Top Ten LEGO Sets With The Most Minifigures

Equally important to the multitude of LEGO brick creations, buildings, scenes, ships and vehicles released over the years are the cast of minifigures included in each model’s box. Some of these tiny characters are worth a small fortune, with exclusives and minifigures featuring rare appearances and decals proving to be sought-after collectibles. A few examples include the 14K Gold C-3PO, Black Suit Superman, Original Roman Commander, and Boba Fett from Star Wars Cloud City 10123.
