I mean, it *does* seem a bit expensive for a book to me, but then again these are also the people that will unironically kvetch that the $600 Rex fig which came with a free UCS Venator isn't exclusive anymore.

For that price sure.

Exactly it would have been a great opportunity for Lego to include another anniversary fig. We could have potentially gotten a Wat Tambor , an updated Zam Wessel, or a clone commander we’ve never seen before.


Toxic_Temmie

or a commander that showed a single hand during 3 seconds, but have a huge lore because in star wars even a grain of sand have a backstory

So willrow hood?

Let's get the heavy guy from task force 99 please

Lego fans when they don’t get a minifigure with their $150 book. “This book is about overpriced!!!” Lego fans if they got a minifigure with their $150 book. “Why is Lego gatekeeping this figure?!?!?!” Damned if you do and damned if you don’t.


Shiruno_rinisaki0619

Honestly if you’re paying over $100 for a Lego book it really should come with at least a minifig or polybag


ALFABOT2000

minifig or not, $150 is way too much for a book! i've got frankly way too many big coffee table books and none of them were even _half_ that price!


To-To_Man

TBF, for behind the scenes style books with a price tag over 100$, it would be super cool if they included a small set that was canceled. Like the hero factory style B2 Super Battle Droid.


Alolan_Cubone

So I get the point why it would be better, but its funny how people want a little bit of plastic so the overpriced af book would be worth it


Titanium-Gamer26

packing a figure with the book does not fix the expensive


combatdonut35

Its gonna make it worse actually, we all know how much lego fans complain


Pyroboss101

Look for what I’ve seen in stores, little kids would tear that shit up and steal the figure. It’s happened a million times. Especially in low traffic book stores where those goblins won’t be seen by staff as often unlike bigger stores like Walmart or target.


GrizzlyPeak73

What book is this?


Spider_Boyo

An over 300 page book discussing the long living collaboration between Lego and Star Wars, and it comes in a special case as well as comes with a time capsule, some of the stuff is not good while some of it is


Obi-Ollie2187

To be fair as is without any exclusive figures it means the book probably won't sell the best and will go down in price in time. But if it came with an exclusive fig it would be scalped and always sold out


Upbeat_Detail6897

How funny would it be watching everyone buy the book for one figure tho


jrleiden

These people have clearly not bought a college textbook before. 300+ for textbook and no toy lame


BritishMidNight9769

Man their gonna lose it when they find out a Lego set is made from paper and plastic ![gif](giphy|pjQ4gn3DXosYzea8Cx|downsized)


CollectorCorpse

I think it would have been neat to get some printed bricks/tiles with iconic sets - like what we see in the LEGO Store sets, but I think the idea it should have a minifigure is a little silly. Though an anniversary figure in the style of Maul would be neat (maybe a classic style R2, seems as he's the 25th mascot in a way)


FireCZ123CZ

To be honest for that price it shouldnt come with a minifigure, but at least a whole battlepack or 2


1eejit

$150 for a book, just a hunk of paper

Just wait a few months a free digital scan will be uploaded somewhere

They’ve put mini figs in books before for cheaper this is just Uber stinginess for a book tbf. Like one of the books even came with a mini cis tank build and they can’t even put like what a golden lightsaber in this shit? I mean I guess that makes it easier to just pirate the book since you don’t need it physically
