Many of you may know that during the recent Star Wars Weekend in LEGOLand, CA, the park sold a seemingly exclusive chrome silver Stormtrooper magnet that many fans and collectors including me have went lengths to get the limited 2 per customer. Good news for everyone: it has been confirmed with LEGO that the silver Stormtroopers will be making their way to LEGO stores and online worldwide in the next week or two.
If you’re wondering, you get a normal minifig with all the detachable parts. The cost should not exceed $12.99, which is the price they were sold at LEGOLand.
$13 for a minifigure…. only in Star Wars would people even consider that.
I got mine.
David4 – You think people wouldn’t pay that much for other figures, if they were decked out in all chrome? I bet they would.
What I want to know is, how long until someone with way too much money to throw around accumulates a whole army of these?
Just because I’m like that I was going to moan about your odd spelling of “LEGOland” and tell you it is “Legoland”. Then I checked the park website and it is always written “LEGOLAND”. Either way “LEGOland” just looks weird, but thanks for the update. :)
hello,
i wonder how this information is confirmed with LEGO? To my knowledge the retail stores don’t even know they are getting these. I was able to order 5 from LEGOLAND…
^ We confirmed this with the LEGO Community Team.
my store will be receiving them tomorrow :)
this is pretty cool even if it is going to be 13 dollars.
Hooray!
whalesekins: Which store?
LEGO Stonebriar has a the new “dark side” magnet set as well as the chrome stormtroopers.
