LEGO BrickHeadz is a range that’s been around for around five years now. And with over 100 sets released in the series, many of them are now worth way more than RRP. In fact, since most single BrickHeadz retail for just £9.99, these sets holds some of the greatest value markup of any LEGO set. Needless to say, then, if you have a hefty BrickHeadz collection, you’re likely sitting on a little goldmine. But which sets are the most valuable BrickHeadz?
We’ve been through and rounded up the 10 most valuable retail BrickHeadz, which you can see listed below. We’ve also documented the most valuable other exclusive BrickHeadz, which have been available only in certain locations. You’ll find details on those further down the page – the most expensive sets of which sell for over £700.
Note: The values we’re using here are based on sold values of auctions on eBay UK in the last three months (March-June 2021), so these are real prices that people are willing to pay for these sets. The prices are also based on new and sealed sets. If you have open/built copies of these sets, chances are they’re still worth more than RRP, just not as much as they would be if they were new and sealed.

LEGO Movie 2 Walmart Exclusive BrickHeadz
Annoyingly to UK fans, a range of LEGO Movie 2 Brickheadz were created and released – but only ever sold in Walmart stores across North America. Without a UK release, they are understandably very collectible over here. Bricklink lists the ‘new’ value of these as around £50-£60 each, but when they do pop up on eBay, they typically sell for around £100 each.
- 41634 Emmet
- 41635 Wildstyle
- 41636 Benny
- 41637 Sweet Mayhem
Comic Con Exclusives
Undoubtedly the most valuable BrickHeadz sets ever released have been Comic Con exclusives; a range of sets were only ever available at San Diego and New York Comic Cons in 2016 and 2017. These are some of the rarest LEGO BrickHeadz sets available – not least because they were only ever on sale for three days at most (in some cases, just one day), and only from one physical location.
Here’s every Comic Con exclusive, and their values, based on being new and boxed:
- 41493 Black Panther & Doctor Strange (£710)
- 41491 Batman & The Joker (£705)
- 41497 Spider-Man & Venom (£690)
- 41492 Iron Man & Captain America (£670)
- 41490 Superman & Wonder Woman (£600)
- 41498 Boba Fett and Han Solo in Carbonite (£324)
- 41496 Supergirl & Martian Manhunter (£260)
Store Opening Exclusives
LEGO has also released a number of BrickHeadz to celebrate the openings of various stores across the world. They’ve only ever been available in those particular stores, and for a limited amount of time. However, since none of these have conventional numbering (or no set numbering at all), they’re easy to ignore as part of the BrickHeadz line-up.
- 6315025 Amsterdam BrickHeadz (There are no eBay listings, but it’s worth ~£250, according to Bricklink)
- 6322719 Hangzhou BrickHeadz (~£130)
- Beijing Brickheadz (£125)
- Shimao BrickHeadz (£81)
It would seem that you can’t really go wrong if you buy the 2-packs in general. Would be nice if some Exclusive versions were made available outside of the US.
Absolutely. I’d love to have the LEGO Movie 2 set, but no way am I paying £100 each for them!
Incomplete list really; as the most valuable BrickHeadz at the time of this article and even still in 2022 would be a “Nonnie” from the 2017 Inside Tour. Only 80 of these were created and less than half, only 35 were given to the public on the “Inside Tour”, with the rest given to Lego employees, so even less likely to ever be seen on the market. One sold, once, on eBay for the perhaps bargain £1600 at around the same time as you could still pick up even the more valuable SDCC sets mentioned above for sometimes only £150. This 10x price compared to SDCC probably still follows today, and one would sure to be worth several thousand pounds plus to a serious BrickHeadz collector, desperate to fully complete the series. Also, since this article, in 2022 Lego ran a competition to win one of just 13 Spice Girls Tribute 40548 sets, each SIGNED by ALL of the Spice Girls. Though 40548 is not in itself a rare set like Nonnie; one of these just 13 Signed sets would give any Brickheadz collector the ultimate collection. Only 3 have ever appeared for sale as of October 2010. 2 were listed in the UK by people who had won them and quickly snapped up for several hundred pounds and just 1 appeared in the US, going for well over $2,000 on auction… These prices were even when these super rare signed sets and just dropped into the public domain and were probably not yet on the radar for a majority of Brickheadz collectors. At an educated guess, to the right buyer, likely a Lego fan or a Spice Girls fanatic; one would likely be worth £3,000-£5,000.
Nonnie is a fair omission, although I have categorised these to be those that were on general sale OR available via SDCC – Nonnie doesn’t fit either of those cases since it was a very limited set. The same way we don’t include things like employee gifts when we round up the most expensive sets, etc. Sure, there are always ridiculous exceptions for the super-rare things Lego created. You’ve got to draw the line somewhere.
Same goes for signed sets. The signed Spice Girls BrickHeadz is still just a regular set, albeit signed. Hundreds of Lego sets have been signed and made more exclusive. But the set remains the same. It’s impossible to count it as a separate entity, really.
