So...since I only have a few SW sets, and haven’t followed the rise and fall
of this, could somebody take a few moments to explain the “why” of the cost
of the Fett family minifigs?

Firstly, they’re Fetts. Secondly, they’re Star Wars minifigs. Thirdly, check
the prices of sets in most of Europe compared to the US. Fourthly, did I
mention that it’s Star Wars? ‘Cause it is. I was really irked a while back
when I realized that my chosen Space theme uniform (Count Dooku’s body) would
put me back a minimum of $15 each. When I started using them, they were running
only a couple bucks. So, now they’ve been promoted to just being officers and
I’ve gone to more readily available (i.e. less desirable) minifigs for use as
security troops and pilots and such. Anyways, mostly it’s just Jango Fett (who
hasn’t been produced in a few years) and the Cloud City Boba Fett (who is
particularly special for a Boba Fett minifig) that are expensive. Baby Fett and
both versions of Boba Fett with unprinted arms/legs aren’t that bad for SW
minifigs, since noone really cares about Baby Fett, and Boba Fett has recently
been reissued with both the third minifig-scale Slave I and Jabba’s Sail Barge.
Try Cloud City Lando, Darth Maul, or Ep4 Leia.

| It may be 30 years...but Ouch! I am assembling (the hard way--brick by brick) the 7153 Jango Fett Slave 1. Most of the bricks are not too hard to get; many fairly common bricks, etc. This started, as many of my projects do, as part of a bag of bulk (...) (17 years ago, 26-May-07, to lugnet.starwars, FTX)
