Emperor Palpatine - Holiday Sweater

Palpatine has 16 LEGO variants spanning 2000–2026. SW1297, released in 2023, is the 12th of those variants.

At £3.50, SW1297 is among the most accessible Palpatine variants by used price. The most valued — SW0124 - Emperor Palpatine - Light Bluish Gray Head, Light Bluish Gray Hands — trades at £61.49, a 17.6× premium over this variant.

SW1297 ranks in the bottom 50% of all minifigures tracked on Brickpit by used value, and in the bottom 50% within the Star Wars theme (998 figures).

At £3.50, SW1297 offers accessible entry to the Palpatine minifigure range. Its relatively modest price reflects its position as a newer release, though the 16-variant field means collectors have meaningful choice across price points.
