'Lego Star Wars' conquers 'Elden Ring,' and now scalpers want a taste

Lego and Star Wars are two great flavors that go great together, so it's no surprise that Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga is crushing it at the till. But while Luke and company have overtaken the fearsome Elden Ring as the newest top-selling game, it seems that scalpers are vacuuming up the deluxe edition of the game for a different reason: they want the exclusive Lego minifigure that comes with the game.

Indeed, if you have a habit of browsing eBay, you've probably seen rare Lego minifigures at auction for hundreds of dollars — it's not exactly uncommon. However, according to Nintendo Life, it appears that scalpers are buying the more expensive version of this video game just so they can flip this Luke Skywalker minifigure for a big profit. Currently, you can find eBay listings for the pack-in extra for $50, with some going as high as $100. That's a lot of moolah for a tiny bit of plastic.
