Insights

A magazine foil-pack promotional, issued in 2024, the Emperor Palpatine (912402) drew baseline collector interest from the Star Wars name, and its wide magazine distribution plus close alignment with existing minifigure variants limits exclusivity and longer-term upside.

BrickEconomy Member Review

“The issue of LEGO Star Wars magazine comes with an Emperor Palpatine minifigure from the Emperor's Throne Room diorama, featuring detailed printing, a spongy cape, double-sided face, and lightning accessories. The magazine also includes two comics, puzzles, a double-sided poster, and a preview of next month's Coruscant Guard minifigure. With the paper bag alone often valued higher than the magazine price, this issue offers excellent value for collectors.”
