Alien Android

The Alien Android minifigure is a unique and intriguing piece from the 2011 Alien Conquest theme. Its distinctive design, featuring a trans-bright green head, a combination of mechanical and organic elements, and a pirate-style peg leg, makes it stand out in any minifigure collection. Collectors appreciate the unusual blend of themes, mixing sci-fi with a touch of pirate flair.

The minifigure's detailed printing and the inclusion of a separate brain element add to its appeal. Given its relatively short production run and the overall popularity of LEGO's space-themed sets, the Alien Android is sought after by both minifigure enthusiasts and fans of the Alien Conquest line.

The Alien Android appears exclusively in one set: Earth Defense HQ (7066-1) released in 2011. While not a limited edition or regional exclusive, its single set appearance contributes to its relative scarcity on the aftermarket. As the Alien Conquest theme has been retired for over a decade, the availability of this minifigure is limited to secondary markets, making it moderately difficult to acquire, especially in pristine condition.

The Alien Android minifigure has the potential to be a solid investment piece, particularly for those interested in niche LEGO themes. Its unique design, limited availability (appearing in only one set), and the nostalgia associated with the Alien Conquest theme contribute to its desirability. As the number of available minifigures in good condition decreases over time, its value is likely to appreciate. However, it's not among the most highly sought-after minifigures, so expect more gradual growth rather than explosive gains.
