Kevin Hinkle posted a picture of these two figures and some facts about them finally for all of us to know.  This picture was posted to his Flickr page a few days ago.  You can see his page here.

I have never been able to find a good photo of both the female and the male minifigure, so this was a nice surprise finally!

Here are the details that Kevin posted about these figures.

These exclusive LEGO Minifigures were given to participants of the 2015 LEGO Brand Retail Manager’s Conference in Houston, Texas; USA. The theme of the conference was “Apocalypse” bringing forth humorous references to zombies and the world after people on PowerPoint slides, name tags, paperwork and giveaways. Each attendee, all employed by the LEGO Group, were given one Minifigure with both a male and female head option in order to customize to their gender of preference.

 

As this item was meant as a fun, one-off keepsake for employees- and not for public consumption- the Minifigures were commissioned externally by the company eclipseGRAFX. Although not released to the public, the designs were still subject to the internal review process in order to comply with LEGO Brand guidelines.

You can see this figure on the Lego Top 100 list rare minifigures list here.

here is the case that these came in.  We saw this posted a while ago

Thanks for looking

Two new Summer Star Wars Sets Encounter on Jakku and Resistance X-wing 2016

Just2Good is reporting on a few upcoming sets in his latest video.  Two in particular are Encounter on Jakku and a larger scale Resistance X-wing fighter.  We should start to see what these sets look like at the London Toy Fair next month I hope.

NRG on Eurobricks summed up the 2016 rumors so far here.

Lego Star Wars 2016 Resistance x-wing fighter

“Polybag sets: Kylo Ren’s Command Shuttle, First Order General, Stormtrooper Finn
Normal sets: Encounter on Jakku, Resistance X-Wing, Anakin’s Podracer, Turbo Tank, A-Wing
UCS sets: Assault on Hoth, Death Star (or Star Killer), Snowspeeder”

I imagine that the resistance X-Wing fighter will be a Blue and Grey themed version of Poe’s X-Wing fighter that we received earlier this year.

Brickset is also confirming that he has these names as well.  So these sound pretty solid.

Other news today…

For those of you that do not know, tonight is when we can all go get the new sets on shop.lego.com

Here is a list of the most sought after sets that are being released tonight at 12:00 EST.

Lego 2002 Ewok Tan Brown Marble Rare Molding Error from Lego Star Wars 7139 Ewok Attack

I found this unique printing/molding error over on Flickr over on Jeremy Moody’s photo Stream here.

You may remember Jeremey’s photo Stream from a few weeks ago when he posted the Hang on the Wall Lego Color Chart which was everywhere on reddit and Facebook for a few days.  I even posted about it here as well even though it was not a minifigure.

In case you missed that, you can see it here on his Flickr page.  It was a really nice piece.  I almost thought about making one of my own until I started to price out what it would cost.  🙂

I have seen Lego Marbled bricks before, but this is the first Lego Marbled Minifigure that I have ever seen.  I am sure that more exist, but this is the first one I have come across.  If any of you know of others, drop me a PM or an email or leave a comment on this post.

A Lego Marble Error happens when the Lego employees do not fully clean out the Machine when they decide to print pieces in a new color.  I imagine that this is a by product of cleaning the machine and that these are figures are usually just destroyed or thrown into the recycling bin.  In this case, it would appear that the brown from the Wicket minifigure was not fully cleaned out and they were starting a run of tan Pabloo figures.

One of the employees must have taken a shine to this and took it home.  I am glad that they did since this is a really nice piece.

This particular error appears to come from the Lego Wicket and Pabloo Minifigures included in the Ewok Attack set from the 2002 Star Wars line.  Set Number 7139 (Click to see Bricklink reference for this set)

I think that I would have included this with my post on Lego Star Wars Prototypes if I had seen this before I wrote that post.  You can see all of the Star Wars Prototype minifigures that I have been able to find in this post here.

I did a quick google search here for marbled bricks if you want to see a few others, just click here.

I also noted a forum on BrickSet here with some additional information about Marbled bricks.  I did not see anything on minifigures, but the concept is the same.

Thanks for looking

Lego Hungarian Factory Gift 4002015 Borkum Riffgrund Offshore Windfarm Rare Set

This post and site contains Affiliate links. I may earn a small commission if you click on them. Click here for more details.

EDIT:  I am not sure how many of these were produced as a bunch of Lego Employees appear to have received these today and we are seeing a bunch of posts up on Facebook.

EDIT: PROMOBRICKS.DE just did a nice write up on this on 12/14/2015 that added a few additional details here.  This is in German if you like, or google translate will convert it to English.

EDIT:  Per Bobby P, these are also listed on Bricklink and they come with a bag that has the employees name on it.  They are on Bricklink for about $1000.00.  So you may also want the bag.  🙂
This is a really nice looking set that Lego definitely should have released to the general population.  It looks like the price is going to be crazy for this and it is going to be a highly collectible set.  This would look great with the Ferry set that was just discovered a few days ago.  Here is a review from Brickset.

 

I do not think that this one will be too difficult to source in parts and make on your own if you wanted to.  GOing to go check to see if Lego has uploaded the instruction yet…. Nope, no dice yet.  Maybe someone will post them soon.

I just found two of these over on ebay here and here.  One is at $31 and the other is currently at $199.   I wonder what they will go for…

This auction in France had one of them that for  310 pounds.  The auction is claiming “Made as specific gift item in connection with opening of Borkum Riffgrund offshore wind park- which Lego is a part owner of.”

Here is one on GumTree whatever that is.  🙂

Promobricks.de has been finding a whole lot of leaks lately.  Here is a really great one that they just found.   http://www.promobricks.de/ is a German AFOL site.

EDIT:  HMMM Did not realize this was force awakens.  Since Hoth said this was a November Release, I just assumed it was just Star Wars.  So, the embedded images have been removed.

You can see it here.
