LEGO Collectible Minifigures - The LEGO Movie Series

The new Collectible Minifigure Series has been released and it is purely focused on characters from the new The Lego Movie.  Once again it is a mix of 16 different minifigs all in random blind bags.  Most stores are selling them for $2.99 USD each, but Im sure Toys R Us marks them up a bit. Ive got a few of them so far and so far my favorites are Abraham Lincoln, Shakespeare, the Panda and the Barista.  Who is your favorite?

Here is what lego has to say:

LEGO Minifigures Character Encyclopedia Quick Review

We received out copy of the new LEGO Minifigures Character Encyclopedia today in the mail from Amazon.  The book was just released by DK who makes all of the other official LEGO books.  Its a medium sized hardcover with a retail price of $18.99 USD.  I personally ordered my copy through Amazon Prime and it was only $12.45 which was a pretty good deal.  

The book has a nice thick hard cover and includes the 162nd Collectable Minifigure built right into it.  The Toy Soldier can only be acquired through this book which isn't a big deal for me.  I generally like collecting these books and they are nice to check out once in a while.

The inner pages have a lot of fun info.  They list things like "Mini Facts" and "Did You Know?" in little bubbles.  The thing I like most about the book are the great, colorful pictures, they really pop out at you and you can see all of the great details of the minifigs.

All in all, its a must have if you love LEGO and these great Collectable Minifigures.  You can follow this link for a great deal from Amazon, at $12.45 USD, you cant lose.

Mr. Gold - Collectible Minifigures Series 10

The first Mr. Gold Minifigures have been popping up here in the US.  This little guy will probably be one of the most sought after Minifigures ever.  Every Mr. Gold Minifigure comes in a clear bag inside the normal foil bag and includes a small sheet which is individually numbered out of 5000.  This is what LEGO has to say about him:

"Rumor has it that somewhere out there is a very special Minifigure known as Mr. Gold. Shining and golden from the top of his tall top hat to the tips of his toes, he may be discovered in all sorts of unexpected places, but he never seems to turn up exactly when and where you’re looking for him.

According to legend, Mr. Gold will bring you luck if you happen to spot him…or is it that you’ll need to have a lot of luck to find him? Either way, everybody wants to find the mysterious Golden Minifigure – but only a fortunate few will succeed!"
