Waiter, White Torso, Black Legs, Black Hair

This waiter minifigure is desirable because it's part of the popular Lunar New Year subtheme, known for its detailed minifigures and cultural significance. The torso print, featuring a dragon, red trim, and a name badge, adds to the figure's uniqueness and appeal. Minifigures from these special edition sets often gain value over time due to their limited production runs.

The inclusion of a unique head print with detailed facial expressions further enhances its collectibility. Collectors will appreciate the excellent condition of the printing as well as the hair piece since short hair pieces can be easily scratched.

This minifigure appears in only one set, the Family Reunion Celebration (80113-1) released in 2024. While not a limited edition in the strictest sense, the set is only available during the Lunar New Year season, making this minifigure less common than those found in regularly produced City sets. The aftermarket availability will depend on the set's popularity and production volume.

As a relatively new minifigure, its long-term investment potential is still developing. The Family Reunion Celebration set is a higher-priced set, suggesting that individual minifigure prices may also be higher. Lunar New Year sets tend to hold their value well, and minifigures from these sets often see appreciation over time, especially if the set is retired and the character is unique.
