About Pirate Ship Ambush

It includes 9 minifigures with a combined resale value of $266.47 — that's 69% of the set's price in figures alone. The most valuable is Soldier of the Dead 1 at $56.24. For sellers buying complete sets to part out, the minifig value here makes this one worth considering.

Part-out value

Minifig value: $266.47 out of $383.69 total (69%). Over half the set's resale value is in the figures. Sellers parting this set out should list the minifigs individually on BrickLink — they'll earn more than bundling everything together.

Seller notes

  • Soldier of the Dead 1 ($56.24) is the most valuable minifig in this set. If you're buying this set secondhand, check that this figure is included — it's often the first one pulled by sellers who part out.
  • 9 minifigures at $266.47 combined value. That's a solid minifig haul — consider listing the figures individually on BrickLink where per-figure prices tend to be highest.
