![]() Not in scale with real LEGO for some reason.Ĥ. HEAVY for actually using it as a keychain.ģ. Released the same day as Mandalorian Season 2 instead of a Mandalorian promo…Ģ. Even if the threshold was $5 it’s still bad here’s why…ġ. This is my unboxing, initial impressions, & review! I purchased $100 of LEGO Star Wars sets to obtain this and while the cost doesn’t really turn me off the promo does. Providing TBB with products guarantees neither coverage nor a positive review.LEGO Star Wars has a final offer promo for 2020! A METAL Han Solo in Carbonite Keychain that disappoints on so many levels. ![]() The LEGO Group provided The Brothers Brick with an early copy of this set for review. Boba Fetts is constructed on a 6圆 plate so remains perfectly stable on display while Han Solo in Carbonite necessitates a wider stand with a slot for the Carbonite block. The Han Solo Carbonite Metal Keychain (5006363) will be available to VIP members with LEGO Star Wars purchases over US $100 | CAN $100 | UK £100 from now through Nov. Each BrickHeadz model stands on a unique black base. The fact that the promotion is only running for a week indicates that LEGO probably didn’t make a huge quantity of them, and while it’s boilerplate legalese, they can end the promo early if they run out. For those who do want it, though, you’re better off not waiting. It will only be available for a week, so if you’d rather get a free small brick-built set with your $100 worth of LEGO, you probably won’t have to wait long. But it’s also a free item that’s designed and packaged well. The Han Solo in Carbonite minifigure has since become one of the most sought-after LEGO pieces, with some sellers asking for upwards of 1,000 for the figure. The figure was incredibly popular, selling out almost immediately. The keychain won’t be for everyone not everyone needs one, and not everyone wants one this heavy. In 2010, the LEGO company released a special edition Han Solo in Carbonite minifigure as part of its Star Wars line. This is the sort of promotional item that ought to have been included in the Star Wars Black Card VIP fiasco for early purchasers of the UCS Millennium Falcon (rather than the cardholder). A keychain is a useful tchotchke, and one that’s both classy and durable while still being appropriately nerdy is just what we needed. 58 comments Help your fellow builder by leaving your feedback based on these three criteria: Originality:How original is this - never seen before Building Techniques:How much skill do you think the creator of this MOC has, in terms of building technique Details:Express how much you like the details of the build. While great brick-built traditional LEGO sets are always sure to be a crowd-pleaser as gift-with-purchases (take, for instance, the recent 40407 Death Star II Battle set) it’s exciting to get something different from time to time, especially something that appeals to adults. LEGO SET 5006363-1 - Han Solo in Carbonite Metal Key Ring LEGO Sets Gear Key Chain 2020 5006363-1 Available as a gift with purchases exceeding 100 of LEGO Star Wars sets by VIP members at LEGO Brand Stores or from the online LEGO Shop in the United States between November 1 and November 8, 2020. The figure is a little smaller than minifigure scale, because a proper minifigure-scale version would definitely have been too large and heavy to hang off your ignition or sit comfortably in your pocket. It’s stamped with the LEGO VIP logo and the copyright info, as well as 07/20, which seems to be the date of manufacture. Unlike the regular plastic version which has a hollow back for hiding the regular Han Solo minifigure, the back of the metal block is solid. During the Galactic Civil War, the bounty hunter managed to track down Captain Han Solo to Bespin on a contract for the Galactic Empire, hoping to deliver. In fact, if there’s one gripe I might have with it, it’s that it might be too heavy for some people to attach to their keys and lug around all day, unless they like a lot of extra weight in their pocket. But it is quite clear it’s a solid block. I’m no metallurgist so I can’t tell you what alloy of steel it is, except that I’m reasonably sure it’s not actually carbonite. ![]() The first thing I noticed when picking up the keychain is how heavy it is. The front side, of course, depicts Han Solo in high relief frozen in carbonite from The Empire Strikes Back. Even the somewhat exclusive, randomly distributed, chrome-red VIP Minifigure keychain from a few years ago got the cardboard tag treatment. It’s a more premium feeling package design than most gift-with-purchase sets, and definitely a cut above the usual keychain packaging, which typically consists of just a cardboard tag. Lifting the lid off the box reveals the keychain laid into a custom-cut piece of foam, beneath a piece of tissue paper.
