Lego’s Star Wars Celebration Exclusive Is a Teeny Tiny Tatooine
 |
Basic Lego not minimalist enough? This “purchase of the droids” set reduces Luke, Artoo and Threepio to the barest minimum of color suggestions, with super-mini-Landspeeder and, for some odd reason, a normal minifig-scaled C-3PO. For the element of surprise, I guess, they didn’t reveal this until the very last minute. Like Hasbro should have done…with anything (seriously, no figure exclusive from the primary maker of same?)
It’s going for $40, despite the fact that Lego’s own Facebook page calculates its value at $5.99. Now you know what the Lego markup really is.
