Looks like you can build this from spare parts at home or place a $20 BL order. I've often wondered if Lego designers take pride in hiding brightly colored pieces in sets that you wouldn't think they belong in. The blue, red, green, and pink in here are perfect examples of that.

The primary colored bricks/tiles are most likely 0.00000001% cheaper to produce than the other colors 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My guess is that it's easier to build when you have a contrast in color. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 10018 Darth Maul bust was one of the hardest builds I ever encountered. They were mostly black pieces. Vertical/Top down views of the instructions are difficult to follow. Make one mistake and the whole model is screwed up. The 3450 Statue of Liberty is another very difficult build. The colors make for an easier time for beginners.

Curious if anyone bought all of those 90% off ep7 & 8 figures and sell them at celebration. Would those Rose Tico and Rey figures move at MSRP?

Elkkthunder Posted April 10, 2019 Share Posted April 10, 2019 I am surprised no one has found the link. The Funko pop guys have all the links before they go live. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We can't trust LEGO to know then meaning of the word "Exclusive" anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
