Fun with LEGO Star Wars Figures
Since 1999 The LEGO Group has been producing licensed Star Wars building block toys. LEGO building blocks were already a favorite but with the introduction of the Star Wars line of building blocks LEGO has enjoyed a huge crossover of fans from the Star Wars series of films.
Arguably the most popular feature of the Star Wars building block sets are the LEGO Star Wars figures that are included in most sets. These LEGO mini figures include such popular characters as Anakin Skywalker, Darth Vader, Han Solo and even Luke Skywalker himself. It can be very thrilling for Star Wars fans to be able to recreate scenes from the popular films. For instance Darth Vader’s Transformation is a set that includes a LEGO Darth Vader being transformed from a LEGO Anakin Skywalker. Very cool!
Many of the included Star Wars LEGO mini figures are extremely rare and, therefore, valuable. An example of a rather rare LEGO Star Wars minifigure is the Jango Fett LEGO minifig that is included with the Jango Fett’s Slave I set. There are a few different versions of the Slave I starship that Boba Fett and Jango Fett made famous in the films but Jango Fett’s version is pretty rare and fetches prices in the $200-$300 area. This makes for a very difficult LEGO set to acquire if you do not have the money to spend on your LEGO Star Wars hobby! Because of this many fans settle for just the inluded minifigures. The Jango Fett’s Slave I set includes two minifigures, one being Jango Fett himself and the other being a young version of Boba Fett. These two mini figures combined can sell on auction sites like eBay for as much as $70! Very expensive for two plastic toy figures but fans love them none the less.
Because of the super high prices some of the LEGO Star Wars sets, many fans are happy with just collecting the LEGO Star Wars figures.
