Well they were released a few months ago both of them kind of simultaneously, but with kind of limited access. Don’t know exactly where, but have been available on BL for around 15 Euro. This is the first time lego shop release one of them Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BrickBob Studpants Posted September 2, 2018 I purchased both polybags two months ago on Bricklink for around 20€ each. Since I usually buy new sets on the day of release, I miss this sort of promotion most of the time and buying duplicates of sets just to get a freebie isn't really my thing. So, Bricklink it is Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jdubbs Posted September 2, 2018 The two were available for a time at LEGOLand, which is where the online supply originates from. They have otherwise not been released as a gift-with-purchase promotion in stores. Presumably the Kessel Mine Worker will be a retailer exclusive (one of Target, Walmart, Barnes & Noble, etc. in the U.S., TRU in the EU, etc.) now that LEGO Stores are releasing the Muddy Han poly. But probably not until November since they won't want to compete directly with LEGO's promotional window in October. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It might be useful in expanding Cloud City. If I were you I'd wait until it's on sale, $50 would be a good deal for such rare pieces, plus you get another Porg minibuild. I'll probably get it to have as a little display piece, I actually like the set.

Don't be that guy, this website is for Lego discussion, not for you to complain about movies you don't like. It's people like you that ruined the franchise.

It doesn't look too bad, but the mouth kinda looks off, and the back looks really blocky. I prefer the minibuild much much more. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Mountain Drew Posted September 3, 2018 (edited) I still think DJ from TLJ is the best of these polybags, the second being Mudtrooper Han. Also, since there's no Star Wars movies or shows until Mid-Late next year (besides Resistance), maybe we could see an exclusive fig from the Original or Prequel Trilogy.

I also kind of feel like this hair would look a bit nicer on him, but that's an easy fix. 23 minutes ago, Tusserte said: Forgive my ignorance, but what pieces do you consider rare in the 75230 Porg? I don't see any particularly interesting parts... Well the curved white pieces would be good for making snow (perhaps for a Hoth or Crait MOC), and the jagged gray pieces would be good for making some sort of mountain or cave (Ahch-To or even a Batcave MOC). And like @LEGOscum said, you get a ton of orange pieces, considering it's not that common of a color, I think you could just buy the set for the pieces (and the mini Porg, of course) and still be happy with the purchase.

I'd like to have the option to get some of them with Lego purchases, as I do quite often... I missed the Shoretrooper, DJ, the mine worker and now maybe Mudtrooper Han. Maybe the only option will be to BL them. But this is a bit sad, IMO. I would prefer to have more options to get those figures first hand from Lego in more countries, otherwise they'll become too expensive in secondary markets, and I don't think this is a good thing neither for Lego nor for its fans no matter their ages.

The only one I actually got f the lego store as a GWP was the Shoretrooper, but I got DJ and R3-M2 on eBay for <$10 each. They get pretty cheap after a little while. The two Solo ones are like $20 in eBay right now but that’ll go down after October Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah I just saw that, he looks fantastic! In your professional opinion, do you think he’s from a micro fighter or the rumored Raddus set? Those two are the only sets that make sense in my mind but I suppose it could be something else. I know Finch Dallow is a Resistance Bomber Pilot. Perhaps a bomber micro fighter? Unless he’s in the Raddus just as fluff for the set which I don’t mind in the slightest Edited September 12, 2018 by Balrogofmorgoth Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BrickBob Studpants Posted September 12, 2018 I can't recall the rumoured set list, but I think there was at least one unspecified microfighter on there, wasn't there? Dallow piloting a resistance bomber microfighter would make way more sense than him being in a alleged Raddus set (a rumoured set that doesn't originate from one of our trusted informants IIRC, but I digress). Then again, we did get Poe and Holdo in the previous bomber set... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CF Mitch Posted September 12, 2018 Why would Raddus and Finch Dallow be in the same set? The first is from Rogue One, and the other from the TFA/TLJ. I know LEGO 'misplaces' characters more often, but never into entirely different movies.. Nevertheless, looks like a cool minifigure Regards, Mitch Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
