Rarity
Uncommon. He was exclusive to a mid-priced set that was available for a standard production window.
Head
Light Flesh color with white beard and hair printing. Features a stern expression with grey brows. Dual-sided printing with a slightly more concerned or shouting secondary expression.
Torso
Tan jacket with multiple utility pockets printed on the front and back. Dark tan undershirt. Flesh-colored hands. Features an Alliance Starbird/Resistance logo variant on the small chest pocket.
Legs
Tan legs with belt and pocket continuation printing. Does not feature side-leg or arm printing.
Accessories
Standard black blaster pistol (as seen in image). In the original set, he is often associated with the map to Luke Skywalker piece, though technically he only carries a handheld blaster in this specific LEGO configuration.
Color Scheme
Dominantly Tan and Dark Tan with white hair and light flesh skin tones, reflecting his Jakku desert scavenger/pioneer aesthetic.
Printing Details
Moderate to high detail. Pad-printed lines for the vest and pockets are sharp and align well with the waist. Features back torso printing for the jacket seams.
Variants
None known. This is the only version of Lor San Tekka ever produced by LEGO.
Condition Notes
Common wear points include the neck joint and hip friction. Given the tan plastic, it is somewhat susceptible to UV discoloration over long periods. Check for torso cracks under the arms.
Estimated Value
Used: $12.00 - $18.00 / New: $22.00 - $28.00 (values vary based on inclusion of correct hairpiece and blaster).
Price (New)
Retail price of Set 75149 was $79.99 USD. This figure was one of four included in the set.
Compatible Sets

Character Background
Lor San Tekka was a member of the Church of the Force and an ally to the Resistance. He provided Poe Dameron with the map to Luke Skywalker on Jakku before being executed by Kylo Ren.
Design Notes
The white hairpiece (part 92081) is well suited for the character's aged look. The torso print is quite versatile for MOCs requiring 'civilian' or 'explorer' attire.
Similar Minifigures
Han Solo (Old Man variant), General Leia Organa, Obi-Wan Kenobi (Ben Kenobi).
Collectibility
High for Star Wars completionists. As he only appeared in one set and represents a specific named character from a film opening, he holds steady value.
History
Debuted a year after the film release into the second wave of The Force Awakens sets. LEGO has not returned to this character since the 2017 retirement of his set.
Interesting Facts
The character in the film was played by legendary actor Max von Sydow. This minifigure captures his likeness remarkably well using standard LEGO face templates.
Display Suggestions
Display alongside Poe Dameron and BB-8 on a tan baseplate to recreate the opening scene of Episode VII. Keep in a UV-protected case to prevent the tan plastic from yellowing.
Modification Potential
The tan vest torso is popular for custom Indiana Jones or Safari-themed minifigures. The hairpiece is frequently used for custom Einstein or 'mad scientist' figures.
Overall Assessment
A solid, specific character representation. While not 'flashy' like a Jedi or Sith, the uniqueness of the character to a single set makes him a necessary piece for any Episode VII collection.
