This guide will give the LEGO enthusiast, collector and investor the most current prices of new and used minifigures released from 2000 and after. The highest valued minifigures from pre-2000 will also be included, as well as maxifigures, and vital information on counterfeits, as minifigures are being reproduced illegally in China and other parts of the world. Since their debut in 1978, LEGO minifigures have become the most iconic piece of the wildly popular toy line. Although small in stature, minifigures stand particularly tall as hot collector items. How hot? Consider the rare Mr. Gold (shown on the front cover), who has sold for $1,500 on the secondary market. Beautifully illustrated and amusing to page through, The Collectible LEGO Minifigure reveals why these pint-sized plastic powerhouses are the driving force in the LEGO Universe, whether collected for fun or profit.
