Do you all remember the contest for all of the Millenium Falcon Black VIP Card holders to win an exclusive 1 of a kink White Gold R2-D2 minifigure? You can read about this here if you do not.
Basically, lego Lego entered everyone that has a Black VIP card into a contest to win the Exclusive 1 of a kind 18K Gold R2-D2 minifigure. This will clearly be at or near the top of the list of Top 100 minifigures as you can all guess. I created a survey to allow all of you to submit what you think it is worth. Please see the survey link at the bottom of the post. It is just two questions, so it will only take you a few seconds and it will help to determine what it is worth on the website.
This minifigure was created last year by Lego along with several others that are made out of platinum and silver. This is 1 of 1 or the only one that was made out of White Gold. So this is very similar to the Bronze C-3PO minifigure here that I wrote about last year.
The winner of this figure is a Bryan with www.broke4bricks.com. You can contact Bryan at broke4bricks@gmail.com if you have any specific questions about the minifigure. Bryan is a lifelong AFOL and feel free to contact him if you have any questions.
Lego was kind enough to pre-wrap the minifigure in an Acrylic case and give it a 1 of 1 Certificate of Authenticity! I wonder if you get this graded if they will wrap it in another acrylic case. I think I would so that it did not get scratched at all! It does not look like the figure comes out of the case, so that would be tough for me. I like to hold my minifigures.
You can see from the picture above that the detail on this figure is amazing and I am sure that all of you would love to add this to your collection! But to quote a little Highlander, There can be only one!
Brian shared a copy of the letter that he received from Lego when they sent him the minifigure as well! See below.
Finally, as you can tell, the figure also came with a Jason Whiting minifigure as well. I could not imagine holding this and shipping it in a box and not wanting to keep it. I think that this letter is a nice touch and shows that Lego knows its AFOL community! I just wish that I had won the figure. 🙂
