LEGO Star Wars Jabba’s Sail Barge UCS.
25% off. Cheapest ever.
Minifigures alone are worth over $300

Pretty cool. 600 though wow.
Minifigs might be worth a bit but the ship is fugly. I prefer the non UCS.
They may cost over $300, but are they worth over $300?
As always, they are worth what people are willing to pay for it. Currently around $350 if you sell them individually.
As in second-hand. Is that because Lego doesn't sell them individually?
New I guess, I never sold any. You can see the prices on bricklink.
Looks like the Jabba sells for $347 on Amazon.
@cbrbargain: Just my two cents as a SW/AFOL. I really hate what minifig resale has done to the collectors market. 2nd hand markets (ebay/marketplace/BrickLink/BrickOwl etc) are littered with "Complete set - no minifigures" because desirable sets get stripped from shelves to flog the figures for usary prices. Affects availability of sets and skews their value. Even LEGO has cottoned on to this: I reckon the Darth Malak in the R2 set was done very deliberately to falsely inflate the value of this otherwise 'meh'-valued set.
The Captain-Rex Venator/microfighter debacle was a great example of how stuffed this is. From the collector side, LEGO promised an exclusive figure with a $1k set, and then released it months later in the cheapest set available. For the poor saps who wanted this figure but couldn't afford the set, they got flogged a Rex for 5-6 times what the microfighter set would later be available for.
I dunno what the answer is, but seeing non-collectors make a business out of re-selling fans back the products they couldn't initially find/afford seems to only be getting worse.
@cbrbargain: Hey not at all bud - supply and demand and all that. Scalping exists wherever demand outweighs supply.
It just saddens me because the 2nd hand market used to be a community of collectors. Now I see endless videos of greedy profiteers exiting the retail space with every last one of a desirable kit, and it makes me sick.
Serious questions for buyers, do you buy this for
1. Assemble it and put it on display
2. Assemble it and put it back in the box
3. Assemble and play with it, eventually mix up with other legos
4. For the kids to play, and let them mix up with other legos
5. Resell it later BNIB
I haven't bought this set specifically, but all my sets around this price are a combination of 1 and 2. Build, display, pack away (just in zip-loc bags though)! Then after a couple of years (to give me time to forget the build experience) I rotate them and get to build them again.
The most amazing ones like Rivendell I can't see myself ever taking apart unless we move house or something!
I see. When you dissemble back into the zip-loc bags, do you separate them into the original individual bags (A, B, C…)? I'm sure it's challenging to repack big sets like this, but if you don't pack according to the instructions pack, it will be more challenging to rebuild the set later
I used to throw it all in a ziploc bag together, but as you suggest, I absolutely hated rebuilding them. So now I get the instructions out and take them apart by bag number. Still not quite the same as a new set as sometimes there's 3-4 bags per number in a new set which will now be together, but close enough. I then put all the numbered small zip-loc bags into one large zip loc bag, label it and store them in a container till ready to build again.
Max Rebo alone is worth $300.
Wait how?
"Minifigures alone are worth over $300" ok.
