LEGO Star Wars Figures


LEGO Star Wars figures are possibly the most popular feature of Star Wars LEGO sets. Many fans of the Star Wars theme dedicate their time collecting just the mini figures that come with Star Wars LEGOs.

There are quite a few reason to target collecting LEGO Star Wars figures. Many toys based on the Star Wars films are very collectible and worth more money than what they originally sold for. This is true for the LEGO Star Wars themed sets as well. The LEGO Group has a tendency to only sell LEGO sets for a certain period of time. Then LEGO discontinues the set. If it is a particularly popular set, or becomes a popular set overtime, the price can inflate.

With the price of a Star Wars LEGO set inflating the prices of the mini figures inflate as well. Many Star Wars LEGO figures can go for as much as ten dollars a piece on popular auction sites. A great example of a rare star wars LEGO figure is the Jango Fett mini figure. LEGO Jango Fett is included in Jango Fett's Slave I LEGO set. This is the only LEGO set that includes the Jango Fett mini figure. Because of this, Jango Fett can sell for as much as $35 for just the mini figure on eBay.
Another very popular LEGO figures is the LEGO Asajj Ventress. Asajj Ventress was trained by Count Dooku himself and is very skilled with her light sabers. These light sabers came from Komari Vosa and were gifts from Count Dooku. The LEGO Asajj Ventress is included in the 7676 Star Wars LEGO Set.

One idea for finding LEGO Star Wars figures is by learning how to search eBay for those auctions that include rare LEGO sets. Many sellers sell in bulk because they simply do not know how to parse out their LEGO collections. With these bulk, or Lot, auctions, you can find an amazing deal for some of the more rare Star Wars LEGO sets.
