There are other pricey sets too. A T-Rex kit could fetch almost $9,000.

A Goodwill Goldmine

And get this: a rare Lego minifigure found at a Goodwill in Pennsylvania sold for almost $20,000 at auction. Talk about luck!

Time to Check Your Basement?

What does this all mean? Maybe it’s time to raid your attic. Or that dusty basement. You might be sitting on a goldmine. Remember that box of Legos you haven’t touched in years? It could be worth more than you think.
