Found a few other huge display "minifigures" today: Ferrari Display Figure Johnny Thunder Display Figure Charles Lightning Display Figure I have also seen some Ninjago display figures for sale, although none too recently. I, for one, wouldn't pay those crazy prices for them. Quote
Big Cam Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 This thread is quite humorous, I like the cars for sale on bricklink that are not even LEGO. Quote

Forgive my ignorance, but I thought they were from the "pre-brick" era of Lego. Aren't they? Got a link to those? Here. Quote
Donut Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 fyrmedhatt has already mentioned some of these, but here's the rest of the most expensive LEGO on ebay right now. Quote
Brickity Posted September 16, 2011 Posted September 16, 2011 (edited) Oh my god, I hope they actually made a mistake while setting the prices! It's good to get some money from rare stuff, but I mean, that's super ridiculous! (Yeah, ridiculous for me, not for millionaires) 10,000 dollars for 73 common lego pieces, seriously? Ha-ha Edited September 16, 2011 by Otherworld Quote
Peppermint_M Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Forgive my ignorance, but I thought they were from the "pre-brick" era of Lego. Aren't they? Here. Thanks for the link, indeed, those are the toy cars LEGO produced at one point. It may have been at the same time as the brick, as I think they may have been in the original town plan (I am away from my Big Lego Book, so I couldn't say for certain. Also, these small cars came in clear cases with Lego studs on the top. Once I get my book (it is at home, heh) I can say for certain. Quote
CP5670 Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 Also, a few days ago there was a MISB 6990 on Bricklink, which is very unusual. Apparently, it was sold at $1,300! Did it actually sell at that price or was it just listed? I got one of those for $260 off ebay only 2 or 3 years ago. Quote

Just out of curiosity, how did you manage to get a sealed one so cheap? Those are the prices that they are selling the good used ones at right now. Quote

Those are the prices that they are selling the good used ones at right now. I think I just got lucky. It was a slow time of the year for ebay shopping and the item only had one or two other bids. I plan to integrate into it the rest of my monorail layout at some point. Quote
K-Nut Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 A while back, I saw someone on Bricklink was selling a Fabuland figure with the status saying it was the head only. It was still full price, though. Quote

That's probably the best Lego eBay deal I've ever heard of. Quote
Peppermint_M Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Ok, I checked my Lego book. They made cars in 1958 and they did come in the little clear boxes with studs on top. The original town plan set had cars, trees and people that were not brick compatible. Quote
