    The 2015 Tatooine Mini-build — Fan Expo Canada

    By The Collector • September 3, 2015

    800–900 Made. The Rarer Half Of The 2015 Tatooine Pair. R2-D2 Instead Of C-3PO. And The Last Fan Expo Canada Exclusive In This Collection. The Fan Expo Canada entry in the 2015 Tatooine pair — identical build to CELEB2015, different droid, smaller production run, and a higher secondary market value as a result. FANEXPO002 is the second and final Fan Expo Canada exclusive in this collection’s LEGO Star Wars run.

    The 2015 Dagobah Mini-build

    By The Collector • July 9, 2015

    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. The Same Build At Two Events. C-3PO At Celebration. R2-D2 In Canada. A Sandcrawler, A Landspeeder, And A Designer On Site To Sign Them. The Star Wars Celebration Anaheim entry in the 2015 Tatooine pair. CELEB2015 recreates the iconic droid scene from A New Hope in microscale — Sandcrawler, landspeeder, moisture vaporators, and a cast of brick-built figures, all on a flat desert base. C-3PO comes as a full minifigure. The same build appeared at Fan Expo Canada five months later with R2-D2 instead. Designer Mark Roe was present at Celebration to sign sets.
