May the 4th: Recap of minifigs offered by LEGO

While everyone is going to have their comments on the next "exclusive" minifigure which will be offered on the occasion of the operation May the 4th, let's take the opportunity to do a quick recap of what LEGO has already offered in the past to celebrate this May 4th day dedicated to the Star Wars universe.

It was not until 2011 that LEGO began to celebrate this international event a little more seriously and to distribute an exclusive minifigure to all customers who take the opportunity to order products from the LEGO range. Star Wars.

Le First Order Stormtrooper (30602) planned this year will therefore be the sixth minifigure offered on the occasion of Operation May the 4th.

In 2011, LEGO offered us a Shadow ARF Trooper (2856197) visually quite successful but out of nowhere, followed in 2012 by a magnificent droid TC-14 (5000063), then in 2013 of a new version of Han Solo in Hoth outfit (5001621) with hood and double-sided face, in 2014 Darth Revan (5002123) was the delight of fans of the Extended Universe and finally in 2015 Admiral Yularen (5002947) joined the small troop of exclusive minifigs.

Everyone will have an opinion on the choices of LEGO in terms of exclusive minifigs: Some will see wasted opportunities, others will manage to be satisfied as every year with the "exclusive" character of the proposed minifigure.

For my part, I am a little disappointed to be entitled to a generic character this year. There was probably better to do and the First Order General polybag 5004406 finally seemed like an almost better option ...
