Boba Fett (Cloud City - Printed Arms & Legs)
sw0107 · Star Wars
Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back / Cloud City · 2003 (Debuted in set 10123 Cloud City)
Figure ID
sw0107
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2003 (Debuted in set 10123 Cloud City)
Rarity
Ultra-Rare. Widely considered one of the 'holy grails' of LEGO collecting due to its exclusive distribution in a single, high-priced set and short production run.
Head
Standard yellow head with a black visor-line print to fill the gap of the helmet; this was the standard for Boba Fett from 2000-2003.
Torso
Light Gray with Green Mandalorian armor printing. Features the iconic 'Cloud City' exclusive arm printing: yellow and brown shoulder pauldrons and gauntlet details on both arms.
Legs
Light Gray with dark green knee pad printing and side-leg pocket printing. These printed legs are exclusive to this specific version of Boba Fett.
Accessories
Classic Dark Gray Boba Fett helmet with integrated rangefinder (non-moving), dark gray jetpack, and a black 'loudhailer' blaster (often paired with a transparent orange stud, though the image shows a black technical variant).
Color Scheme
Predominantly Sand Green, Light Gray, and Dark Gray with accents of Dark Red, Yellow, and Brown for the armor markings and tools.
Printing Details
Revolutionary for 2003. It was one of the first minifigures to feature detailed arm and side-leg printing. The pad printing quality is sharp but the light gray plastic can sometimes show 'bleed' from darker ink.
Variants
This is the sw0107 (printed version). It differs from sw0002 (classic non-printed arms/legs) and sw0396 (2012 redesigned version). There are no official sub-variants of sw0107 itself.
Condition Notes
Look for torso cracks under the arms and heel cracks on the legs. The 'cape' (if present) is fragile. The printing on the arms is prone to friction wear. This figure is extremely susceptible to 'brittle gray' syndrome if exposed to UV.
Estimated Value
Used: $2,000 - $2,500; New/Mint: $3,500 - $5,000+. Price fluctuates heavily based on the crispness of the arm printing and lack of torso cracks.
Price (New)
Original set 10123 Cloud City retailed for $99.99 USD in 2003. The Boba Fett figure alone now sells for more than 25 times the original MSRP of the entire set.

Character Background
The galaxy's most feared bounty hunter, seen here as he appeared in 'The Empire Strikes Back' while delivering Han Solo in Carbonite to Jabba the Hutt at Cloud City.
Design Notes
This figure marked a turning point in LEGO design where additional printing (arms/legs) was used to justify 'Master Builder' or large-scale play set exclusivity. It remains the gold standard for 'retro' detail.
Similar Minifigures
sw0002 Boba Fett (Classic), sw1158 Boba Fett (Mech version), and sw0102 Lando Calrissian (also from set 10123).
Collectibility
Maximum Tier. It is a cornerstone of any high-end Star Wars collection and a primary driver of value in the secondary LEGO market.
History
Released in 2003 as part of the semi-experimental 'Master Builder' style set 10123. It was discontinued quickly as LEGO moved toward more simplified designs before the 2010 detail revolution, making it a rare bridge between eras.
Interesting Facts
Because the set 10123 sold poorly at the time of release, many copies were discounted or destroyed, leading to the current extreme scarcity of the minifigures contained within.
Display Suggestions
Should be kept in a UV-protected acrylic case. Display alongside the Carbonite Block (also seen in your image) and the original 2003 Gamorrean Guard for a proper 'Bounty' scene.
Modification Potential
Low. Due to its extreme value, any modification or swap of parts is highly discouraged as it significantly devalues the item. Purity is key for this figure.
Overall Assessment
The sw0107 Boba Fett is the most iconic and sought-after Star Wars minifigure in existence. Its unique printing and 'mythical' status from the 10123 set make it the ultimate target for serious investors.
