LEGO Super Heroes DC Universe Man of Steel Polybag - Jor-El

Vu on eBay, this new polybag containing the minifig of Jor-El, Superman's father, in a Man of Steel version (LEGO Reference 5001623).

The minifigure is superb, no doubt about it. No information for the moment on the mode of distribution of this polybag in the LEGO network, and unless this minifig is missing from your collection to the point of not recovering, better to wait to know the extent of its availability to come rather than spending the 40 € requested by the seller ...

You can access the sale sheet for this polybag by clicking on the link below or on the image above:  LEGO 5001623 Superman Jor-El Exclusive Polybag.
