LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens First Order Stormtrooper (30602) Revealed as May the 4th 2016 Promo

LEGO Star Wars First Order Stormtrooper (30602) - May the 4th

If you missed my previous post of the LEGO May 2016 Store Calendar, the exclusive minifigure was revealed to be the LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens First Order Stormtrooper (30602). At first, the minifigure looks extremely close to the one found in the First Order Battle Pack (75132). The only difference is that the torso has a minor addition and a backpack. This version of the Stormtrooper looks to be Jakku version of the character but that could be debated.

Initial responses to the First Order Stormtrooper (30602) have been somewhat negative as many people are fine with the one that came in the Battle Pack. Since technically it is a new exclusive, albeit the small changes, polybag collectors will still probably want one however there could have been other better choices of characters. Do note that the threshold to get the minifigure for free is now $50 for 2016 instead of the $75 from previous years. Maybe LEGO is banking on people getting multiples of this polybag with the lower price.

Brick Generals Custom One Punch Man Saitama LEGO Minifigure Review

March 18, 2016 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

A few weeks ago, Brick Generals, formerly known as Brick Bastards started selling a new custom LEGO minifigure named Superhero. If you follow Japanese manga or anime, you would instantly recognize him as Saitama, the protagonist from One Punch Man (ワンパンマン). I never purchase custom minifigures but I knew I had to get it since it’s one of my favorite animes in recent years.

The Superhero is made from 100% LEGO parts including the red boxing gloves as his hands and a white cape. The torso has printing of his yellow jumpsuit while the legs finish off the look. The only thing that I wish it had was red boot printing since he had it in the anime. The head printing is perfect with his rather bland expression but there is some minor smudging on the nose. Otherwise the

The price for the Saitama/Superhero minifigure is SGD 29.90 which ended up to be about $25 with the currency conversion and shipping from Singapore. I think the price isn’t too bad even though there isn’t that much custom printing. Again, you can purchase it from Brick Generals and it took about two weeks from order to delivery.
