exciter1 Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 Just curious, do any of you frequent the LEGO Store Build-A-Minifigure bar to hunt rare pieces to populate your Bricklink stores? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
micbelt Posted May 21, 2015 Share Posted May 21, 2015 I checked this past weekend and the 1 rare piece i noticed was this:http://www.bricklink.com/catalogItem.asp?P=3678bpb052I was tempted to buy it because I got a bulk lot of minifigures that had only the vampire brides glow in the dark head, so i still would need the body and her hair. I think last month they had the seagull form the series 10 captain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

exciter1 Posted May 22, 2015 Author Share Posted May 22, 2015 I think some folks are finding seagulls and the little mail tiles recently. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randrace Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Reviving this old thread, as finding gems at my local LS is my latest obsession. Some recent finds of mine have been: Surgeon Head Trendsetter Head Sea Captain Cap Gamer Guy Torso Thespian Torso Sea Captain Torso Snake Charmer's Cobra White Ruffle Punk Rocker Torso Clown Horn DJ Legs I'm learning a ton about minifigure part values from combing through the bins. Many times I've left the store only to find out after cruising BL, I left the real gold behind. I'm still clueless about the what I think are Ninjago heads that I keep seeing and passing on. There's a lot of scowling scraggly sideburned heads at my local store. I took this picture today. Any one know what the three heads on the right are? I figured out the left two are the Artist and Snake Charmer. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kenxxx Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 (edited) @randraceI know less about minifigs than you do, but just scanning the database... #3 looks like Lion King (70404) #4 looks like Pharoah #5 appears to be Evil Dwarf Thanks for the fun "search-n-find" game this morning! Did I get them right? Edited April 23, 2017 by Kenxxx 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DadsAFOL Posted April 23, 2017 Share Posted April 23, 2017 Someone created a pretty nifty search tool for finding heads / torsos / legs based on descriptive characteristics. If you are ever at a loss for identifying a figure part, check out this site. The figure searches are in the center of the page. http://goatleg.com 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

randrace Posted August 5, 2017 Share Posted August 5, 2017 Slow news day. Besides the Grampa Hair, no high ticket items on my most recent trip. Worth noting is the Series 3 Samurai torsos. Do you guys think TLG is producing new pieces from these retired figs? Or, are these leftovers from the original run? If the former, it changes my perspective on the rarity of any CMF fig.I know that Bee Girl's head was reissued as 'stud recessed' as evidenced on Bricklink. Stuff to think about for CMF collectors.

Pseudoty Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 Bump? I have never done the BAM, but on 4/1 they will have Lion Knight Shields, Torso and Legs from 10305. Can you just go there when they open and buy unlimited or is it a 3 pack only? Any information would be appreciated. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rastascoob Posted March 21, 2023 Share Posted March 21, 2023 I doubt they would let you buy them out but they wouldn't say much buying 10 3 packs or something. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Captain_Obvious Posted April 6, 2023 Share Posted April 6, 2023 Followed up with all my stores yesterday, and still no new BAMs. My stores won’t be getting a shipment tomorrow due to Good Friday. Two of my stores said it still wasn’t confirmed, but my third said it was, and I can expect them on next Wednesday’s shipment. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The legs appears to be a different print from the ones in 10305, would have been nice to be able to grab the torso, legs (if right print) and shield at bam pricing.
