Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars Collector's Pack Limited Edition (Yoda)

Wisdom. Power. An unreasonable amount of stuffing. The Lego Star Wars III: The Clone Wars Collector's Pack Limited Edition (Yoda) for DS pairs one of the better handheld Lego games with an exclusive Yoda plush that radiates pure shelf charm. If the Darth Vader variant is the dark side of this release, this is its calmer, greener counterpart.

The DS game delivers the same Clone Wars campaign with its trademark Lego slapstick and brick-building puzzles. It's a solid portable entry that holds its own against the console versions. But the Yoda plush is the reason this pack exists in collector circles. Rendered in that chunky Lego style with his signature green hue and wise expression, he's the kind of pack-in that makes you smile every time you spot him on a shelf.

What makes this variant worth tracking down is the simple math of survival. These were aimed squarely at kids, and plush toys in the hands of kids tend to get well-loved, which is collector speak for "worn out." A complete set with the Yoda plush in clean condition has become genuinely difficult to source. Pair it with the Darth Vader variant and you've got a display duo that represents one of the more charming retail experiments in DS-era collector packaging.
