LEGO 40796: Revenge of the Sith Heroes & Villains
A 20th Anniversary Surprise
To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Revenge of the Sith, LEGO dropped a surprise exclusive: Set 40796 – Heroes & Villains. Available only on LEGO.com, this Star Wars BrickHeadz pack is already turning heads — and it won’t be around for long.
What You Get
- 656 pieces
- Five characters: Anakin (with Sith eyes), Padmé, General Grievous, Palpatine, and Mace Windu
- Display size: about 3 inches each
They’re small, but packed with detail — from Grievous’ four arms to Palpatine’s lightning bolts.
Why Fans Want It

- Exclusive release – you won’t find it at Target or Amazon.
- Short run – LEGO already announced it retires in 2025.
- No discounts – held full retail price since launch.
- Standout designs – General Grievous might be one of the coolest BrickHeadz yet.
The Smart Buy Angle
Right now, LEGO is throwing in a SEGA Controller GWP (Gift With Purchase) when you buy. That bonus alone is reselling for around $50. It basically makes the set feel like a bargain — and gives collectors a reason to double up.
And even if you miss out on this exact promo, LEGO.com regularly runs special offers — double reward points, other free gifts, and bundles — that help bring down the overall cost. For savvy buyers, that makes 40796 even more appealing.
Final Thoughts
LEGO 40796 isn’t just another BrickHeadz pack — it’s a 20th anniversary celebration piece with a very short shelf life.
By being only offered at LEGO.com, never discounted, retiring in under a year, and including five extremely popular characters, this set checks all the boxes for collectibility. It has a high likelihood of skyrocketing in value after retirement, which is why it’s firmly on my personal buy list.
Grab it while you can — once it’s gone, it won’t be coming back.
