A Month of Lego - Indiana Jones and COMCON002-1

There are only 18 sets in the Indiana Jones series and they range in size from 79 pieces (two sets actually) to the 929 piece Temple of the Crystal Skull. I don’t own a single Indiana Jones set, but my neighbor in Texas collected them all. Personally, I would lean towards the 7628 Peril in Peru because I like planes, but because I don’t have one yet, I’ll probably stay clear.

Today however, I want to highlight a special set. I wanted to bring to the attention of the Meh folks out there that the LEGO Group often creates limited releases. In this case, a run of only 500. And to be lucky enough to purchase one of these, you had to follow these easy steps:

  1. go to SDCC

SDCC

  1. line up for a raffle ticket

  1. be lucky enough to be one of 100 to have your ticket drawn

  1. pay for your set

or

  1. come back the next day to try again.

And if you are lucky enough, this 200 piece set can be yours!

Not a bad little set. 3 minifigs, a jeep and a pit of sorts for it to crash into.

But I will admit, it is pretty cool to own one of only 500 LEGO sets sold, but not sure the effort would be worth it. I’ve never been to a Comic Con. Not real big on crowds you see. So, I’ll just have to drool from my home.

What about you? What is your favorite Non-Retail, Special Edition, Limited run set? I have one that is on my list to tell you about later in the month. One I still want to buy (and probably will), just haven’t gotten around to it. Until tomorrow, be special my friends.
