Superman LEGO Store mini-build instructions

For anyone who isn't lucky enough to be able to go to a LEGO Store today to get the free Superman model, here are the building instructions in pdf format.

I am not providing you with the sticker with the iconic logo of the man in the blue tights, but I think a simple Google search and a correct printer should allow you to reproduce this symbol and complete your model.

The level of detail seems exceptional with a very elaborate design on the torso and arms of the minifigure. I immediately go to contact him to ask him the price of this little gem. I already know it's going to hurt the wallet, but I can't ignore this character ...

The minifig is for sale in the Christo eBay store at this address.
