Top Ten Rarest LEGO Animals!

Check out a fun list counting down the top ten rarest and most expensive LEGO animal molds - excluding dinosaurs for now!

Note - I somehow forgot the rancor! My apologies. That one absolutely belongs on the list, especially after the price hike post-BOBF

i think itd be genuinely interesting to see the top 10 LEAST expensive lego animals. which ones have been used the most in different sets? are they being used as decoration or pieces other than just as an animal, like the frogs on the bonsai tree?

Every Bionicle fan ever desperately wants Smaug's wings for at least one Makuta MOC.

The goat deserves special mention as the rarest Lego animal that is only one piece and not only is an exclusive mold, but the only time that species of animal was ever made in Lego so far. Smaug is impressive of course, but it's multiple pieces, and not the only time a dragon was made in Lego.

These videos are very underrated. The amount of time and quality that goes into these is insane for the size of the channel.

The stingrays from the old obscure short lived diver sets were pretty cool, (though looked more like bat rays) and haven't been seen sense then. They even had a part on their wing/fin that the divers could grab onto.

There's a Tiger with the Jasmine set from the Disney line. It's out now. I just bought it to celebrate Year of the Tiger. It's very similar in size to the one listed. But it does have slightly Disney-esq eyes, and you can put a saddle on it like a horse (or brick fill it).

I made sure to get it for year of the Tiger, and it was the only reason I bought that set, lol

as somebody who has the whole Lego Smaug set, im suprised it was this expensive. i was unaware i had a collectors item XD

Cool list. I actually have most of the basilisk and really love him. Fun fact, that version of the Basilisk actually appears as a boss in the first LEGO Indiana jones game, which inspired me to get one :)

I'm SO happy that as a The Hobbit fan myself, I got Smaug brand new with its set, back in the day for retail price. :D He's one of my favourites figures, even so that I have him in my glass cabinet from day one. Also, don't forget that with the Smaug set, came King Thorin *w* and Filli and Killi with their fight armour.

Awesome list, the dragon is super impressive, especially with all the printed elements. As always, great vid!

I used to have a Smaug Lego when I was little. Was absolutely obsessed with the thing. The fact that it’s the rarest on the list hurts my soul because it would have been so cool to still own it. The thing got lost during a move into a new home. The set on its own was almost a hundred, the fact that Smaug himself is worth 200 now hurts to know man

I was lucky enough to pick up the dark gray elephant from a charity/thrift store in Retford (England) as a child. I had no idea it was so valuable until recently. Rebrickable doesn't even list values for most of the parts - only 2 have values; the pin connecting the tail which is a fairly common part at 7p, and the part that connects the head to the shoulders which is worth £12.55 on its own. Rebrickable has a tendency to overestimate part costs but still the high cost of one part and the lack of data for the others speaks volumes.
Didn't get the rest of the set it came in just the elephant.
Funnily enough one of the first MOCs I ever made and posted online, Greeblimus, was made with the elephant's head. Ended up using the name on here for a while and some people still know me by that. The parts have come in handy for other things as well namely those ears which I wish were available in more colours.

I have the glowing octopus... I didn't realize it was that expensive. I will definitely be watching that value closely now.

[PatientJellyfish]

Ugh, I really want Smaug, I wish I didn’t pick such a rare and expensive animal to be my dreamie

[floreal_]

Wow I didn’t know about the goats mold being destroyed, luckily I got the set for my birthday back then so I have the 2 from that set, I also have smaug, the tiger, the light grey classic elephant and that glow in the dark squid, had no idea about the squid being that expensive since no one ever really talks about it

[Dan-cffm]

Was watching this video thinking that I don’t have any rare LEGO animals. Totally forgot I had the Smaug dragon lol.

[RW-zhkl]

I like the elephants, Lego needs to bring back and make elephants great again!

[bruhcheddar]

Imagine how awesome a brick built Smaug but with specialized pieces could be

[Phantomato]

I have Smaug, I purchased the whole set he came in used for 300 Canadian during the summer of 2020... The fact that Smaug alone is now worth more than that blows my mind. Great video!
