Probable May the 4th Figure showing up

[Huskers1236]

Pictures of a Hoth Han Solo are coming out. I know it was talked about in another thread a while back but I couldn't find it. I'm disappointed that the info I got about this figure was correct as it's not that cool. It is screen accurate though. I will try to add a picture.

[dakotahorn]

Will I get one? Yes. Am I disappointed. Yes.

If this proves true then it's a real bummer. TLG should've made a new minifigure that has never been produced. (New jedi, bounty hunter, etc.)

[Huskers1236]

I will definitely get them because completionists will need them and I will happily sell them. But I am very disappointed.

I actually kind of like the figure, just not his hood. I would have preferred a different figure though.

It's too common of a figure, and not exactly that rare. Han Solo? He is like one of the most over-used minifigures in the Lego world! Better to get those double VIP points IMO.

[Darth_Raichu]

Yea baby... yellow hood for Han...... Someone should snap a pic with Han wearing that ridiculous hood :(

[sadowsk1]

Disappointed face.

[Darth Lego]

Disappointed face.

This is what my face looked like. LOL.

I don't think they will get as many orders as they did last year. Disappointing

Boba Fett is a common figure as well, yet variations of him are worth hundreds. This won't reach those heights, but it will be a $15-20 figure just because of supply and demand. This is just another version, and is more accurate than the blue ones that have been released. Though the hood looks goofy.

So, since I'm new with getting back into Lego and "missed" every other year, what do you have to do to get one of these? Is it one of those "spend 50 bucks on Star Wars get a free polybag" things?

I didn't know either but found this which explained it. Hope it helps, because I was clueless as well

So how is this one going to do investment wise? What did the last couple of years ones do?

Thanks. Hopefully it will either be free with a small purchase or free along with something else on a larger purchase. Looks like they gave away more in past years.

The Shadow ARF Trooper from 2011 is going for around $30 new. This Han Solo will probably get near $30 in a couple of years because it will be exclusive. (If TLG had decided to produce a brand new/exclusive minifigure then it would've been worth a lot more down the road versus this minifigure.)

Lol, nice.

Not a very exciting polybag figure. You'd think that TLG would know better by now and offer really cool minifigures that may never make it into a set otherwise. To those asking earlier, you have to spend $75 to get the Hoth Han. There will be a better polybag Super Heroes promotion later in May. The polybag isn't super exciting, unless the torso print is new because then it would be really awesome, but hard to tell with preliminary images. With that one you will only need to spend $50 to get it.

That's a curious comment about a better Super Heroes polybag. IS there a better polybag for Super Heroes coming?

I saw the picture of this minifigure through another website that has the reverse side of Han Solo's head with a visor and face shield and I have to say I like it a bit more now though I believe Lego could have done better. If there is a Super Heroes Promo figure this year I would happily pay a large amount for a chrome red and gold iron man. Oh man that would be sweet.

I think a lot of people would.

I've got nearly $100 in VIP points to use, but am a bit iffy about using them towards getting the Han minifig, especially with if there is a cool Super Hero one on the horizon. Guess we will just have to wait and see what is leaked.

[Blackjack]

We should have gotten an Ugnaught.

The Hoth Han Solo minifigure has been confirmed as the May 4th Exclusive.

I wonder how many are disappointed with this.

I think a good amount of people are. TLG could have made an exclusive/better minifigure and I don't know why they chose not to do that.
