The characters from the "Star Wars" movies and the extended universe are popular with brick fans that want to build up a collection and purchase play sets based on the minifigures the sets contain. Additionally, LEGO makes limited edition promotional figures, and these incredibly rare toys can realize high prices on the secondary market. LEGO marked the 30th anniversary of the first "Star Wars" movie in 2007 by producing 10,000 gold chrome minifigures of C-3PO. The company sealed each figure in a white plastic bag and then randomly inserted them in "Star Wars" play sets. The figure is one of the rarest and most valuable "Star Wars" figures, demanding a premium on the secondary market as long as it is still in its original white bag. The gold chrome C-3PO from 2007 is actually paint on plastic.
A much rarer version from the same year is real 14 karat gold. There are only five of these valuable figures in existence, so it is important that consumers do not confuse them with the more common painted version. Only one version of the Boba Fett minifigure features printed arms and legs. This rare minifigure is exclusive to the discontinued 2003 Cloud City play set and is now a coveted prize for collectors. In May 2013, a life-sized X-Wing made from LEGO bricks went on display in Times Square. At the same time, the local Toys 'R' Us store gave away an exclusive Yoda minifigure with purchases of the X-Wing construction set. The figure, depicting Yoda in an "NY I love" shirt had a limited run of just 1,000 pieces. In 2009, LEGO celebrated 10 years of LEGO "Star Wars" construction sets by producing a limited edition Darth Vader minifigure. The company randomly inserted this piece inside LEGO "Star Wars" sets to delight lucky purchasers. Although there are several versions of Lando Calrissian available, only one of them features him in his Cloud City outfit.
This desirable minifigure is from the 2003 Cloud City play set, which also contains the rare Boba Fett figure. Princess Leia Organa has appeared in many play sets, but often with exclusive printing, such as the 2002 Jabba's Palace set, where she wears her iconic slave outfit. In the 2009 Battle for Endor set, she appears in the combat outfit worn by Carrie Fisher in the dramatic conclusion to "Return of the Jedi." The TC-4 Protocol Droid looks like C-3PO except it is red instead of gold. This is a Toys 'R' Us promotional figure that is not available in any play sets. Darth Revan is a Sith Lord who retrained as a Jedi after losing his memory. He has never appeared in a "Star Wars" construction set and was only available on the LEGO online store through May in 2014 to celebrate "Star Wars" Day. In addition to the rare Boba Fett figure from the Cloud City play set, there is also an all-white version. This exclusive minifigure had a limited run of 10,000 pieces in 2010 and it has never appeared in any play sets.
In the same year, LEGO produced two all-bronze Boba Fett figures.

The graphic designer has spent over 100 hours building the child-sized bounty hunter for his Star Wars mad son, Caillen, seven. At a convention far, far away... Keith Sheppard with his amazing Boba Fett costume May the force be with him: Caillen Sheppard shows off the Boba Fett costume without the helmetAnd it’s no surprise that the fantastic suit took first place at this year’s Burlington Toycon convention in Ontario.Both huge fans of the Star Wars series and the Lego brand, Mr Sheppard has previously made two other Lego mini figure designs for his son, learning and perfecting his craft with each attempt.Constructed using using Sintra, a lightweight but rigid PVC material, Mr Sheppard was able to construct the torso, hands, jetpack, antenna, legs and most of the helmet.While inside the helmet, Mr Sheppard used pink insulation foam board to carve the dome shape and a closed cell foam called Plastazote to carve the rocket tips and exhausts found on the jetpack. Out of this world: The Boba Fett suit took first place at this year's Burlington Toycon convention in OntarioBut it's the attention to detail that really makes the suit something special.
Not only was the costume spray painted and clear coated but Mr Sheppard even printed vinyl adhesives to copy the graphics on the tiny toy.If that isn't enough, both the antenna and jetpack are in fact removable, just like the Lego version of the cult character, giving his son, Caillen, a welcome break from the full weight of the suit and turning him into a real living, breathing Lego Boba Fett.However, Mr Sheppard has an even more ambitious idea in the pipeline and hopes to create a Star Wars Lego mini figure costume of a character that has not even yet been built by Lego.Mr Sheppard said: ‘I've been a fan of Star Wars for 35 years and never made a Star Wars costume until now, If I hadn't a child, perhaps I would still be saying the same thing. The real deal: Jeremy Bulloch as bounty hunter Boba Fett in the 1980 hit film Star Wars‘I've turned my attention from sculpting my own work to making costumes for him. We love the Star Wars Lego culture and Boba Fett is a great character to recreate.‘
Every Imperial figure would be awesome to build, but Boba Fett is so lush with colour, and has details that are both challenging and visually appealing.‘Making a Star Wars costume for a child is cool - children are the perfect dimensions to bring the mini figure to life.‘Caillen has an extensive Lego collection that includes among others, Star Wars. His love for the movies, characters and mini figures sort of rebooted my passion for both the Star Wars fan culture and the Lego brand.‘I think the mini figure is reflected in a child. They share an innocence and playfulness and I believe that's why people react so positively to these types of costumes.‘Considering this costume was both Star Wars and Lego, I was confident that it would be well received by fans of both communities. However, I never anticipated the costume going viral.‘My partner is very supportive of my projects and loves the results. However, she's not a fan of both the mental and environmental chaos they create. Ultimately, she knows why I do it, for my son, and that makes her happy.’
