People complained when that one Bespin Duel set was US exclusive but these magazines trounce that 50 times over. That's what, $6 for Jango?

I'm not complaining (well, maybe I am- I guess I should say I'm not saying lego should start trying to sell these in the US because those sort of activity magazines aren't as big here) but man, the ability to get figures like that so cheap is awesome.

With the tin box it's more like 8 or 9 Euros for Jango and that is not different from the Bricklink price. Personally I never bought any of the magazines that comes with a tin box because I have no use for it and it makes the minifigure too expensive. The tin box is just a expensive way to produce a tiny bit of scrap metal  

The Commando Droid - this month's magazine gift - is much cheaper on Bricklink.

But generally the magazines are a great way to get minifigs. Especially when I was new into Lego after my Dark Ages I bought every magazine to build a little collection of minifigs and most important to me, get some more fleshies (from other themes as well - I am looking at you Owen Grady !)
