When buying LEGO, many buyers look first at the discount—and rightly so. But if you also keep an eye on the Part-Out Value (POV) and the Minifigures, you’ll have a much better idea of which sets have long-term potential. That’s exactly why Brick-Tracker provides the right data: transparent, constantly updated, and clearly displayed on every set page.
What does “part-out value” actually mean?
The Part-Out Value is the total value of all individual bricks in a LEGO set, based on current sales on BrickLink. On Brick-Tracker, this value is automatically updated every 24 hours. For many buyers, the POV is secondary at the time of purchase—often, the discount is what matters most. For collectors and investors, however, the POV is an important indicator of future value trends.
Discount + POV = a strong foundation
Real-world example: You buy a set at a 38% discount. This alone makes it likely that the set will later be resold for at least the MSRP—meaning a profit margin of around 100% based on your initial investment. If the current selling price is already significantly above the MSRP, there’s also a strong case that the set could eventually exceed the MSRP.
You can check which sets are currently heavily discounted at any time in the ” Top Deals ” section of the Brick-Tracker Price Comparison tool.
Minifigures—the Underrated Value Driver
With LEGO Star Wars in particular, the Minifigures are often what drive the value. For example: A set has an MSRP of 20 €, but includes a figure that’s already worth 8 € today. That means a single figure accounts for almost half the Set Value. If this figure isn’t reissued later, its value can easily rise to €20–30 in just a few years—and thus significantly boost the set’s total value as well.
With Brick-Tracker, you can see not only the number of Minifigures but also which ones are exclusive —plus, there’s a direct link to BrickSet so you can check current Minifigure prices. If you’re looking for something specific: all LEGO Star Wars Deals.
