Sometimes, we discover an old box from our youth that has been lying undiscovered in the attic or at the back of our garage for years. If not, then go look now because you may have just been sitting on a gold mine!

The catalog of Star Wars LEGO minifigures includes some rare items, and with this scarcity comes a considerable price. So, check out our list, then search your collection, the bottom of the toy box, or any other out-of-the-way spots you might have, and see what you can find! You could be laughing all the way to the bank!

Classifying these minifigures is no mean feat. There are MANY conflicting Top 10 Lists on various sites. Some are RARE, some are simply EXPENSIVE, and some are a combination of both. The most valuable minifigure, for example, is a one-off, which also makes it especially rare! However, to share as many of these fascinating minifigs with you as possible, we chose not to list any of them twice. 

The Top 5 Most Expensive Minifigures

These are the minifigures that would change your life, or at least allow you to fly first class to Star Wars Celebration 2027 in Los Angeles!! All prices are accurate as of the time of writing and are in USD.

Solid 14 Karat Gold Boba Fett

This gorgeous little figure was part of a tri-figure giveaway pack alongside Sterling Silver and White versions of our favorite bounty hunter. At this point, there are only believed to be two in existence. Value: $20,491.00

Sterling Silver R2-D2

This is the first entry on the list for this little droid. He’s the perfect sidekick and demands top dollar. In solid Sterling Silver, only ten of these 2018 minifigures exist. Value: $29,659.00.

Bronze C-3PO

Anthony Daniels would argue that his character is one-of-a-kind, and this unique 2007 minifigure celebrating the 30th Anniversary of Star Wars proves him on the money. And oh, the possibility of finding one is three thousand seven hundred and twenty to one! Value: $33,435.00.

Platinum R2-D2

In 2018, LEGO figured that gold and silver had been ticked off the list, so why not go for platinum, a rare precious metal that is impervious to tarnish? And who better to mold out of rare metal than a rare droid with a rare penchant for trouble and saving Jedi lives? Value: $34,514.00

Sterling Silver C-3PO

Well, we are now at crazy money for a crazy-awesome minifig. LEGO produced a one-off solid sterling silver C-3PO minifigure as the prize in an exclusive raffle at Star Wars Celebration in 2007. The draw took place on the last day, and the winner is cashed up! Value: $35,592.00

The Top 5 Rarest Minifigures

These minifigures are THE RAREST, regardless of price. Yes, the above list also contains unique figures, some with only one or two ever in existence, hence their rarity and high price point. However, the following list identifies some other little gems that may be just as hard to find, and are every bit as much fun to see!

Darth Vader with Light-up Lightsaber

If you’re looking for this little Lord of the baddies, then you’ll have to have purchased the 2005 7263-1 TIE Fighter set. Either that, or you had to have been fortunate enough to be present at the International Toy Fair in Germany in 2005. Those were the only two places a collector could nab this unique piece for their collection. Value: $2,691.00.

George Lucas

The LEGO minifig of ‘The Maker’ is legendary and only given out to select employees of LEGO in Denmark, where it was designed and made. As such, this figure is RARE as it was never released to the public. Value: $2,697.00

Cloud City Boba Fett

Part of the iconic Episode V LEGO range, SW0107 is another extremely rare figure that was included in the 10123 Cloud City set. His rarity is due to the printed images on his arms and legs. Value: $3,461.00

Chrome Gold C-3PO

All of the Star Wars fandom went wild in 2007 to honor 30 years of our galaxy far, far away, and so did LEGO. They released this special edition C-3PO minifigure, and it was an instant hit!  Value: $4,471.00

Yoda Loves New York

The year was 2013, and the New York Toy Fair was in full swing with one must-have item for all Star Wars collectors. One of the smallest and CUTEST little LEGO minifigs ever made was released to the public in the form of Yoda (SW0465), and he was proudly sporting an ‘I ❤️ NY’ jersey on his torso, even though you couldn’t tell from his facial expressions! This is the rarest of rare, my friends! Value: $5,638
