About Mirkwood Elf Army

It includes 5 minifigures with a combined resale value of $96.33 — that's 72% of the set's price in figures alone. The most valuable is Thranduil at $29.98. For sellers buying complete sets to part out, the minifig value here makes this one worth considering.

Part-out value

Minifig value: $96.33 out of $134.59 total (72%). 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

  • Sealed copies sell for $203.07 vs $134.59 used — a 51% premium. If you have this set new in sealed box (NISB), price it accordingly.
  • Thranduil ($29.98) 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.
  • 5 minifigures at $96.33 combined value. That's a solid minifig haul — consider listing the figures individually on BrickLink where per-figure prices tend to be highest.
