Brick Cucumber Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 When the Overwatch wave first launched, a bunch of Lego influencers were sent a promo box featuring a exclusive Tracer Figure (Idk if it counts fully seeing as it's only the acessories from the figure) and the D.va & Reinheardt 75973 set. The Tracer figure had two exclusive versions of the new gun piece in gold. It even came in a little box with a bag inside and instructions on the back. I've looked around, but I can't find the box or figure listed on Brickset or Bricklink and Bricklink doesn't even list the part in that colour. Anyone got any information on this promo? How many of this figure were produced? Quote
PenPlays Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 There is no disclosed information as to how many were produced of the minifig. Only influencers got the minifig, and too few even bother with Bricklink, let alone play with LEGO, hence why the part isn't listed. Quote

Most Lego Youtuber's got the box as a promotion. I would suspect either they or their audience would have at least listed the part on Bricklink. Quote
DuckBricks Posted July 1, 2019 Posted July 1, 2019 I was also curious about this -- wasn't sure if it was just the lighting, but the guns and apollo studs seemed a different shade of gold than normal. Weird how it isn't on Bricklink yet... Quote

Weird how it isn't on Bricklink yet... Maybe it's the new foil gold from the Apollo 11 set. It looks like a pretty good fit. Edited July 1, 2019 by Brick Cucumber Quote

The larger ones, definitely, but a lot went out to Overwatch influencers primarily. 21 hours ago, legozebra said: I was also curious about this -- wasn't sure if it was just the lighting, but the guns and apollo studs seemed a different shade of gold than normal.

It's drum lacquered gold like the Lunar Lander, yes. Quote
Brick Cucumber Posted July 3, 2019 Author Posted July 3, 2019 I might try getting in contact with Lego customer support (or whichever division of their advertisement that did this promotion) to find out exactly how many were made. Mostly because I recently scored a genuine one from an eBay auction which was given out as a giveaway. I'll also try to update Bricklink or Brickset with the parts if I can find out how many were made. Really chuffed with this find though. Thank you all for your help, I'll update if I do get some more info. Quote

Mostly for influencers to share it and promote the sets to their audience and raise more awareness for it. Quote

There must be some irony here somewhere for them to get an exclusive set to raise awareness about...a game? Upcoming sets? Yet here we are not knowing about it, needing to get info from someone other than them. Haha Quote
Brick Cucumber Posted July 24, 2019 Author Posted July 24, 2019 Looks like we have an answer thanks to the new Overwatch Lego Ideas contest. A total of 250 Tracer promotional figures were made. So only 500 of that piece in drum-lacquered gold exist. Good to know. Quote
o0ger Posted February 18, 2021 Posted February 18, 2021 Still not listed on Bricklink. It doesn't really have a set number printed on it. I'm thinking about adding it to Bricklink but I have no idea how to do it. Anyone knows? Quote

When you log in to Bricklink, at the top of the page on the menu with "price guide", "colour guide", etc. there's a button called "add or change". From there you can select the option to add a set. Beyond that, I don't know - never had a set to add myself, so I've never run through the process - but it'll probably walk you through it. Quote

Thanks @Alexandrina, I think I managed to figure it out: https://www.bricklink.com/v2/catalog/catalogitem.page?S=owtracer-1&name=Promotional Tracer Figure&category=[Overwatch]#T=S&O={"iconly":0} Quote
