For Hyperspace members who may have missed their chance to snag one of the cool Darth Vader or Stormtrooper LEGO maquettes offered last year exclusively at StarWarsShop, you might want to hang around your computer this holiday weekend. Starting August 30, StarWarsShop will be reposting the Vader and Stormtrooper maquettes exclusively for Hyperspace members for a limited time.
Where did these extra maquettes come from, you ask, since the original edition was sold out months ago? Good question. As it happens, a percentage of the original 1,000 units were set aside for promotional purposes -- you know, contest give-aways and gifts to distributors, that kind of thing. Well, in response to repeated customer inquiries and the new line's increasing demand, StarWarsShop has secured these remaining units exclusively for its Hyperspace customers.
Sculpted by the artisans at Gentle Giant Studios, these Lucasfilm-branded maquettes feature interchangeable heads and a removable LEGO Star Wars plaque (both held fast magnetically). There is also the chance you'll receive an edition that includes a rare chase head -- Anakin for Vader and Han for Stormtrooper -- that are randomly inserted into some of the figure packages!
Hyperspace members will get an exclusive purchasing window open to them August 30 through September 4 -- after which, any remaining units will be made available to the general public. There will be a limit of three per customer.
Don't risk missing these again! And if you're not already a Hyperspace member, what are you waiting for? Join today!.
