The long answer:
It only came out in 2005, and for all intents and purposes, the only fully-distributed
set it was in was 7251 Darth Vader Transformation. Until Lego released an updated
version of that in 2017, it was a fairly high-demand set because that scene in
Revenge of the Sith is iconic. But sets released in 2004-2005 typically had short
shelf lives because of Lego's color transformation and changes in the company.
So higher demand + lower supply = a fairly expensive set -- it still averages
$28 for 53 pieces, or $0.53/piece, and I remember seeing it go for $35-$40
a few years back. Since there are very few exclusive parts in the set besides
the figs, the few exclusive/rare parts get priced up extremely high, likely because
of people trying to Bricklink the set.

| Only available in 3 sets, of which one is an exclusive.
Basic Supply and Demand, I should think

You do know you can post the auction number, right?
(Hint, hint...poke, poke...nudge, nudge)

You can't post the link, just the item number. (202504481665)
Your post is going to be canceled.

Thanks.I am new at this. I have now instead tried to add the minifig with brown
hair as a new item (belvmale21). I hope I will have better luck with that. If
there is one with black hair on ebay, you must be right that both versions
exist.

What is your source for requesting this change?
Thanks,

I have now had tree sets where this plate were "bright green". When I google
I can find pictures of more sets like mine.
Thanks

To make changes like this, I need to have convincing evidence, since the inventories
were originally submitted to BrickLink by a prior Inventory Administrator.
Were all of your sets purchased new by you or used? If they were new, did
you build the sets yourself and have the pieces of them always remained separate
from other sets?
Cheers,
Randy
|
My sets were purchased used - so I have no proof as such. Sorry.
If I google for pictures of this set, I get approximately 50% with this plate
in green and 50% with bright green. My sets have the bright green tile - but
in theory they could have been replaced.

Thank you for responding to my PM so quickly!
Yep, that is what I was finding as far as used sets, also. Unfortunately, I can't
really say for sure if this was a true alternate or not. It feels to me like
it easily could have been, but I don't want to change the inventory based
on just a feeling. Hopefully, someone with better evidence will come along eventually.
For now, I will have to reject this request.
Thanks for your time,
Randy

I got a new set, opened, but complete with this number off bricks. For example
with this changes this set will have the same number off bricks as set 987 (numbers,
52 parts)

Thank you for responding so quickly to my PM!
This is exactly what I needed to know.
