Is this LEGO minifigure a good investment?
“There are currently several Vertical Lines Red & Blue minifigs figures. This one (ver002) is exclusive to a single set, making it slightly more desirable to collectors and investors. Additionally, it’s not as widely owned as other Vertical Lines Red & Blue versions.”

About Town Racing

The Town Racing minifigures are the drivers, pit crews and race officials of LEGO's racing sets from 1980 to 1999. Drivers wear jackets with zippers and racing stripes, many with numbers or team logos, and helmets with visors. Until the early 1990s some figures carry the Shell logo, and from 1992 the Octan team took over, so most later racers and mechanics wear Octan on their torso and cap. Eddie Octane is one of the few named drivers. Truck drivers, race officials in vests and spectators fill out the larger sets.
