I'm interested in hearing about the rarest sets/minifigures/pieces that everyone has been fortunate to own. So what was the single rarest LEGO product you have/had? Is it part of your personal collection, or are you planning on selling it?

 

Up until today, the rarest set I currently own was 3300003, LEGO Store Set. However, since I have started to collect the Superman theme in its entirety, I splurged and bought myself the 2012 SDCC Bizarro Minifigure. 

 

 

 

Now I am lucky enough to own every Superman set/minifigure that has been produced (until the SDCC 2013 minifig comes out). So show off your most prized possession so the rest of us can drool over it!!!!

the increase or decrease of the 10179 would depend on many factors.......IMO it is way premature to start selling off 10179s. I have no clue who started the rumor of a new UCS Falcon but I think its humorous to say the least. There is no basis for this rumor whatsoever, just people trying to stir crap up.

My rarest legos are probably the bounty hunter cube dudes.  Hard to restrain from opening them as I love that they look like someone made homemade bounty hunters.

As I read this, the cries of a thousand Lego collectors rang out... I would have presumed that with a possible re-release that any original run 10179 would increase in value.

Don't get me wrong. It was definitely a tough decision. I just couldn't afford buying more sets or other stuff that I wanted (Star Wars prop replicas) without selling it. As the above poster mentioned, the increase or decrease of the 10179 would depend on many factors. I totally agree with that. I just didn't want to take a chance on a decrease if the rumors were true and the new set was going to be similar to 10179. I highly doubt it as I think it may be Episode VII based, but like I said, I needed the money. I am on the hunt for a well-priced loose 10179 though. =)
