And here comes my third package from Brickheads Toy Company!

November's Brickheads Toy Co. Star Wars polybag subscription brought a really fun trio: the limited-edition Slave I, a Praetorian Guard minifigure, and the limited-edition TIE Whisper. It’s a small bundle, but honestly? It’s one of those cases where the tiny format feels surprisingly premium.

1. Limited Edition Slave I (Mini Build)

This one immediately stands out. The shaping is shockingly good for a polybag—nice curve work, clean colors, and it actually looks like Slave I instead of a blob with wings (which happens a lot with micro-scale ships). It’s the kind of mini build that works perfectly as a desk display, and because it’s EU-exclusive, it quietly feels way more collectible than it has any right to be.

2. Praetorian Guard Minifigure

A full minifig is always a win in any polybag, but a Praetorian Guard feels extra nice. The prints are crisp, the molded helmet looks great even today, and army builders especially know how valuable this is. Getting a character-focused polybag in the mix balances out the two ships nicely.

3. Limited Edition TIE Whisper (Mini Build)

A newer canon ship in micro-scale form? Love it. The silhouette is instantly recognizable, and the black-and-red palette pops far more than expected at this tiny size. This one feels like the sleeper hit of the trio, simple, but striking.

So… Are EU Polybags Worth It?

Honestly? If you’re a collector, absolutely. These polybags hit a sweet spot:

  • Exclusive availability (making them feel special).
  • Great variety (ship, ship, minifig—nice balance).
  • Displayable without needing shelf space.
  • Surprising build quality for something that comes in a tiny sealed bag.

Even if you’re not a hardcore polybag collector, the EU-exclusive bundles often deliver a stronger value than US-available polybags because they tend to include deeper-cut ships and better character choices. And for a subscription service, this trio feels like money well spent—small items that genuinely spark joy.
