jobiwonkinosi Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Just a question for anyone out there who owns the Greedo MF, is he worth spending about $30 on Bricklink? I know he is rare and stuff, but is he so amazingly cool to be so amazingly expensive?
Legoman31 Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I dont have him, but I would suggest waiting for set 8036 Separatist Shuttle and try painting the rodian senator.

ADHO15 Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I dont have him, but I would suggest waiting for set 8036 Separatist Shuttle and try painting the rodian senator. I agree. You get the Rodian head in the new Separatist Shuttle and Greedo is only a minor character with no real importance to the story.
-JD- Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I got the whole set for £15 , so I would say no. I agree with Legoman31, just get two shuttles and paint one of the Ocanada Farr or whoever he is. JD
General Magma Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I don't have him myself, but no, it is not worth it for just one minifig while you can get the shuttle for around the same price. Go for two shuttles and paint one of the guys.
The Who Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I had two, but traded the one with cracked sides. I think that overall, in good condition, he is totally worth the money. Greedo is one of my favorite old Star Wars figs, so I completely recommend buying him.
Deemo Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I would check ebay and you might be able to grab one for 20.00 I certainly think its worth the money.
kill will Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 Greedo is my favorite minifig of all time. I don't know why, but he is. So in my opinion, he definately is worth the money.
Legoman Posted February 14, 2009 Posted February 14, 2009 I would say no. Sure, he's awsome, but no figure is worth $30US. (I go crazy when i see the price of a printed boba.) I managed to pick up the set of Ebay for $35, and i'm ahappy with it. But ONE figure for $30... You could get 3 battlepacks (12 Figs + extras) for the same price... Unless your a MF collector... Then it's understandable (but still insane ) Just my opinion...
ILikePi Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Yeah, I would say no. If you look far away, Greedo and the Rodian senator in the Separatist's Shuttle look pretty similar.
Shadows Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 If you don't deliver $3 million Republic Credits in small unmarked bills to the trash can located outside Chalmun's Cantina by 5pm today, the Rodian is history.
Darth_Legois Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I got the cantina set with him...im still kicking myself for losing him ...I dont think he's worth it IMO....
hollisbrick Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 I got the cantina set with him...im still kicking myself for losing him ...I dont think he's worth it IMO.... You lost him? Don't worry, you both can get the head in the up comming shuttle. (Btw is that a good guy or bad guy ship?) Personelly I would just get the whole cantina set if you can!!! A great set Very cheap back in the day! I reckon TLG should release more CHEAP playset sets

I Scream Clone Posted February 15, 2009 Posted February 15, 2009 Heres your answer right here! The new Greedo/whatever his name is This will do me nicely.
kill will Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 Thanks for the close up pic, ISC! But I don't like how big his eyes are, and the lack of other detail on the face.
TLV Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 the two greedo seem similar apart from the difference in face paint. So I'd say the cantina one isn't that worth it now. Star wars minifigs in general are very pricey, and non-human characters seem to fetch even higher prices.
jobiwonkinosi Posted February 16, 2009 Author Posted February 16, 2009 Wow! Cool! What a lot of responses! Thanks a lot everyone, though I'm still undecided wheter to get him or not. He kinda is a bit of history so to speak and does look a bit better than the new one. We'll see, all depends on my bank balance eventually i suppose. Special thanks to green dewback and I Scream Clone for the pictures! Also, anyone reckon Jango Fett is worth it? Now there's a question?
Bob Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I looked to buying Jango Fett, but he is very, very expensive! I heard somewhere that there's going to be a Jango Fett pen. If this is true, i'd just wait for that.
JCC1004 Posted February 16, 2009 Posted February 16, 2009 I looked to buying Jango Fett, but he is very, very expensive!I heard somewhere that there's going to be a Jango Fett pen. If this is true, i'd just wait for that. Don't get the Jango pen. I got the Maul and they suck. The head doesn't work w/ regular pieces, torso is completly hallow, hands fall off, the helmet has a stud on top, and the legs are a solid piece. Ask someone else for pics. I cannot supply them.
Steel Dragon Posted January 2, 2010 Posted January 2, 2010 I have the Jango pen, and I agree that it's terrible. As for Greedo, I have him together right now and he is very nice, but I don't think I would pay $30 for JUST the fig. On the other hand, I think having an official Greedo would be better than modding the Senator from the shuttle.
Strand Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 Missed out on Greedo first time, so bought 2 Egg ships to make up for it. Yes, it's not identical, yes the blue eyes are a bit lame. But sharpie = Greedo.
Mr Meleca Posted January 4, 2010 Posted January 4, 2010 I have one... one of the best Star Wars minifigures ( and I have more than 250)
