These are probably my favourite BrickHeadz to date. Boba Fett is incredibly detailed and matches the character as he appears in The Empire Strikes Back almost perfectly. Many BrickHeadz figures include familiar building techniques but the bounty hunter is very distinctive, making use of hinges to form his helmet. Han Solo in Carbonite is even more unusual, as one might expect. The Carbonite block looks marvellous and Han Solo himself is immediately recognisable by his hairstyle, despite being entirely monochromatic.
Again, this is a fantastic LEGO set, and I genuinely applaud the designers who created these adorable Star Wars characters. But we just can't condone release strategies that are designed to create divisions within the community we love. Through the re-releases of the UCS Falcon and now 10256 Taj Mahal, product planners at LEGO have demonstrated that they have little regard for the impact new sets create on secondary market prices, and that's something we as builders — rather than hoarders or speculators — can respect. We can only hope that LEGO will re-release these “exclusives" in standard BrickHeadz packaging to a broader market, accessible to all.
