Collectibility
High demand. Collectors of Imperial armies and UCS completionists view this as the definitive version of the character.
History
Follows a long line of Veers figures starting from the 2003 original, showing the extreme evolution of LEGO Star Wars detail over 18 years.
Interesting Facts
This was the first General Veers to feature dual-molded legs, a detail usually reserved for the high-end Ultimate Collector Series figures.
Display Suggestions
Best displayed in the cockpit of a 75313 AT-AT or on the character plaque stand that comes with the UCS set.
Modification Potential
Excellent tactical parts for Imperial MOCs; the legs alone are highly sought after for customizing other Rebel or Imperial ground troops.

A masterpiece of LEGO Star Wars design. The dual-molding and military detailing make it one of the best Imperial figures ever produced. Highly recommended for serious collectors.
