FOR 7140 [5.16 Mb]The LEGO Group acquired the rights to manufacture Star Wars sets in 1999. This marked the first time in the company's history that it would represent a story from another franchise. The first set was model 7101, a small diorama depicting the lightsaber duel between Qui-Gon Jinn and Darth Maul, to tie-in with the release of "Star Wars Episode I: The Phantom Menace." There have been many sets, spanning the movies, "Star Wars: The Clone Wars," and the extended universe, so for collectors, there is a wealth of choices on eBay.
While it is possible to buy LEGO bricks, buying sets is popular. This is particularly the case with branded themes, such as Star Wars. Sets vary in size, with some of the smallest containing around 50 pieces and some of the largest containing over 1,000 pieces. Some sets contain individual characters or components to build ships, such as the impressive LEGO Star Wars 7965: Millennium Falcon set, while other sets provide the pieces to recreate famous movie scenes, such as LEGO Star Wars 4501: Mos Eisley Cantina. The LEGO Star Wars theme comprises several series, and each series contains different sets containing a number of pieces.

8002 Destroyer Droid (2000) Some sets, such as the Ultimate Collector Series, are collectables, not toys. Also, there are general sets that do not tie-in with a particular movie or television series, such as Expanded Universe. There is a certain amount of crossover between series. For example, the Technic range includes a set for building a destroyer droid, a type of robot that also appears in a different design and scale in several prequel series sets. It also features well-known characters, such as Yoda and Darth Vader. Building, displaying, and playing with branded LEGO sets is a huge amount of fun for Star Wars fans of all ages. However, when maintained in a good condition, some sets have the potential to become incredibly valuable. Several features determine the value and desirability of LEGO sets, and it is important for collectors to be aware of these aspects. LEGO sets, regardless of their popularity, are only available for a limited time. Eventually, the company discontinues each set, at which point prices on the secondary market soar.
For example, in 1999, LEGO released set 7140. This iconic X-Wing Starfighter was one of the earliest Star Wars sets. There have been multiple iterations of the X-Wing since, but the earliest set is still desirable with collectors and generates high selling prices on the secondary market, according to the Brick Picker website, which focuses on LEGO investing. Many LEGO sets come with Star Wars minifigures, often called minifigs. For collectors, there is a good selection, representing well-known characters. Exclusive characters have increased desirability, such as the Jek Porkins from set 9493 X-Wing Starfighter. Many collectors look at the number of pieces in a set and assign a price per piece to determine the relative value. This simply involves taking the price of the set and dividing it by the number of pieces. Smaller sets and limited edition promotions tend to have a much higher price per piece, according to Brickset, the primary LEGO reference site. Additionally, the types of pieces are important.
If sets contain very rare and unusual molds, such as a spaceship carapace that is not available elsewhere or many bricks in a rare color, this makes the set important for people who cannibalize the pieces from various sets to make their own creations. Finding LEGO Star Wars sets on eBay is exceptionally easy; simply use the search bar that appears on every page. A general search, such as "LEGO Star Wars," returns many results, which is good when you are just browsing; but if you have a firm idea of what you want, search for a more specific term, such as "LEGO Death Star." If you know the set number, include that in your search. Employing filters allows you to focus the results based on requirements, such as price and condition.
