To capture the spirit of these displays LEGO has seen fit to create a set of exclusive Miniland scale Star Wars characters, and first on the scene are Luke Skywalker, Chewbacca and Obi-Wan Kenobi.
While it is believed that these are either LEGOLAND Florida exclusives – due to the opening of the new The Force Awakens section of their Star Wars Miniland last week – or at the California park’s upcoming LEGO Star Wars Days, the exact genesis of these bagged builds aren’t known. The single source is a seller on eBay who is based in Michigan so there is no clue to be had from his location.
Minifigpriceguide.com, who first reported these sets, believes that there may be more:
“Additionally, it looks like we may have a few more as the set numbers have holes in them and are not sequential.”
The likes of these Miniland inspired characters were first seen in 2011 when LEGOLAND California produced an exclusive Han Solo on Tauntaun for their Ambassador pass holder, and at New York Toy Fair when LEGO created a limited edition Miniland Figures Collector’s Party set with Han Solo and Chewbacca, with space for their make & take Boba Fett.
