Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2014 - Debuted in the B-Wing (75050).
Rarity
Uncommon. This version is exclusive to a single set that had a standard retail run, though the character himself is a cult favorite among collectors.
Head
Light Flesh Sullustan head with high-detail printing including wide black eyes, orange facial markings, and a printed breathing apparatus. It is topped with a Flat Silver rebel pilot helmet featuring molded goggles.
Torso
White torso with a light bluish gray and black life support pack print, representing a B-Wing pilot's flight suit. Back printing includes straps and harness details. Features white arms and black hands.
Legs
Plain white legs with a light bluish gray hip piece. No printing on the legs, which was standard for several pilot figures of this era.
Accessories
Typically packed with a standard light bluish gray blaster pistol and a flat silver helmet (present in the image).
Color Scheme
Dominant white and light bluish gray (consistent with B-Wing pilot gear) with flat silver as the metallic accent for the gear.
Printing Details
High-quality pad printing on the head to capture the unique alien features. Torso printing is sharp and geometrically complex to represent technical pilot life-support equipment.
Variants
The character previously appeared in 2006 (sw0153) with a much simpler design and a yellow-based head. This 2014 version is the modern, more accurate update.
Condition Notes
The white torso and legs are highly susceptible to yellowing if exposed to UV light. Check the neck joint for stress marks and the printing of the black mask for scratches.
Estimated Value
Used: $20.00 - $30.00 USD; New/Condition Mint: $35.00 - $45.00 USD. Prices fluctuate based on the demand for the B-Wing retired set.

Character Background
Ten Numb was a Sullustan pilot who flew for the Rebel Alliance's Blue Squadron during the Battle of Endor. He is the brother of fellow pilot Nien Nunb.
Design Notes
The move from a generic helmet to a Flat Silver helmet was a significant upgrade for this wave, adding a premium metallic feel to the figure's appearance.
Similar Minifigures
Nien Nunb (sw0772), A-Wing Pilot (sw0437), and the 2006 Ten Numb (sw0153).
Collectibility
High for 'Return of the Jedi' completionists and fans of the Rebellion's starfighters. Alien pilots are generally more desirable than generic human pilots.
History
Part of the 2014 'Summer Wave' of Star Wars sets which focused on updating original trilogy ships with modernized minifigures and more accurate molds.
Interesting Facts
Despite his brief screen time, Ten Numb is legendary in LEGO history as one of the earliest identified alien pilots to ever receive a minifigure (originally in 2006).
Display Suggestions
Best displayed inside or standing alongside a LEGO B-Wing starfighter. Looks excellent when grouped with other Sullustans or rebel leaders like Admiral Ackbar.
Modification Potential
The head is a unique mold/print for Sullustans and can be used for custom MOCs of Sullustan civilians or soldiers.
Overall Assessment
A fantastic, highly screen-accurate representation of an iconic Star Wars background character. Rated 8/10 for design and accuracy.
