This 5001709 LEGO Star Wars Clone Trooper Lieutenant Minifigure was given out to volunteers during Star Wars Weekend at LEGOLand California as well as kids who entered a trivia competition. Its a neat minifigure to have, but with its very limited availability, prices for this in the secondary market will definitely be high. Hopefully, this minifigure will be more widely available in the near future. (via FBTB and Brickset)

After seeing the pictures and the designer video for the LEGO Creator/Expert/UCS version of the Sydney Opera House, now compare this with the exisiting 21012 Sydney Opera House from the Architecture line (its also currently on sale at Amazon America for 30% off at $28.06). The new one definitely looks better with more detail. But which one do you think is better when your considering the price? The larger Creator version that is about 8 times more expensive or the smaller Architecture one?
