Toys R Us - Weekly Minifigures Collection

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.

If these were promotional giveaways as the former, I could be considerably less critical. However I would agree these unfortunately feel uninspired to borderline "Frankesteined". While I will note there is some usage of various torsos, faces, and leggings from the Minifigures line, the overall compositions are seeming generic juxtapositions. Truth be told though the original Bricktober offerings all were simple 'classic' designs from years long past then again those were cohesive characters at the least.

So apparently the first set is already sold out! If you want these, get em while you can I would say. Next set is coming out on 8/09.

Canadians use day/month/year too. ;) (or at least they're supposed to)

So, the first week is "musicians" but the only accessory is one microphone? What the hell! [emoji35]

After 19 years living in Europe and now 18 years in US, I'm a one big mess when it comes to writing dates lol

These musicians are clearly DJs/button pushers.

I'm thinking a vocal band. (a-capella)

Bricktober is USA

Is there a copy of that full calendar page somewhere?

Of note - Big Ben will be sold at TRU on Oct 1.

most of the minifigs are lackluster.  3 appeal to my 7 yr old son and the 4 year old likes about 1/2 of them

So for Bricktober the leftovers are typically sold off at the end of the week. What do you think the price will be? 15$?

Maybe a title change is in order: Toys R Us - Weekly Minifigures Collection / Bricktober?

Who doesn't like free? :beerhat:

(read the fine print)

The family and I really liked the mini modular sets =( 

Second set is now available at Toysrus.de. The limit has been changed from 5 to 2 for the second set. Presumably because the first set was sold out so quickly.

Prices on ebay are insane. I just looked at the prices for the first set, and the going rate seems to be 35€ shipped (about 2.5x RRP). :blink:

Yup. Glad I got 5. Second set was limit 2, but still sold out in a matter of hours. I expect the next set will be limit 1.

Any word if these will be coming to UK?

If last year's bricktober were any indication, these sets of miniatures will be around for some time (at least in Canada imo) and they will likely offer the complete set with purchase months down the road to clear up soon at a fraction of the original buy in.

Germany seems to have very little stock and high demand. Maybe it's also because lots of people from outside Germany are buying at toysrus.de.

I'm guessing that current inflated prices will collapse once these are released in the US and Canada. I'm looking to sell all my stuff before October. Anyway, it's silly to wait for possible "what if scenarios" if you can get 2x your buy-in right now.

Damnit. I just noticed this:
