sadowsk1 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 If years prior to this year are any predictor there should be an exclusive Lego Star Wars Polybag given out to all Lego Star Wars purchases totaling 75.00. Usually there are some sales and deals going on along with free shipping but what would you buy in order to get the free polybag at current msrp prices to reach 75.00? Note - in the past they sometimes give the free minifigure with non Star Wars purchases but for the sake of this thread let's stick to all Star Wars! I would probably pick up: 9489 Endor battlepack x 2 @ 12.99 = 25.98 75001 Old Republic battlepack x 2 @ 12.99 = 25.98 74003 A-Wing @ 24.99 Grand Total 76.95 This order may or may not be repeated more than once... If you have any other sort of rumors about what the exclusive might be, feel free to share! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I have heard that it is a Han Solo fig. I don't want to believe it because that would be really lame. Just a rumor as of now. I would think we will see it soon as the promotion is about 6 weeks away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
legomylego Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 what did they give last year? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 what did they give last year? TC -14 Chrome minifigure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheDarkness Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I think if it is a Han Solo exclusive there will be a drop in sales this year. The TC-14 was awesome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I think if it is a Han Solo exclusive there will be a drop in sales this year. The TC-14 was awesome. I agree. Supposedly it's a Hoth figure since we don't have a proper Episode 5 Han yet, but I don't really have every SW minifig memorized to know if that's true or not.

Pirate Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I dont know what you mean by 'proper', but there have been plenty of hoth Han Solos to date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chihuahualawyer Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I like Han Solo. Maybe he will be made of gold? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadowsk1 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 I wouldn't mind another Han Solo but admittedly my expectations would be pretty high for them to come up with something that is really unique that hasn't been done already.

StarCityBrickCompany Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 Chrome/Metalics minifigs have been the norm - I suppose they could do a tru metalic Carbonite minifig (but I don't think they will). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I dont know what you mean by 'proper', but there have been plenty of hoth Han Solos to date. I think it is supposed to be when he's on the Tauntaun. Don't think we've ever had a Han with that getup. I could be wrong, I don't collect every minifig ever made. Personally, I hope it's a false rumor, as I look forward to this promotion and a Han Solo(outside of a chromed Carbonite) would be a letdown.

stephen_rockefeller Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I think their is a both han solo in the Hoth echo base TRU exclusive. He has a huge parka on.....is that the one you are talking about? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dakotahorn Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I know we're talking about it being han... but is that pure speculation? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mos_Eisley Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 There are currently 4 different versions of Han in the Hoth Gear with a Parka Hood that he wore while riding the Taun Taun. Not a lot of differences between the 4, but there are still plenty of Hoth Hans available that I doubt too many would be excited to see another one. A chrome Han in Carbonite sounds good though.

spener90 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I just found a rumor that it is a Zam Wessel minifigure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huskers1236 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I know we're talking about it being han... but is that pure speculation? For the most part, yes. This came from someone that knew that the TC- 14 was last years giveaway, so they have been given some credit for saying what it was this year. Again, I hope they're wrong. Another Zam Wessel would be cool too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
comicblast Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I just found a rumor that it is a Zam Wessel minifigure.That would be sweet! We haven't seen one of those since like 1999! Not sure if they would make a chrome one, but cool nevertheless. I don't think it will be a Han Solo figure because they already have Celebration Han Solo in a so-called "Exclusive" Character Encyclopedia. Having 2 exclusives of the same character doesn't work for me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Maverick2k1 Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 This thread seems to have gotten off topic. You could always just buy the new UCS X-Wing and reach $75 with no combo needed! But in reality I'm hoping that on may 4th the b-wing finally has a sale/price reduction. What type of % off deals should I expect? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadowsk1 Posted March 19, 2013 Author Share Posted March 19, 2013 I agree that a person can blow past 75 pretty easily, I may make multiple purchases so I try to breach the 75.00 mark but not past it to minimize the overall cost of the minifigure.

In the past I've seen between 10% and 25% off some sets but mostly 10%. I don't remember anything phenomenal. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

justgod Posted March 19, 2013 Share Posted March 19, 2013 I think with the recent record profits and the lackluster Black Friday deals we probably won't see anything great but I hope I am wrong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheDarkness Posted March 20, 2013 Share Posted March 20, 2013 I would have thought the opposite that due to the recent profits, they would want something to stand out to thank customers for their loyalty and their open wallets Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadowsk1 Posted March 20, 2013 Author Share Posted March 20, 2013 Hm, with both the previous posts in mind. For the cost I imagine it takes to make a minifigure I think in either instance the molds have been made so why not throw a freebie out there to promote more buying. It works!
