Andrew Garfield Shocked To Discover His Rare LEGO Spider-Man Minifigure Is Worth $15,000

Andrew Garfield had an unexpected reaction when he was introduced to one of the rarest LEGO Spider-Man minifigures based on his version of the character.

During an interview promoting The Magic Faraway Tree, Garfield was shown a 2013 San Diego Comic-Con exclusive LEGO Spider-Man minifigure from the interviewer’s personal collection.

Garfield initially appeared unsure whether the figure was actually based on him, before the interviewer confirmed that the Comic-Con exclusive Spider-Man represented his version of the Marvel character.

Garfield then immediately wanted to know how much it was worth.

When the collector told him the minifigure was valued at approximately $15,000, Garfield’s jaw dropped in amazement.

The interviewer also told Garfield that only 300 examples of the minifigure were made. Garfield appeared even more surprised after learning about the limited production.

The collectible is associated with Garfield’s Spider-Man from The Amazing Spider-Man films and was originally produced as a San Diego Comic-Con exclusive.

The figure has since become a particularly difficult LEGO Marvel minifigure for collectors to obtain. Secondary-market asking prices for the exclusive have previously reached into five figures, with LEGO collecting publications also identifying it as one of the most valuable Spider-Man minifigures.

Garfield had apparently never encountered the collectible before the interview.

“No, I’ve never seen it,” Garfield said after being asked whether he was familiar with the figure.

After getting a closer look, he added that he would have to track one down for himself.

The exchange became even more playful when Garfield briefly thought the expensive minifigure might be a gift.

When the interviewer clarified that the collectible needed to go back home with him, Claire Foy joked that the figure was the collector’s “pension.”
