Darth Vader (Bacta Tank) (sw0981) sells for around $28.11 on BrickLink and was only available in one set (Darth Vader's Castle). For sellers, that single-set exclusivity is what keeps the price above the Star Wars theme average of $22.17. It's not old enough to be scarce yet, but if the set has retired, expect gradual appreciation.
The LEGO Darth Vader (Bacta Tank) (sw0981) is worth $28.11 used and $29.83 new/sealed on average, based on BrickLink sales data from the last 6 months. Prices range from $19.99 to $41.27 depending on condition. Completeness (all accessories included) and print condition are the biggest factors affecting price.
Darth Vader (Bacta Tank) appears in 1 set: Darth Vader's Castle (75251-1, ~$186.14). Since it was only in one set, it can't be sourced elsewhere. That scarcity is reflected in the price.
Look for the BrickLink ID sw0981. It's the definitive identifier for this figure. Darth Vader (Bacta Tank) is made up of 4 parts (a standard minifigure assembly). The parts breakdown on this page shows each component with colors. If you have a loose figure and aren't sure what it is, the brick'em scanner can identify it from a photo in a few seconds.
List it individually on BrickLink with the ID sw0981. Buyers search by part number and will find it. Include clear photos showing condition. At $28.11, it's worth the time to list separately rather than bundling. If you have several Star Wars figures, listing them all at once saves on the per-item effort.
At $28.11 average, yes. Buyers at this price point expect a complete figure with all accessories, no major scratches on printed elements, and tight joints. Minor play wear is generally acceptable, but cracked or heavily scratched torso prints will drop the price below average. If you have the figure new/sealed (averaging $29.83), keep it protected. The premium for mint condition is significant.
