Boy, Open Blue Jacket, Short Tan Legs, Dark Brown Hair

This Boy minifigure, with his open blue jacket and dark brown hair, is a desirable addition to any LEGO City collection. While not based on a specific character, his detailed torso print and relatively unique combination of parts make him stand out from more generic minifigures. Collectors appreciate the realism and versatility he brings to LEGO dioramas and city layouts.

The minifigure's appeal is further enhanced by its limited availability, appearing in only one set. Completeness and condition are key factors for collectors; ensuring the torso print is intact and the hairpiece is free from scratches will maximize its value. As LEGO enthusiasts often seek to populate their LEGO towns with diverse characters, this boy minifigure is a sought-after addition.

This minifigure's rarity stems from its exclusive appearance in the LEGO Truck Show set (4000022-1) from 2016. As a promotional set and not a widely distributed retail release, the number of minifigures produced was inherently limited. While not a regional exclusive, the set's limited availability translates to a lower number of this minifigure on the aftermarket compared to figures from mass-market sets. Its relative scarcity contributes to its collectibility.

The investment potential of this minifigure is moderate. While not an iconic character, its limited availability and the desirability of LEGO City-themed figures suggest a steady, if not dramatic, appreciation in value over time. The retirement of the Truck Show set further solidifies its potential as a long-term investment. Keeping the minifigure in excellent condition and with any original packaging from the set will enhance its value.
