Target "exclusives" have seem to do well over the years. Sets like the 9465 The Zombies and 9476 The Orc Forge were Target exclusives that have performed well on the LEGO secondary markets. Unlike Toys R' Us "exclusive" LEGO sets which seem to never retire...LOL...Target exclusives seem to have shorter production runs, with the 9476 The Orc Forge lasting about 1.5 years on the primary retail shelves and the 9465 The Zombies lasting less than a half year at Target and LEGO Shop @ Home. So anytime a Target "exclusive" hits the shelves, I pay attention.
Let me introduce the 66535 Buildable Battle Pack 2 in 1: General Grievous & Obi-Wan Kenobi set. This set combines the 75112 General Grievous and 75109 Obi-Wan Kenobi STAR WARS Buildable Figures. I have had the pleasure of building both sets and they are well done, sturdy, accurate and extremely playable sets. The 75109 Obi-Wan Kenobi is a nice replica of the young Jedi Knight, while the 75112 General Grievous set is just "bad to the bone." A dynamic set in my opinion. If you are fan of STAR WARS and Bionicle/Hero Factory sets, you will love these STAR WARS Buildable Figures.
The 66535 Buildable Battle Pack 2 in 1: General Grievous & Obi-Wan Kenobi set sells for $59.99 and comes in a stylish box that includes an exclusive poster. There are new STAR WARS Buildable Figures being released in 2016 based on the new movie, The Force Awakens, so the current six:
- 75107 Jango Fett
- 75108 Clone Commander Cody
- 75109 Obi-Wan Kenobi
- 75110 Luke Skywalker
- 75111 Darth Vader
- 75112 General Grievous
...might be disappearing from primary retail outlets soon after the new versions are released. LEGO seems to like limiting production runs of sets like these and similar "constraction" sets from the Legends of Chima and the Marvel and DC Comics Super Heroes themes had short production runs to illustrate this point. Regardless, they are fantastic LEGO sets and every LEGO STAR WARS fan should collect all six before they disappear.
