Insights

Released as a Japan-only Creator Designer promotional and now retired, Melon (7278) carries regional scarcity from its beverage tie-in and absence of remakes, and its very small, non-minifig build limits mainstream demand and can make trading volumes and price swings more volatile.

Set Facts

This promotional set was released in Japan and was included with a Suntory beverage.
It is a co-branded set with Suntory.
