This minifigure is made up from three pieces (legs, torso and head), the legs and torso are just generic pieces and the head is what you would expect with a Yoda minifigure.

LEGO Moulding Machines Description

You made it to number 1 in our Most Expensive LEGO® Sets list, are you surprised to see the LEGO® Moulding Machines set at the top with being worth not far off $7,000! This LEGO® set was given out to 68 lucky attendees for the LEGO® Inside Tour in 2011.

The set is incredibly unique and clearly stands out amongst all the other LEGO® Inside Tour sets that were given out at the end of the tours. It is a genius idea to have the old and new moulding machines, this set represents the growth and success LEGO® have work hard to get which only adds to the rarity and exclusiveness of the set which ultimately will continue to push the value higher and higher.

Conclusion

I hope you found this post useful and interesting to read as it was for me to write, were there any sets in the list that were surprised to see or perhaps were there some you sets you thought may make it on our list?

Unsurprisingly the LEGO® exclusive and promotional sets appeared a lot on the list and I am excited to see what new sets LEGO® give out on the future LEGO® Inside Tours and events. LEGO® is fun but there are some serious collectors out there who would pay good money to have an exclusive set in their collection and its great for the lucky individuals who receive the gifted sets too.

To conclude, LEGO® have produces hundreds of sets over the years but very few will reach a value such as ones of this list and as LEGO® gets bigger we will see more mass production which reduces the “rarity” factor that drives the value of sets up. In the future I expect to see the promotional and exclusive sets to increase in value even more than we have seen in the past.
