c_rpg Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 Just saw this on the German Toys R Us website. PICTURE REDACTED Every week there will be a new set of four limited edition minifigures. The price is 14.99€ per set. What do you guys think about these? It seems nice to collect if you're in to minifigures, but the price for the previous minifigure collections has not increased that much and there were 5 figures in those instead of 4 (see 5002146, 5002147 and 5002148). This week is the first set of four music related minifigures. PICTURES REDACTED 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Elkkthunder Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 any chance these could be our Bricktober promos? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 2013 minifigure collections were bricktober promo's. So no mini modulars this year. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dcdfan Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I'll need a set of these for myself. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian Briggs Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 These are neat but the price is too high, especially compared to minifigures from the CMF series (2.99€ each) or from licensed themes. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, they should have been 10€. Maybe the other sets will be worth it, but these figures seem kinda dull for 14.99€. No accessories except the one microphone either. Price is purely based on the fact that they are limited edition I guess. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 There are pictures of all 4 sets up on Reddit. Color me unimpressed. They look like someone threw a bunch of minifigure parts into a bucket and picked these out. I'm pulling down the pic in the first post for now, since we don't have an official word on these yet.

zskid00 Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 (edited) I can't believe the last figure in that cops and robbers sets. His orange pants don't look orange enough in those pictures. It looks like the return of the "no pants" guy from the LEGO Movie. Edited August 29, 2016 by zskid00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
siddji Posted August 29, 2016 Share Posted August 29, 2016 I would rather do "Build a Mini-figure" x 3 for $9.99 at the Lego store. Horrible sets in my humble opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

c_rpg Posted August 29, 2016 Author Share Posted August 29, 2016 Sooo why exactly where the pictures of the first set taken down? I get that they are not yet released in the US, but they are available for sale right now in Germany. As it's a Toys R Us exclusive it seems to me that the pics are clean as soon as Toys R Us puts the set up for sale. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sure you can pay $1 more to get 4 latest minifigures from series 16,17, Disney, or mix and match. But who cares about math 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They want to encourage you to buy something else so they can give you these, so they jack up the price. If you buy them at the inflated price, cool. If you spend $XX to get them, cool. It makes sense for TRU. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
