The biggest gain belongs to Temple Guard 1 (iaj034), up 3,736% since its release. Every figure below is now worth more than three times its value at release. The middle figure on the list has grown 598%. The first run was on shelves for only about two years, and the guards, pilots and henchmen inside its sets started out as ordinary play figures. With so short a time on sale, those minor figures had plenty of room to grow once the sets were gone.

Below are the retired LEGO Indiana Jones minifigures that have grown the most in value since their release.
