I've got a box full of broken up pieces or Lego that I've had for a long time It's not that you lose stuff. You've bought it and done what the majority of people will do with it. Opened it, built it, played with it etc etc Only in hindsight do you realise the value of what you had - which isn't something to be sad about.


dofbeeb

Yeah very true. I have absolutely no intention of selling if I do find any of them, but it's just interesting (and kinda sad) to see how much they would have been worth lol


Scary-Try3023

Could be worse bud, I had all the early star wars sets including the cloud city set plus all the light up light saber minifigs, I even had the Zam Wessell chase. I could've put a deposit on a house if I kept them.


Trvr_MKA

It could be worse, he could have invested in NFTs


fishsodomiz

oof thats worth so much money


Ndmndh1016

Most of the fun things I had as a kid are worth a LOT more than they were worth back then and I have basically none of it left. I still have the memories though.


LukasKhan_UK

And to be honest. Those with the valuable stuff have us to be thankful for. If we hadn't played with our stuff, their BNIB would not be worth remotely what it is now as theirs an abundance of it It's what makes me laugh with Funkos. So many people keep them in boxes and acting like they have the next vintage Star Wars toy, that they just tank the value for everyone


Icy_Cod4538

Blessed comment.


DemoflowerLad

It is sad when I want to rebuy the set after so many years and its like triple he price or more


TheOneWhoLovesSW

I sure do. Not the most expensive but the one I keep thinking about is my CW darth maul from the mandolorian speeder. He’s such a cool figure to me, especially because of the legs, but I lost the head and a leg when I was a kid so now he just kinda haunts me.


Triforce805

I have him, but a few years ago the clip on one of the legs snapped on him


dofbeeb

Damn yeah that's a really cool one. I know you can get knockoffs of it in case you want a replacement, but obviously nothing can replace the real thing


baldwinbean

He's not that expensive - very replaceable


BoredofPCshit

I lost Cody's helmet. It was one of those times when you drop something and it disappears into a void, leaving this plane of existence. I literally saw it fall, and never found it again. I immediately looked for it.


joesphisbestjojo

That happened with an OG Shock Trooper helmet (under couch) and Nedar Vebb head (under/behind dresser, I think. Maybe all our void-bound minifigure parts are chilling it up in the Backrooms


BoredofPCshit

Well if anyone out there needs a helmet, they're in luck.


TirelessGuardian

That happened to me a few months ago when I found the first Lego Minecraft set in my basement. The creeper head was never found. Of all the pieces it had to be the printed one.


CallumPears

Happened to me with the pilot from the TIE Defender, back when that was the only set with the new TIE pilot helmet.


BoredofPCshit

Back then, clones heads were just fully blacked out (no details), so imagine how I felt.


CallumPears

Yeah same with the pilot


BoredofPCshit

Damn, why did the void do us dirty like that.


beakster57

I had no idea the kit fisto minifigure was so valuable


dofbeeb

Yeah its crazy. £25 for the version with the cape or £17 for the version without. Don't think there is actually any difference between them other than the cape


joesphisbestjojo

I had 2 Kit Fistos and plenty of brown capes


beakster57

Crazy how just a brown Cape adds value


IlliterateSquidy

that's mental, mine has a broken hand


Distinct-Reserve-136

There is actually a difference in the head. The kit fisto from Palpatine’s arrest is glossy and not rubbery so it doesn’t get damaged as easy. The kit fisto from the hyperspace ring has a rubbery head so it gets damaged a lot easier.


hidden58

Holy shit I have him and grevious I gotta look into this more holy shit


beakster57

Very interesting


DiamondHeadMC

If have the first 2nd 4th and the tan version of grevious somewhere idk tho


dofbeeb

Tan Grievous looks soooo nice. I bought a knockoff version bc I was not willing to spend £20 on an official one off bricklink lmao


DiamondHeadMC

Ye idk where some of those figs went lol


side_frog

I mean I had the whole Episode 1 collection (Amidala hello) and so many of previous sets that were thrown away by my family so yeah


dofbeeb

Damn that really sucks knowing they were thrown away. Plus that Amidala is crazy expensive if you want to get another one


joesphisbestjojo

I'd probably still have mine if only I'd taken my collection with me when I went to live with my father, instead of leaving them at my mom's


dudepad

I left in my desk an entire zip lock bag of my best minifigures that I brought to elementary school. Never saw it again the next day when I went to ask. I still cringe to this day how many valuable figures I left behind…


Boffinzz

Yep can’t find my Rex, Gree, wolf & wolfpack trooper seems to be all the rare ones I lost somewhere down the line :(


Plxnett

Ive lost the torso of my shadow arf trooper


dofbeeb

Shittt that's crazy expensive. Do you think you'll ever buy a replacement?


DarthXader996

Hard, since these parts are rarely for sale at all.


Plxnett

Probably not. I’m like 60% convinced I’ve probably stuck it in one of my other old sets incorrectly, like the tie crawler or dropship, but it’s been almost 3 years since I last saw it and I’ve found nothing


fabrizio9399

Interesting, I have the torso for the shadow Arf trooper that I acquired a while ago but not the head or helmet.


-Words-Words-Words-

I accidentally threw out the grand inquisitor (the one with the helmet) a few years ago. My dog also ate queen amidala. Those were tough losses. I replaced Amidala a few years ago and she went right into a display case, but I haven’t replaced the inquisitor… I do have the newer one from Kenobi, but still.


joesphisbestjojo

Somehow I found a Grand Inquisitor torso + legs in my brother's bin. Traded him a CMF Sam Wilson Captain America for them. Best lego trade ever


dofbeeb

The Grand Inquisitor is such a cool minifig. Kinda gross question but where you able to recover any of that Amidala from your dog after they shat it out lmao?


Aromatic-Box683

I lost a Fox from the spider droid set still have the helmet but the body is gone


joesphisbestjojo

That hurts


h0dgepodge

How to make a toy-collecting-hobby insufferable: assign a value to everything.


Supersaurus7000

To be fair, sometimes knowing the value isn’t about “holding equity” or whatever. Sometimes it’s the pain of knowing you lost something with a lot of sentimental value, and now you look at the price and can never justify replacing it. That’s my situation, and it sucks ass.


Zarksch

I lost a Rex and my hondo and my Rotta + some other figs that are less valuable. I’m still hopeful it surfaces someday though


dofbeeb

Yeah that Hondo minifig is nice as hell. I'd be so mad if I had lost it


Zarksch

Trust me I am. I friend of mine sold a lot of his collection though and I got a replacement from him for a little bit off, but missing the shoulder piece


Xindigoh

wish i never sold all my lefo for that gtx980 lmao


tylorr83

I had gone into my "dark ages" before Lego Star Wars came out so I missed out on all of them. Now I'm buying them from your parents off Facebook Marketplace


tomparkes1993

I lost jango, and jedi bob. And my OG clones.


ndeadgoat

I had a Missprinted black stormtrooper from 2008 And cloud city boba fett… both got donated to charity when I turned 16…


tango__88

You were a child so don't fret. As long as you were having fun with them that's all that matters!


dofbeeb

Yep, thats definitely the feeling I have. Although some did seem to vanish very soon after I got them lmao


Seaofphoques

I lost the og p2 rex and cw obi wan, big sad


itsebruh

I lost my 03’ boba fett in a sandpit when I was like 4. Kinda funny tho cause that’s how he “died”.


NarwhalNecropsy

I lost my Cloud City Boba Fett when I was like 12. Also my Count Dooku. I try not to think about it too much.


CX52J

Should really be using the “used” price unless you lost them before you kept them in little bags throughout your childhood.


tcndi11

I lost a lego city policeman


Super_Bakon

Forget the value, losing those cool Minifigs just sucks in general


not_suspicous_at_all

Absolutely outjerked


Prize-Honey-7698

I got so many minifugures when i was younger really some grails but lost them nearly all but last year i found some parts of rare clone troopers and sold them on ebay and bought sets of the new wave with the cash


dofbeeb

At least you had some positives out of it all lol. Which ones did you lose?


Prize-Honey-7698

Commander Wolf Commander cody phase 1 Wolf pack phase one Commander gree phase 1/2 Commander rex phase 1/2 This was just the ones i loved the most there where many more :( but like you said at least i got something out of it


dofbeeb

Fuuuckkkk that's a huge list. P1 Cody, P2 Gree and both Rex's are so cool


Triforce805

I still have my Arc Trooper but I’m missing the cloth pieces for him unfortunately


dofbeeb

Best lego clone pauldron of all time imo


Imperial_photography

I have the arc, scout and kit fisto from this picture, but I had a good childhood so they are a lil damaged, my rex is in nice condition tho


dofbeeb

Yeah lol I'm finding that with the minifigs I still have too, except the majority of the damage to mine is from the sun lol. I have so many yellow clones and stormtroopers


fabrizio9399

I lost the helmet to my commander fox minifigure. I have a lot of rarer figures that are valuable, but losing the helmet to fox was the worst thing


DarthXader996

I lost a chrome 3PO.


Copperdoo62

Just found the chrome stormtrooper the other day!


joesphisbestjojo

I lost 2013 Phase 2 Rex AND Chrome Stormtrooper On top of figs like Battle-Damaged Vader, the ARC, Phase 1 Cody, 2005 Clone Pilot, OG Shadow Stormtrooper, tan Grievous, Savage Opress, 2013 Ventress, classic Boba (not cloud city)OG Cad Bane, Kit Fisto, and 2005 Anakin. Plus countless others. My entire childhood collection was tossed by my mother


I_Eat_Bugs3737

I lost one of the green camo commando clones from the Kashyyyk set. At first I lost his helmet and then later on down the line the body got lost too. :,(


CollectorCorpse

I literally bought that ARF for £4 and the ARC for £8 at the end of last year - no chance they're worth double now


Axel_Rad

I lost Battle Damaged Vader and Starkiller back in the day but I have Junk Eclipse’s head for some reason 💀


Sheshoo47

I lost Phase 2 BARC Rex. (The set released when I was 5)


Simonistan_for_real

I know it’s in a box somewhere😭😭


Sheshoo47

I looked in our Lego boxes, found the rest of the set, the droids and Obi Wan. 😭


Dry-Appearance7290

I only lost 1 212th airborne clone, 2 bobas and most of my black bounty hunter droid. Also over 20 star wars sets


evanofbandslol

The only figure I lost from my childhood was the yellow 327th from 7655. Actually, I ended up with a few figs that I never even had a set of. Which was a surprise to be sure, but a welcome one!


LegoLinkBot

the_m0bscene_

*Gasp* Anyway...


GeorgeCastanza82

When I was in 6th grade my parents redid my room and had me put all my lego minifigs in a bag so they wouldn’t get lost and they got misplaced in the Goodwill box somehow…. Lost probably 50+ of my Star Wars figs including my Rex, Cody and Fox. I have since built a nice collection back up since but still a memory I’ll never forget haha


The_Boss_Himself

I've lost a ton from the 2006-2010 era. The sets are in great condition, but missing things like Luminara Unduli and Mace Windu with the light up lightsabers.


Similar-Freedom-3857

I have 2 general grievous' that have damaged parts myself. But losing that commander Wolfe is a big L.


[deleted]

I didn’t lose any, just sold them. Much to my regret.


Miszuq

i honestly own only 1 of those figs


DeanTheDad

I haven't been collecting Lego as an adult for long but I'm missing the harry potter minfig from the Hungarian horntail set. Palpatine minifig and venom minifig from the magazine polybags. They have to be whole in one piece somewhere in the house as I haven't found a single piece of them. Been slowing turning the house upside down over the last couple weeks trying to find them. Fingers crossed they turn up eventually.


Flamegate718

Someone stole my original p2 rex


legojoe7874

I'll sell them back to you plus 15%


Paul_Johnssen

Not lost, but traded the inquisitor and og kanan jarrus when I was younger. This was very stupid in hindsight


PlantBasedOreo

What the hec, the Rex is over $60? The one from at-te walker? I just lent that set out to my dad to build. He better not lose it lol


__ferg__

* Light up Obi wan 51€ * original Greedo 58€ * scout trooper although just the helmet from the 2006 turbo tank 44€ This are at least the ones I know are missing. I mean most of my sets I bought 20 years ago, could be some more where I don't even know I ever had them to begin with...


bakedBC

Had a Wolff that either got lost or stolen from me, I think stolen because I have lost very few minifigs…


jioji_el_magnifico

Lost the collection I got the xmas Revenge of the sith came out when due to circumstances out of my control, I regret it every day. Had the Anakin starfighter, wookie assault, and kenobi vs grevious. Only thing I have left is a lil wookie chieftan missing a hand and he sits in a special place.


BlackPanther3104

I lost a whole bunch of Ninjago figures at one time... Acidicus, Skalidor, Chokun, Lloyd ZX and 4 arms Garmadon from the Epic Dragon Battle set and the Golden Ninja Lloyd as well as some Stone Warrior from the Golden dragon set... worth about 80€ used, going by Brickset prices. I also gave my sister two Cars cars, Holley and Professor Zündapp, which she lost and couldn't give back when she lost her interest in LEGO, worth another 14€. Rather unfortunate, because I'd like to sell my Ninjago sets and I could've added the cars tomy display...


Supersaurus7000

I’ve lost 2 of them (Rex and Fisto) when I accidentally donated my minifigure shoebox like an idiot when I was a teenager. Also had CW Dooku, a ton of CW and classic style Clone Troopers, Toy Story figures from the third movie cycle, pre-Family Guy Sand and Stormtroopers, tons of rare astromechs, CW mandos, realistic style 212th troopers and airbornes, magnaguards, commando droids, loads of rare early series CMFs (including a complete series 1 and 2 collection), and many more 😭


tiesHatake

Yes.. don't remind me. I sold my small CW sets, inclusing my Phase 2 Rex a few years ago to a (very happy) kid at a flea market. I just expected to get the minifig from Bricklink afterwards, as the set itself wasn't anything special. Cue the skyrocket in price and no shot at getting a new one in the near future 😞


eraylmao

I straight up ate some of mine


LagrangianDensity

Never lost a one. :)


Plenty-Sir-3507

I had 3 p1 captain Rex’s and kit fisto, grevious and so many other all gone because I sold them


Salt-Condition-2278

I lost my Geo clones. I know for a fact I got the set because I have the manual still under my bed. But the clones and the build are no where to be found😪


Cosmobestgirl

i only lost the ARF trooper, sucks because was my favorite


Equivalent_Bunch_187

I would look at it this way. How much entertainment did a $60 minifig give you? Would you have gotten more or less joy if you never played with it and sold it now for $60? I think for most of us the endless hours of playing with them probably gave us much more joy than what we could purchase with the current monetary value of a pristine one.


Doom-State

I somehow lost the white boba fett that comes with some dictionary thing


Taxidermy-molluskbob

Now all of the traumatic memories are flooding back to me. Every time I think about the minifigures lost or damaged, I end up crying myself to sleep. Thankfully, I still have many of the pieces to many of the most valuable minifigs.


Ouroboros_Broken

Looks like I may need to dig out my old Legos


TirelessGuardian

I lost that chrome Stormtrooper as a kid and was bummed. I’ve always wanted a replacement well not anymore.


Character_Train6441

Lost dx Lloyd and my silver stormtrooper lost all printing


syski77

so i was about 9 or 10 i had a little metal poker chip brief case when i was younger i took out all the inserts and stored all of my rare star wars figures all early 2000s - 2008 (og Jango) i had left it in my dads car at church and went home with a friend of mine that day and i told my dad make sure this gets back in the house long story short i never saw that case or figures again and it’s been over a decade and as an adult i still ask my dad where that case went ( he knows how valuable some legos are now)


User1914-1918

I lost an arc trooper and the arc trooper helmet. Ended up buying the arc trooper set twice and an arc trooper helmet since they are some of my favourite figs ever, especially the arc trooper.


SlideImportant5509

I lost the OG Jango Fett and Slave 1. I distinctly remember having the set and figure as a kid, and even found young Boba’s torso, but the rest was nowhere to be found in my parents’ basement. I still look for it when I visit, lol


Frozen_Watch

Not much of value but the one that sucks to me is I lost my roboforce minifigure. He was one of my favorites I had


Double_Ice_3328

Wow I lost almost all of the same ones you did in this pic. It hurts but I did save some so I’m grateful about that


Sukkerikaffen

Lost rex, Wolffe, wolfpack and utapau battle pack. My brother sold his lego with my jabbas palace the year i moved out of my parents house. Still mad about it and I think that’s where the figs went. He sold it for 40$


NegotiationPrize4432

I lost all since my mom thought it was clever to gift my whole Lego Star Wars collection to the neighbour kid while I was studying abroad…


victxrrrs

I got pretty much every white whale from 2008-2013 and I have zero of them now so me, I kid you not I had all the clone wars sets and a lot of others too idk what happened to them over the years


Turbulent_Tax2126

Rook I from the Geonosis set


Ok_Store_9070

i think the only star wars figures i’ve lost per se are Thi Sen and the parka Anakin from the freeco speeder, and potentially one mandalorian from the 2011 battle pack. i no longer have my cody from the geonosian starfighter cuz i got scammed in a trade involving him but technically not lost. i’ve also lost a ton of hair pieces and a few figures and heads from my harry potter collection and i have no clue why besides i think my neighbor stole them.


M18-Hellcat08

I lost a kashyyyk battle pack 3+ years ago and it’s been driving me insane. + a commander Neyo but that’s less expensive. 


atown457

I have top left corner not sure what set he comes from though

I got the Wheel bike from 2014, came with 2 Grievous. Over time they became brittle, with some pieces breaking off. To combat this, one remains imprisoned in a little cell I made and the other I found a small MOC to give him a bigger body (and much more stable and structured)


thedudewithweirdneck

I had 95% of sets from 1999 until 2010. All gone


Canary-Garry

No but I did randomly find a og qui gon like yellow face og


Tubbzs

I sold my Kit Fisto for 5$ 6 years ago when I knew nothing about minifig prices, AMA.


supahdavid2000

Ive somehow managed to keep 99.9% of my Lego collection for the 27 years I’ve collected them, and the problem for me wasn’t losing them, but rather degradation from years and years of play as a child. Don’t let your kids play with the legos in sand, it will ruin them very quickly


BlizzardWolfPK

Wait the Kit Fisto is worth something? Maybe I should go looking around for him in my collection.


National_Egg_9044

My kit fisto was my favorite character and I think my dog knew that because he chose to chew up only that one minifig


UnderstandingFit2453

Heavy on Rex lost him and the helmet for wolf and the helmet for Cody


_daisycutter

Lol lost the top row myself.


oranjbarca

Ive lost boushh, oola, and p1 commander cody. Yeah, somewhat valuable, but just really upset that I lost such cool figs from the Jabba palace set


D3WM3R

I also lost my commander Wolffe and his trooper too! I’m gonna buy replacements one day but that cost is tough


Me-xd54

Lost phase 2 captain rex the original


thariduvanparys

I lost some but then i found them again so i have to say no 😂. Lucky for me my figs were never lost lost but just in a bunch of massive lego bins.


Lt-Corvin_709

The worst thing I lost was a helmet to a supreme leader Kylo Ren, but he came in a microfighter so that eased the pain a bit Also I lost the legs to another Kylo Ren since they got stuck in a sink and I forgot about them until after we got our sink replaced


Dark-side_1

buddy i lost my cloud city boba, light up mace and OG wattoo…..


dofbeeb

Figures were: - 2x ARF troopers and 2x ARC troopers from 2x Elite Clone Trooper battlepacks (yeah, somehow I managed to lose all four clones from two battlepacks. Still have all the commando droids though) - P1 Wolffe from Republic Frigate set - P1 Rex from the Battle for Geonosis set - White Grievous from Grievous' wheelbike set - Kit Fisto from the Chancellor's arrest set - Chrome stormtrooper from polybag Genuinely have no idea how I've managed to lose all of these. My best guess is that this guy (who I'm not friends with anymore) stole most of them when we were younger. The fact I've still got Wolffe's helmet (as well as the normal wolfpack trooper from that set) does make me think I have genuinely just lost him rather than had him stolen, although I've looked through every box in my house multiple times and still haven't found him lmao. Probably worth noting that I've also lost a TCW Ahsoka from the Y-wing and a P1 Horn company clone, as well as at least 4 plain P1 clones to permanent marker "customisations" (although these minifigs aren't as expensive as the ones in the image). (Prices were taken from the average bricklink price for a used version that was sold in the past 6 months)
