Episode V: The Empire Strikes Back · 2003 (Released in the Cloud City set #10123)
Figure ID
sw0107
Theme
Star Wars
Year Released
2003 (Released in the Cloud City set #10123)
Rarity
Ultra-Rare. This is widely considered the 'Holy Grail' of Star Wars minifigures due to the limited production run of the Cloud City set and the fact that it was the first Star Wars figure to feature arm and leg printing.
Head
Classic LEGO yellow head with black stud connector. The helmet is Sand Green with detailed red, black, and silver battle-damage printing and a movable rangefinder.
Torso
Light Gray torso with Sand Green Mandalorian armor plates, braille-like texture and brown utility belt printing. Uniquely features Sand Green arms with printed shoulder pauldrons (yellow/brown emblems).
Legs
Light Gray legs with hip and toe printing. Features unique side-printing on the legs depicting armor plating and utility pockets, a revolutionary feature for 2003.
Accessories
Standard Boba Fett accessories include a dark gray blaster (rifle), a dark gray jetpack, and a unique green cloth cape (waist-cloth).
Color Scheme
Light Gray, Sand Green, and Dark Brown with accents of yellow and silver battle-scuffing.
Printing Details
Highly advanced for its time. Features pad printing on the front and back of the torso, both arms (pauldrons), the front of the legs, and the sides of the legs.
Variants
This is the 'sw0107' Cloud City variant. It differs from 'sw0002' (plain arms/legs) and modern versions (flesh heads, redesigned molds) by its specific arm/leg print combination and yellow head.
Condition Notes
Prone to arm cracks and torso stress marks. The leg printing is susceptible to 'toe-wear' if played with. The cloth cape should be checked for fraying.
Estimated Value
$2,000 - $3,500 USD (Used/Complete); up to $5,000+ for pristine/mint condition. Prices fluctuate based on the specific market demand for high-end collectibles.
Price (New)
Originally released in set #10123 (Cloud City), which retailed for $99.99 USD in 2003.

Character Background
The most famous bounty hunter in the galaxy, known for capturing Han Solo. This version depicts his classic look from The Empire Strikes Back.
Design Notes
A landmark in LEGO history. This figure proved that LEGO could execute high-detail printing on small surfaces like arms and leg-sides, paving the way for modern CMF standards.
Similar Minifigures
Lando Calrissian (sw0105), Luke Skywalker (sw0103), and Boba Fett (sw0002). The UCS Slave I Boba Fett (sw0610) is a modern hyper-detailed spiritual successor.
Collectibility
Extremely High. It is the centerpiece of most high-end Star Wars collections and has historically shown a massive appreciation in value.
History
Launched during a period when LEGO was experimenting with specialized sets. Cloud City was a poor seller initially, leading to low production and subsequent legendary rarity.
Interesting Facts
For over a decade, this was the only Star Wars figure with arm printing. Many collectors mistake the common version (sw0002) for this one until they check the arms.
Display Suggestions
Should be kept in a UV-protected acrylic case. It is best displayed alongside the other exclusive Cloud City figures (Lando and Boba Fett) on a clean white or light gray base.
Modification Potential
None recommended. Any modification or replacing parts with non-original 'sw0107' components will delete almost all its financial and historical value.
Overall Assessment
The definitive collector's piece. A 10/10 in terms of historical significance and desirability. If legitimate, it is the crown jewel of any collection.
