LEGO Star Wars Minifigures: White Boba Fett

Now Showing
LEGO Star Wars white Boba FettThis white version of sw002 is the first Boba Fett promotional figure to have been released this year. This figure was handed out to 150 attendees of the 2010 US Toy Fair, various AFOL conventions, LEGOLAND Star Wars Days, and Star Wars Celebration V. It is believed that 10,000 of these figures have been produced.

The figure is a tribute to the original concept sketch for 'bounty hunter' by Ralph McQuarrie. With the 30th anniversary of The Empire Strikes Back in May 2010, its not surprising to see why Boba is such a focus this year.

Ralph McQuarrie's Boba Fett Concept SketchMinifigure Parts and AccessoriesThe figure comes in the same four parts as sw002: head, torso, legs, and helmet/jet pack combo, but in all white with details outlined in black.

Figures have not come with a blaster to date.

Army Building Potential
The ABP of this figure is moderate, only for the reason that multiples may be hard to come by.

Big Draw
Although 10,000 seems like a lot, these figures are still relatively rare.
