Rarity
Uncommon. This figure was exclusive to one medium-to-large sized set. It is not mass-market common but remains accessible on the secondary market.
Head
Features a reddish-brown dual-sided head with Lando's iconic mustache and sideburns. One side exhibits a confident smirk, while the other shows a concerned or serious expression. Includes the textured black hair piece (part 21268).
Torso
Bright light yellow torso with a V-neck black collar and intricate silver and black line work detailing his stylish shirt. The back is also printed with shirt seams. Arms are yellow with reddish-brown hands.
Legs
Plain black legs with a black hip piece. No printing is present on the legs for this specific version.
Accessories
Includes a unique double-sided soft fabric cape: the exterior is black and the interior is medium azure (blue). The figure originally comes with a small silver blaster, though the user-provided image shows a custom-built staff/microphone accessory.
Color Scheme
A vibrant color palette consisting of bright light yellow, black, reddish-brown, and a medium azure accent inside the cape. This reflects the flamboyant 1970s-inspired aesthetic of the character in the film.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head and torso. The torso features fine silver metallic ink for the shirt details. No leg or arm printing is included, which is standard for mid-range Star Wars figures of this era.
Variants
This is the main version from the Solo movie. Other Lando variants include the 'Classic' cloud city version (sw1075), the 'Skiff Guard' (sw0813), and the 'General' version from Return of the Jedi (sw0641).
Condition Notes
Common wear points include fraying on the edges of the soft fabric cape and 'smile' stress marks on the torso sides if the arms are moved excessively. The yellow torso is susceptible to visible dirt or scuffs.
Estimated Value
Currently valued between $15.00 and $25.00 USD for a used complete figure. New/Mint condition figures can fetch $30.00+. Prices are stable relative to the popularity of the Solo sub-theme.
Price (New)

Character Background
Representing a younger Lando Calrissian, portrayed by Donald Glover. At this point in the timeline, Lando is a renowned gambler, smuggler, and owner of the Millennium Falcon before losing it to Han Solo in a game of Sabacc.
Design Notes
This figure successfully captures Donald Glover's likeness. The standout element is the two-tone cape, which was a point of praise for its accuracy to the film's costume design. The torso print accurately replicates his Kessel run outfit.
Similar Minifigures
Young Han Solo (sw0915), Qi'ra (sw0916), L3-37 (sw0919), and the 20th Anniversary Lando Calrissian (sw1052).
Collectibility
Moderately high. Donald Glover's portrayal of Lando is a fan favorite, and because this figure only appeared in one set—the flagship Falcon of its wave—it remains a desirable target for Star Wars completionists.
History
Lando Calrissian has been in LEGO form since 2003. This 2018 version marked the first time the character was updated to reflect the 'prequel' era of the standalone films, utilizing modern reddish-brown skin tones and highly detailed torso prints.
Interesting Facts
The fabric used for the cape is the 'soft/spandex' style rather than the starchy paper-like fabric of early LEGO capes, allowing it to drape more naturally. The shirt design is officially referred to as 'V-neck pleated'.
Display Suggestions
Ideal for display inside or next to the Kessel Run Millennium Falcon (75212). Pair with sw0915 (Han Solo) to recreate the Sabacc game scene or the escape from Kessel.
Modification Potential
Great for 'purist' customs of other 1970s-style characters due to the unique yellow torso. The head is frequently used for custom figures of other characters played by Donald Glover (like Childish Gambino or Miles Morales' uncle Aaron).
Overall Assessment
An excellent 8/10 figure. It captures the charm and style of the character perfectly. The two-tone cape is a premium touch that elevates what would otherwise be a simple figure. A core piece for any modern Star Wars collection.
