I would agree with the above, these two guys are your best bet, I know Lego SW and Idea sets, but not a lot else.
I have never seen this before, looks quite old.

Hey

Yes 1992, which surprised me, thought it might have been 87 or 88 when I saw it, but there you go. Never seen this one before, but the only reference on bricklink is here - https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?G=922421#T=S&O={"iconly":0} which is also the only indication of value I can find.

There seems to be almost nothing written about this one on any of the normal reference sites, but going on the valuation above for mint ones and the wear on this maybe £50? I think you would have to find the right buyer though, very niche item, pretty cool though and given it's made of paper it might look nice in a frame?

Sorry, can't be of more help, Lego have tried their hand at games of one sort or another for years and never enjoyed a lot of success, only really the digital media stuff that has worked well for them and even that is mixed at best, every board game they have tried has flopped. But since this was a promotional item and one tied to one of the most beloved of classic themes it could do well at market? Certainly rare. Best of luck if you do sell.

Sorry, late to the party on this one.

Lego isn't really in the same place a lot of other collecting spheres are, such as SW, Dinky/Matcbox, Horny, etc. Whereas we prize and value paperwork, memorabilia, advertising, etc. the same does not appear to be true of Lego. It is still the sets which hold the value and, frankly, little else. I picked up kilos (must have been 8 or 9 kgs) of paperwork a year or two ago: lots of point of sale designs, shop layout plans, even plans for the shop floor at Windsor Legoland. The best item was the original artwork for one of the Shell promotions on the 1990s: it was specifically the art and design around the shelf danglers. What did I pay? £11. And this was well advertised on ebay. And then she contacted me two months later as she'd found some more and did I want it.

To the point: Whilst this is a curiosity, as Matt says, it's a bit of a niche item. I can see someone paying £5 maybe £10 for it but no more. If it were mint/sealed then I could see it getting maybe £20-£30 but I very much doubt it would get much more unless you were prepared to have it on Buy It Now for months and months.

The Lego world is an odd one. Lego IP is so locked down you'd expect advertising stuff and the like to super rare and sought after, particularly pre-2000 when no-one (frankly) gave a ****, but it doesn't appear to be valued by all but a handful of collectors.
