![]() ![]() The top and bottom halves of the box are sealed with a piece of LEGO BrickHeadz tape, while the two halves of the box are made from a premium heavy-duty cardboard that’s even thicker than the boxes for LEGO Ideas and Architecture sets (the two other themes that are marketed beyond the core ages 5-12 and AFOL demographics). Unlike any other LEGO sets we’ve built, the box for Boba and Han slides open vertically. This review, in addition to providing a vicarious build experience for those not privileged enough to attend NYCC or able to purchase the set on the secondary market, will discuss LEGO’s business practice of releasing limited-run products in ways that prevent most actual builders and LEGO fans from ever getting their hands on the set. We reviewed Detention Block Rescue (the set LEGO sold at Star Wars Celebration earlier this year), and we recently purchased the New York Comic-Con exclusive 41498 Boba Fett & Han Solo in Carbonite BrickHeadz on eBay for $105 so we could bring our readers another review of a set you may not be able to get yourselves.Ĥ1498 Boba Fett & Han Solo in Carbonite includes 329 pieces, and while it was sold at the event for an already inflated $40, its original price during NYCC frankly doesn’t matter - it’s currently available ranging from $110 to $300 for Buy It Now listings on eBay and $112 to $145 for marketplace listings. Invariably, the sets reflect highly collectable subject matter like Star Wars and Marvel super heroes. If you know of any, please don’t hesitate to tell us in the comments.Over the last few years, LEGO has released a number of limited-run sets and sold them at non-LEGO events like San Diego Comic-Con. You have to agree that with one of these in your portfolio, you will always be called a master LEGO builder, don’t you think? I keep wondering if anyone has attempted the same build more recently, especially now that there are some really cool electronic LEGO blocks as well. I guess it’s not known what Nathan decided to do after this build. To know that it is entirely made out of LEGO doesn’t make it any less impressive either. Even though it was finished back in 2008, I am still impressed by the sheer size and detail of it. This six foot tall LEGO build belongs in a museum somewhere where Star Wars replicas are considered to be the greatest achievement the human race has ever come up with. The finished Han Solo frozen in Carbonite is not only a mammoth build, but it’s ever so impressive to look at as well since it is made out of almost all gray LEGO blocks. It took Nathan over 3 months to make it, and it required over 10,000 pieces of LEGO blocks in order to complete it. The Han Solo frozen in Carbonite that Nathan created is actually a life-size LEGO build that is as insane to look at as it must have been to build it. There is a lot of Han Solo frozen in Carbonite stuff out there, but few are as epic and mind-twisting as the one Nathan put together. He started building the Han Solo frozen in Carbonite using just LEGO. Apparently so does Nathan Sawaya, who back in 2008 decided to start building what had to be the coolest thing anyone had ever shared on the Internet. As you might know if you have been visiting Bit Rebels for a long time, we consider the LEGO block to be the solution to everything. But so far we haven’t covered the ultimate creativity of them all, the LEGO approach. ![]() When it comes to Star Wars and Han Solo frozen in Carbonite, we have covered pretty much everything from office desks to chocolate bars. ![]()
