Lance Richmond / Ultimate Lance

Ultimate Lance is a desirable minifigure for LEGO Nexo Knights collectors due to its unique armor and specialized parts. The trans-clear visor and breastplate are exclusive to this version of Lance Richmond, making it a must-have for completing a Nexo Knights minifigure collection. The detailed printing on the torso and legs, combined with the distinctive helmet, contribute to the figure's appeal.

Condition is important for this minifigure. Collectors will look for figures with minimal wear on the printing and no scratches on the transparent parts. Complete figures with all accessories in excellent condition command a premium.

Ultimate Lance is considered moderately rare, as it only appears in one set, the 'Ultimate Lance' (70337-1), which was released in 2016 and has since been retired. While not a regional exclusive, the limited availability to one set makes it harder to acquire than minifigures appearing in multiple sets. Aftermarket availability is present, but prices reflect its relative scarcity.

As a character from a relatively short-lived but popular theme, Ultimate Lance has decent investment potential. The retirement of the Nexo Knights line increases the value of its minifigures over time. While not as high-demand as minifigures from evergreen themes like Star Wars, the unique design and limited availability of this figure make it a worthwhile addition to a LEGO minifigure investment portfolio. Monitor the market for price fluctuations and consider holding onto this figure for long-term growth.
