When there is no more, there is still ...

francelegoboy just sent me this scan of a strange letter inserted by LEGO in the package of his order during the promotion of May 4 & 5, 2012.

And the least we can say is that at LEGO we don't make the same mistakes twice. Indeed, the mega-exclusive R2-D2 collector's poster turned out to be sold out, and LEGO simply chose to replace it with ... a second TC-14.

This gives us a good indication: The out of print poster was available in a limited series of 20.398 copies. We can therefore roughly deduce that LEGO has flooded the planet with at least 20.398 TC-14s ... which should have a large influence on its resale price in the medium term. Note that currently the minifig is sold for a little over 20 €.

Blessed are those who did not have the right to the poster ....
