I just saw this over on eBay. Someone is giving up. I see that they have Series 1-13, the Lego Movie and both of the Simpsons sets. No Team GB and no Mr Gold. I really like the display case, so I thought you might enjoy it as well.
I like the way that they displayed this!

Please see the TT Games Acrylic Trophy Brick below. I am trying to identify what set that this comes from? Does anyone know? I found this over here on Tumblr. I also found the Rock band one that is show at the bottom of the post as well. He was never released as a minifigure that I know of either? Does anyone know better?
I found a few more of these yesterday and ended up adding about 5 more to my collection.
A few readers have chimed in that this is the Ronin figure from Set 70735 without a hat and face covering.
See Here.
I also noted this seller selling a bunch of these for about $20! Wow, I sure missed my chance. Please see these below. He had about 5 of them if you look at this shold items.
Also, as long as you are looking, this Rock Bank minifigure was never released as a regular minifigure, was it? Just as a key chain. Or did I miss it?

This book was give to approximately 125 – 150 people at the 2010 New York Toy Fair along with a White Boba Fett in a plain clear bag.. I believe that they were also handed out at the Lego store in New York or at en event in the UK. I cannot seem to remember exactly where. But I believe that about 2000 of these books were created. I scanned in all of the individual pages below. I just looked on eBay and they have 2 currently available here and here.
Please let me know if you have any additional details about these items. Click on any of the pages below to see a high resolution scan.

Back in the day when I collected everything Lego Star Wars, Lego started producing these Connect and Build Pens. As stated, I was collecting everything Lego Star Wars and these were Lego, Star Wars and Minifigures. So I collected them. Ha. I stopped the collection and never quite finished, but I found these today and decided to finish it up. See the ones that I currently have in the picture below and the 6 that I am missing at the bottom of the post.
They came out with a few designs that they never released in minifigure form and some of them were pretty useful for customizing. The Chrome Jango helmet for example.
Also, if you are looking for a Chrome c-3po on a budget, this one can be had for about 10 bucks on eBay. It is not perfect, but it is better than nothing if you do not want to spend $500 bucks.
I just pulled the figures from the pens and threw out the rest of the pieces since they were impossible to display as pens. Some of the pieces are pretty neat and they are all interchangeable.
Well, what do you think? Do they belong in a proper minifigure collection or not? In all fairness, I should warn you that these are not of the same quality as regular lego minifigures. It is very unfortunate that lego put out a product like this and that they did not keep the quality level the same.
I am planning to add the to the priceguide with the other 7500 figures once I get the last few of these.
Bricklink has 42 different Star Wars pen sets, but alot of them are duplicates.
Additionally, some of them have the word Lego written on the back like this and some do not. You will have no way of knowing until the set is opened. Because of this, I did not worry about variations in this way. You can see this below. Also note the different color variations as well. For these two reasons, I will just list one for each figure and not worry about these two items. If any one knows of a good list that has all of these variations, let me know.
Here are the rest that I am currently missing for a few more minutes. Do you know of any others.

Another book to sit on my shelf from DK Books. However, as boring as that may sound, this one looks pretty nice and might be a good read. I am a sucker for interesting facts about minifigures. I wonder if they will have any that I do not know about? Hmmmmm.
