Is this LEGO minifigure a good investment?
“The growth of the Darwin the Pirate minifig has slowed to about 1.3% per year, yet it remains a worthwhile addition for Pirates collectors.”

Review for LEGO set 6257 Castaway's Raft from Steve's LEGO Blog
“My favorite raft available from the Lego Company, what makes this set so nice is the fact that the raft is so well built it feels solid, like it could carry the pirates for weeks(how they would survive would be another question), the flags (which represent sails) have a nice... More tattered look, and the barrels on the bottom of the raft add a nice color variation. I remember also being impressed with the map and the shark which was only available in larger sets at the time (that changed eventually).”
