In the world of LEGO, rarity and value often go hand in hand. Certain pieces and sets, due to their limited production, exclusivity, and connection to popular franchises, can fetch hundreds to thousands of dollars. Here's a glimpse into some of the most valuable LEGO collectibles.
One of the rarest and most expensive LEGO figures is the 14K gold C-3PO minifigure, released in 2007 for Star Wars' 30th anniversary. Only five of these exquisite figurines were produced, making them highly sought after among collectors. If you're lucky enough to find one, you could expect to pay up to $200,000.
Another coveted item is the 14K gold Boba Fett minifigure. With only two copies ever produced, this piece is one of the rarest LEGO pieces of all time. Its rarity, combined with its connection to the iconic Star Wars character, means it can sell for an impressive $15,000.
The Inside Tour Gali Mask, given out at the LEGO Inside Tour 2015, is another rare and valuable collectible. Approximately 200 of these masks were produced, making it extremely collectible.
In the realm of Bionicle, the Kraahkan mask is one of the rarest and most desired masks, regularly commanding over $500 dollars.

The Ninjago Wooden Wu figure, produced as a movie prop for the 2017 Ninjago movie, is another one-of-a-kind piece of LEGO memorabilia, worth $104,500.
Rare LEGO pieces often hail from popular franchises. For example, the Spider-Man and Spider-Woman minifigs, handed out at the 2013 San Diego Comic-Con, are considered extremely collectible today, with prices ranging from $9,000 to $15,000.
The Mr. Gold minifigure, released as part of the series 10 blind bags, is a legend in the LEGO community. With only 5,000 copies made, it's rare and worth $7,500.
The rarest LEGO bricks are the 14K gold 2 x 4 bricks, produced for LEGO employees who worked for the company for at least 25 years. Only 10 of these bricks were produced, making them the epitome of rarity in the LEGO world.
