Minifigures - general discussion

[Aup27]

A change like this and the direction Hasbro is going with plastic free packaging, will be interesting in how they play out in the number of sales. Could see more collectors skipping these completely if they cant easily identify the figures they want.

As bad as I am at smooshing, its already frustrating to get 3-4 of the same character while spending over $20. I can at least blame myself for that failure though.

Time for the powers of the internet to publish a weight table for each minifig, so we can take our milligram scales and our 16-pocket sorters to the store ….

I'll just have my wife sew this over the door organizer into the inside of a trench coat!

First image of series 23 minifig was leaked.  Lets just say @TheOrcKing is going to be pleased with it...

No idea where else to share this from reddit. I've tried and it works great so far. I'd been using Google Lens for this with a lot of success recently, but this is way better and more focused.

I downloaded and tried it out. I love it, thanks for posting this!

I want to say this is lame compared to the old exclusive minifigures they used to offer. More people might be able to walk away with something, but the line and experience could be madness.

Me too. I still keep in in my phone case. Sometimes I'll 'accidently' drop it out in front of folks to see what the reaction is. 

[Tonka858]

the crowds are just insane this year, With most panels being cancelled, It takes 20 mins to walk from one end to the other.

Anyone at SDCC this year have one of those Hasbro Pulse codes to spare? Would love to get that GI JOE fig from the event store.

[scatttcat]

So SDCC is over. I walked away with about 9 of those minifigure torsos, the time reservation system they had was a nightmare on the exhibit floor. It was a webpage that barely loaded and errored out constantly due to high traffic.

Lego also gave out pins, 3 pins total. Thursday was Star Wars speeder, Friday was Sonic and Saturday was Captain America.

There was also a harder to get Brickbuster logo pin, but it was only available if you brought in your old blockbuster membership card to show them.

And last but not least, they hid old blockbuster style movie rental cases all around downtown (in bushes, near restaurants, etc.) If you found one you got a huge prize pack - all four pins, a Lego masters build, a Lego masters keychain, and you got to keep the blockbuster case. I didn’t find any of those, but it was kinda fun to search.

I could see Lego moving forward with pins in the future over exclusive blister pack minifigures. Easier to produce and easier to give out to the masses, and Lego fans were still insane about getting these. Multiple mob crowds

Appreciate the offer but i was finally able to nab one late yesterday. Got my Chuckles order in!

[Thanos75]

This was spotted at a Walmart today by a friend.

[Thanos75]

This series looks great. The goat and that Knight will be super popular. Expect to find many open boxes .

[Phil B]

@MinifiguresPlus - When can we expect the pre-order?

First series where I will order several boxes. Need me some goats and alpacas (assuming that's what that animal bottom right is). And trains!

[MrToes16]

In it for the mushroom caps. Guy with the goat looks like he would agree.

Looks like an afghan (dog).  Which i believe is entirely new mold.

[Mathew]

Wonder if that’s a new goat mold. I bet we see a couple more in next years Medieval Town Square set.
