Rarity
Uncommon to Rare. While Phase 1 Rex was available in popular sets, he has since been discontinued for over a decade, and character demand keeps supply low.

Condition Notes
The torso and legs in the image show minimal wear, but the figure is incomplete. Check for torso cracks under arms and neck loose-ness.

Collectibility
Extremely high. Captain Rex is one of the most beloved characters in the Star Wars universe, making any version of him a cornerstone of a collection.
History
Represents the transition period of LEGO Star Wars from 'animated' faces to more realistic tones, while retaining the Phase 1 armor design.
Interesting Facts
Despite his popularity, Phase 1 Rex only appeared in two official retail sets, leading to his high price on the secondary market today.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Anakin Skywalker and Ahsoka Tano. Needs a Captain Rex helmet and blue pauldron to reach full display potential.
Modification Potential
Excellent for purist customs or upgrading to the newer 2023/2024 head prints, though most collectors prefer the original configuration.
Overall Assessment
A top-tier collectible Star Wars figure. Even in this incomplete state, the torso and legs are highly desirable components for builders and fans.
