Hello there,

I bought this minifig last weekend on a local market with some other Star Wars
minifigs. I really can´t find this figure in the Bricklink list.

Does someone know if this is an original Star Wars minifig and what number it
may be?

Thanks in advance
Holger

Looks like you have a mixed up minifig...
 
Minifig No: sw0291  Name: Hoth Rebel Trooper (Black Chin Dimple)

sw0291 (Inv) Hoth Rebel Trooper (Black Chin Dimple)
Minifigures: Star Wars: Star Wars Episode 4/5/6
with wrong legs and head.
Hard to tell from the photo but the head (if it's dual sided) could be

Thanks for your answer. The torso is the biggest riddle as the right arm is white.
I can´t believe the seller also combined the torso with different arms.
The minifig looks so well designed, I can´t give up the idea that it may be original
designed by LEGO.

Arms are easily taken off and replaced. The torso probably had a broken arm and
the seller replaced it to make it look newer but didn't have the right colour.
Complete figures often sell better than individual parts at flea markets so sellers
often put together random parts to get a sale.

Hope you didn't pay over the odds for it thinking it was something rare.
I've found the market stall sellers know the word "LEGO" = $$$ but nothing
usually about individual cost. So half a KG bunch of common yellow bricks and
a city figure can be sold for $25.

Warning to all, watch out for non-Lego versed traders, they're as bad as
those who buy off bricklink and resell 4 common pieces per listing on Ebay for
$5.

There is a big difference here, if you mean fake minifigs are sold by the non-Lego
traders. If someone pays over tge odds for parts on ebay, that is on them. The
seller is not doing anything wrong. Not that there is much money in selling something
for £5 on ebay if that includes postage after you pay postage, packaging costs
and ebay fees.
