Summary
- Some LEGO Star Wars minifigures are more valuable than the sets they came in, with prices far exceeding the original retail price.
- Rarity and exclusivity contribute to the high value of certain minifigures, such as the Darker-Haired Kanan Jarrus and the Shadow ARF Trooper.
- Figures from retired sets like the Cloud City model such as Boba Fett and promotional giveaways like the Chrome Gold C-3PO can fetch incredibly high prices among collectors.
Not all LEGO Star Wars minifigures are equal as some are far more expensive than others. Although there are a good number of whole LEGO sets with very high price tags, certain minifigures can become so valuable and coveted that they alone can far exceed the price of the model they originally came with. This is especially true of minifigures inspired by the galaxy far, far away with a wide range of characters spanning the entire Star Wars canon and timeline.
Currently, there are just over 1,300 unique LEGO Star Wars minifigures released since the start of the product line back in 1999. In 25 years, several figures have risen in value due to various levels of rarity and popularity across secondary markets such as eBay and the LEGO-specific marketplace known as BrickLink. While not every minifigure can be purchased to then be turned around for a bigger profit later on, there's a good number of minifigures that have achieved incredible value for collectors looking to sell and invest (or to just keep). To that end, here are the top 25 most expensive LEGO Star Wars minifigures of all time.

Star Wars Movies In Order: How To Watch Release Order, Chronologically & With The TV Shows
What's the best way to watch Star Wars? Here's everything you need to know to watch in release or timeline order, and how to include the TV shows.
25 Captain Rex (With Cloth Pauldron)
Captain Rex (With Cloth Pauldron) | sw0450 | $175.52 | 2012 |
2012 was the first release of a P2 Captain Rex LEGO minifigure that came with BARC Speeder with Sidecar (75012). While newer iterations of the minifigure have been released as recently as this year, this version notably comes with a cloth cauldron piece and special print details that have kept this Rex valuable years later. At present, this version of Captain Rex has an average value of just over $175.
24 Mace Windu (Light-Up Lightsaber)
Mace Windu | sw0133 | $176.78 | 2005 |
Released in 2005, the very first LEGO minifigure design for Mace Windu is naturally one of the most expensive figures of all time, having an average value of about $176. This is also the version that comes with a light-up lightsaber, a short-lived feature that once came with some of LEGO's very first Star Wars sets.
23 Princess Leia (Hoth)
Princess Leia | sw0113a | $194.64 | 2007 |
Released in 2007, a Hoth-inspired Princess Leia (with New Hope hair) was exclusively released with LEGO's Star Wars X-wing Fighter (6212). As one of Star Wars' most classic and unique minifigures, it makes sense that the figure has an average value of about $195.
22 Jango Fett
Jango Fett | sw0845 | $197.94 | 2017 |
Released in 2017, a newer iteration of Jango Fett is valued at just under $200, seeing as how the character is still a rarer figure overall. That said, older Jango Fett minifigures made by LEGO are far more valuable (also featured on this list).
21 Pre Vizla
Pre Vizla | sw0416 | $203.17 | 2012 |
Leader of the Mandalorian Death Watch, Pre Vizla was a major Clone Wars villain, a key rival of Obi-Wan Kenobi and a brief ally of Maul's before the former Sith ultimately killed him. However, a LEGO minifigure of the impressive villain with his unique printed helmet and half cape was only ever featured in the 2012 set Star Wars The Clone Wars Pre Vizsla's Mandalorian Fighter (9525). As such, LEGO's Pre Vizsla minifigure now has an average price of just over $200.
20 Queen Amidala
Queen Amidala | sw0387 | $224.78 | 2012 |
One of the most unique and iconic LEGO Star Wars minifigures of all time, 2012's Queen Amidala is quite impressive with custom molds for both the classic crown and hair pieces, as well as the bottom section depicting the Queen of Naboo's royal dress. Having only been released with 2012's Gungan Sub (9499), Queen Amidala has an average current value of just under $225.
19 Darth Malgus
Darth Malgus | sw0413 | $227.98 | 2012 |
Coming from The Old Republic MMO video game, Darth Malgus got the brick-built treatment in 2012 and was included with LEGO's Sith Fury-class Interceptor (9500). An impressive Sith Lord with custom molded pieces, it makes sense that the Malgus minifigure is still so valuable due to its unique rarity and popularity. Its current average value sits at just over $220.
18 Lando Calrissian (Betrayal At Cloud City)
Lando | sw0973 | $241.00 | 2018 |
Valued at an average price of around $240, this Lando Calrissian minifigure is quite rare, having been released as part of the Ultimate Collector Series' Betrayal at Cloud City (75222). Dressed in his classic baron administrator attire seen in The Empire Strikes Back, LEGO's original version of this Lando minfigure is far more expensive (and is featured further down the list).
17 Watto
Watto | sw0038 | $249.90 | 2001 |
There have been three different LEGO minifigures of the junkyard dealer Watto since The Phantom Menace. While the more recent two have far more detail, it's the very first that's the most valuable with its all-blue mold with an average price of about $250. Having been released in 2001, the first Watto minifigure came with Watto's Junkyard (7189), the build itself being a blue podracer along with a collection of parts from Watto's shop.
16 Commander Fox (With Gray Semicircle)
Commander Fox (With Gray Semicircle) | sw0202 | $281.33 | 2008 |
Another popular clone from The Clone Wars, Commander Fox is also in the top 25 most valuable Star Wars minifigures of all time. Featuring a Phase I helmet, this minifgure of Commander Fox was released in 2008, but was actually a reprinted version to include the gray semicircle on the torso that was missed in the first wave of released figures that came with LEGO Star Wars The Clone Wars Separatist Spider Droid (7681). Currently valued at $200, the original misprinted version is far more valuable (and included later in this list).
15 Darker Haired Kanan Jarrus (The Ghost)
Kanan Jarrus | sw0577 | $378.44 | 2014 |
Having been featured in 2014's The Ghost (75053), Kanan Jarrus is a leading character in Star Wars Rebels. However, this version of Kanan was only featured in this single set with an original retail price of $89.99. However, what makes this particular version of Kanan so valuable is the darker hair and eyebrows compared to reissues of the set and minifigure which gave him a lighter brown color instead, adding to the rarity and overall value of the character as the 10th most expensive LEGO Star Wars minifigure ever.
14 Ahsoka Tano (Rebels)
Ahsoka Tano | sw0759 | $333.81 | 2016 |
Modeled after her adult appearance in Star Wars Rebels, there was a significant period of time where the Ahsoka minifigure that came with 2016's Rebel Combat Frigate (75158) was the only version of the character that didn't have the controversial "Clone Wars Eyes". To that end, this unique Ahsoka figure quickly grew in value following the set's retirement to the point where it's now worth just below $350, even though other minifigure variants of Ahsoka have since been released over the years modeled after her Clone Wars season 7 appearances and more recently from the live-action Ahsoka series in 2023.
13 Female Padawan
Female Padawan | sw0519 | $348.36 | 2010 |
Another rare and most valuable LEGO Star Wars minifigure of all time, Female Padawan was released in 2010 with Yoda Chronicles Holocron Chamber, a 408-piece promotional set given to journalists to promote the premiere of The Yoda Chronicles animated series. To that end, one version of the figure was printed with smaller eyes while another with larger ones. As such, the one with the smaller eyes is the rarer miniature with an average value of $348.
12 Boba Fett (White)
Boba Fett White | sw0275 | $363.43 | 2010 |
Celebrating the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back, 2010 saw the release of a white-armored Boba Fett minifigure. Coming by itself in its own polybag, this variant of Boba Fett was modeled after the initial concept artwork when the armor was meant to be used for an Imperial commando. However, the color and changes came in when the decision was made for the armor to instead belong to the bounty hunter Boba Fett. As such, the all-white Boba Fett is a unique and very rare minifigure with an average value of about $360.
11 Darth Revan
Darth Revan | sw0547 | $384.84 | 2014 |
Hailing from the Knight of the Old Republic games, Darth Revan was a similar promotional polybag minifigure released in 2014. Made available for Star Wars Day (May the Fourth), Darth Revan was (and still is) a highly coveted minifigure of one of the most popular Star Wars characters from the non-canon Legends continuity. To that end, LEGO has recently released Revan's apprentice Darth Malak as a bonus minifgure for the 25th anniversary of LEGO Star Wars (found in R2-D2 75379).
10 Jango Fett (Jango Fett's Slave I)
Jango Fett | sw0053 | $412.65 | 2002 |
Released with Jango Fett's Slave I (7173) back in 2002, the Jango Fett minifigure features LEGO's original design for Mandalorian helmets where the black color of the visor came from the figure's black headpiece (commonly referred to by LEGO and collectors as the balaclava style). Seeing how future versions would abandon this style and this version only came in the aforementioned set, it makes sense why this figure's value has risen to such heights in the following decades.
9 Princess Leia (Tantive IV)
Princess Leia | sw0175a | $435.53 | 2009 |
Future and updated versions of Princess Leia have been released by LEGO in the years since 2009. However, this particular version of Princess Leia Organa from A New Hope was exclusive to 2009's Tantive IV (10198), making the character a valuable addition to collections due to its rarity with the smooth hair-piece (compared to others that feature more texture).
8 Shadow ARF Trooper
Shadow ARF Trooper | sw0315 | $450.52 | 2011 |
The Shadow ARF Trooper minifigure was part of a promotional polybag giveaway for LEGO's 2011 May 4th event celebrating the Star Wars franchise. As such, the minifigure was exclusive to those who spent enough money online to earn the giveaway, which has grown in value exponentially over the years.
7 Luke Skywalker (Cloud City)
Luke Skywalker | sw0103 | $471.25 | 2003 |
Luke Skywalker (sw0103) also came from Cloud City (10123), explaining his high value since 2003. Dressed in the tan jumpsuit he wore in Empire Strikes Back, this version of Luke still had the yellow head and hands, having been made before LEGO decided to give all minifigures from various licenses their characters' actual flesh tones.
6 Lando Calrissian (Cloud City)
Lando Calrissian | sw0105 | $515.03 | 2003 |
As a figure belonging to one of the most expensive LEGO Star Wars sets of all time on the secondary market, it's only logical that Lando Calrissian (sw0105) would also be quite valuable as well. Having an average value between $8,708 and $9,940 according to BrickEconomy, sealed models of Cloud City (10123) are incredibly valuable and coveted by collectors, and this includes their figures such as Lando and other figures from the model who've become more expensive than Lando himself.
