Samwise Gamgee (Sam) - Dark Tan Shirt, Dark Bluish Gray Cape
Released in 2012, LOR004 is the original LEGO Samwise Gamgee minifigure. 3 further variants have been produced since, with the most recent in 2025.
At £12.00, LOR004 is the highest-valued Samwise Gamgee variant on the secondary market — 1.9× the price of the most affordable variant (LOR132 - Samwise Gamgee (Sam) - Dark Tan Jacket at £6.16).
LOR004 ranks in the top 25% of all minifigures tracked on Brickpit by used value, and in the bottom 50% within the The Lord of the Rings theme (86 figures).
As the highest-valued Samwise Gamgee variant, LOR004's premium likely reflects its age. Collectors should note the significant spread across Samwise Gamgee variants before committing at this price point.
