    By The Collector • October 10, 2012

    1,000 Made. The Third Tin Of 2012. An Exclusive Luke Skywalker Minifigure Found Nowhere Else. And The Most Valuable Of The Three By A Significant Margin.

COMCON019 established the format that all three 2012 exclusives shared — cylindrical metal tin, panoramic label artwork, medallion lid, numbered label panel — and set the template for the mini ship series that LEGO would continue at SDCC through 2015.
