3,000 Made. A New Packaging Format That Nobody Expected. A Comics Code Authority Parody Stamp. And Two Characters Having A Conversation About Parsecs. The 2018 SDCC exclusive that changed the format entirely. After five years of rectangular boxes, 75512 arrived in tall, narrow packaging with a retro comic book graphic design — speech bubbles, halftone dots, bold outlined lettering, and a holographic numbered sticker in the corner. The set itself has no exclusive elements. The box is the point.

Raffle Winners Only. Five More Via Twitter. A Hashtag Printed On The Seal. And The Last Set In The Rectangular Box Format. The SDCC 2015 exclusive broke from the first-come-first-served and ticket formats of previous years — COMCON044 was available only to raffle winners, plus five additional sets given to winners of a Twitter competition. The Dagobah vignette is the most atmospheric of the three 2015 mini-builds, and the box is the last in the series that used the rectangular format introduced in 2013.

1,000 Made. A Droid Nobody Had Seen In Physical Form. The Same Ship Released The Same Summer At A Convention On A Different Continent. And A Back Panel That Tells You Exactly What You’re Holding Before You’ve Opened It. The SDCC entry in a two-set 2014 strategy that split the Ghost Starship across two events and two continents — Chopper at San Diego, Kanan Jarrus at Fan Expo Canada in Toronto. Both sets were character reveals for Star Wars Rebels ahead of its October 2014 premiere. To own both, you needed a passport.

1,000 Made. A Ticket Required To Buy One. The First LEGO Star Wars Character Exclusive To Exist Only In LEGO Media. And A Box That Is Itself A Piece Of Storytelling. The first set in the rectangular box format that LEGO used for Star Wars exclusives from 2013 through 2015. COMCON032 introduced JEK-14 to the world weeks before his debut in the Yoda Chronicles animated series — making this the only SDCC exclusive where the set itself was a character reveal. The minifigure is unique to this set and has never appeared in any retail release.

1,000 Made. No Raffle Required. A Retail Set You Could Already Pre-Order. And Packaging So Good It’s Worth More Than What’s Inside. The most accessible SDCC Star Wars exclusive of its era — no lottery, no raffle, just walk up and buy it. The build inside was a retail set anyone could get in September. What made COMCON015 worth having was a brown cardboard shipping box pretending to be a care package from Santa Claus, and a limited edition holiday print that has never been properly documented anywhere.

1,800 or 2,000 Made. A Daily Lottery to Buy It. Five Cardstock Collector Cards Nobody Talks About. And an Instruction Book You Can Only See When the Light Hits It Just Right. The first of two CubeDude exclusives LEGO released in the summer of 2010 — and the one that introduced the format to the Star Wars collector world. Five Clone Wars characters, a fragile cardstock box that most examples haven’t survived intact, and contents that have never been fully documented.

1,200 Made. Four Days. The First Time LEGO Star Wars Came to San Diego. Two retail sets, five extra minifigures, a two-sided poster, and an outer box that tells you exactly what year it is. $75.99. Sold out in four days.
