Comments:
After Han Solo is captured by the Empire and put into carbon freeze, Boba Fett delivers his prize to Jabba the Hutt. Trapped, but in perfect hibernation, Solo is freed from carbonite by Princess Leia. Jabba, however, has other plans for Solo and orders that he and his friends be executed in the Pit of Carkoon. After a harrowing battle and a close call with the almighty Sarlacc, Solo and friends escape and set their sights on taking down the Empire.

The force pike has been found with six different numbers 1-6 embossed onto it. These are the are cavity numbers used when creating the mold. The pikes are cast in a 6 cavity mold (possibly more), and then separated for individual packaging.
