  • Sealed copies sell for $254.19 vs $130.75 used — a 94% premium. If you have this set new in sealed box (NISB), price it accordingly.
  • Chef - White Torso with 4 Buttons and McDonald's Logo (Sticker), Red Legs, Red Cap ($21.84) 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.
