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.
