Almost everything has been said about this exclusive Han Solo minifig in Hoth outfit which will be offered on May 4 and 5 for any purchase of a minimum of € 55 (The amount is yet to be confirmed) on the LEGO Shop.

Vanjey got this bag and offers us some accompanied photos a review.

No surprise, it's Made in China plastic, and I tend to agree with Vanjey about the uselessness of Han Solo's additional hair which could have been replaced by a weapon or a miscellaneous accessory.

Note that the hood delivered with the minifigure is indeed the same color as Han Solo's outfit, contrary to what the visual on the bag suggests.

To read his review, it's on the Brickpirate forum that it happens, the photos are also on his flickr gallery.

I'm curious to see if this minifig will sell for this price, my little finger tells me that there will necessarily be a collector somewhere who will have the means to spend more than 1000 € to acquire this collector minifigure ....
Please note that at this rate, the shipping is NOT offered by the German seller ...
