Lego Minifigures Series 10 Review


Roman general & foot soldier.. tracking down medusa.


Medusa is a highly sought after figure. She should have come with a bow, i should include a quiver too! Awesome!


It is getting more expensive to collect these minifigures... for a box of 60 figures, there are only 2 for each for the above 6. Only able to produce 2 complete set. No wonder it is almost impossible to buy the figures from lego retail outlet.


Captain and the seagull....


Purchased around 9 figures from retail this time, as it is no longer worth the effort. It is recommended to buy online where it is cheaper.


 the warriors in this series


the common figures you are lightly to get in retail...

Again we will be having more minifigure series this year.. I presume there will be at least 2 more series coming up. Please post your comments on this post, stories on your hunt for this series.

Lego Minifigures Series 8 Pictures Update


Soon after getting hold of the MF S7 set just a few weeks ago, we are going to see another release this September (in 2 months time). In my opinion, that was really fast, with the continuous release of new figures (about 3 series in a year), the excitement kind of reduces.. what do you think?

Looking at the new figures, there isn't anything really attractive. What caught my attention is the Alien figure.

Ancient Thespis with a Skull
Boy in Bavarian costume with a pretzel
Conquistador with a rapier
Cowgirl with a brown lasso
Diver with a harpoon (earlier diver in Series 1)
DJ with a disc and a disc case
Enemy Robot with a laser gun (there will be a robot in every series? Space theme character)
Evil Female Alien with laser gun
Fairy with wings and a wand
Football Player with gold trophy
Pirate Captain with gold cutlass and hook
Red Cheerleader with red pom poms (go with the white cheerleader in Series 1)
Santa Claus with sack
Skier with skis (too many skier...)
Trader with newspaper and suitcase (he can go with the gangster)
Vampire with bat wings

Here are more pictures on the MF Series 7. Thank you for visiting the blog again.


A pair of Scottish Bagpipe player (thanks to a friend for helping me to get this)




Of the 5 female characters in this series, these 2 ladies are my favourite. The female viking's headdress is a unique piece.



Rockers unite! Series 4 rocker finally got his partner.


Reminds me of Halo.. possible to build an army of sci-fi warrior


Tarzan (Jungle Boy) 


Female viking with the earlier series 4 viking 


Little Red Riding Hood, it is hard to hold the basket. Top picture is lego release ...below is what i prefer (with flowers and apple)

Lego Minifigures Series 6 HUNT

From Toys "R" Us
Price: SGD 4.90 each
purchased a total of 21 packs, some of them are for my sis & a friend

Didn't intend to collect the full set this time round, at $4.90 each. It will cost around $80 for the full 16 figures, about 20% price increase from the usual $3.90. Series 5 was at S$4.50 each.

I requested for another box of minifigures from the staff, after the box in the store was kind of raid of the nice figures, there are 3 buyers before me, they had selected most of the "hot" figures away. The 1st guy got around 10 plus figures, the second guy around 15 figures, there was a girl buying a few. And i'm probably the 4th person inside the store to select from this box, after lunch time.

There are no codes on the pack, to get the figures you want, just touch & feel.

ROMAN SOLDIER, HIGHLAND BATTLER, MINOTAUR, BANDIT, CLASSIC ALIEN, GENIE, LEPRECHAUN, INTERGALACTIC GIRL, BUTCHER, MECHANIC, SKATER GIRL, SURGEON, SLEEPYHEAD, CLOCKWORK ROBOT, LADY LIBERTY and FLAMENCO DANCER.

The figures in red are the must have figures for me this time round... in blue are the "still alright" figures to collect. For the remaining... not too keen.

More pictures coming up in the next, once they are send for a photo taking session!!

Display Case for Lego Minifigures

Bought the plastic display case from Daiso (the Japanese store) at SGD2. Made in Japan the dimension is approx. 19.8cm (L), 5.8Cm (W) and 6.8cm (H). This display case is nice & cheap.

14 figures without the stand

853340 Lego Wedding Bride Groom Minifigures with Table Decoration Review

Update: Received a call today 30th Sept, the lego wedding set is now temporary removed from the Singapore market by lego. Reason: there are some defects in this set. I had opened this set and i wonder what's the problem.

A review of the Lego Wedding Set, 853340. Total of 24 pieces. It was available in Singapore for a short 2 days in a shop, and was sold out. I presume this set will be widely avaliable in store shortly.

Was checking the price on US ebay, this morning a set was sold for USD31 (exclude postage). The average price was around USD25-28. So there are buyers who are willing to pay around USD30 (excluding shipping fees)!

lego using 3M now. i guess this is the first set to incorporate 3M.


2 additional hair for the bride

the body torso for the groom is similiar to that of the minifigure series 1 magician

Overall this set will probably appeal to female fans. Who knows, these figures might just appear on the wedding cake of an AFOL couple soon, i'm sure there will be pictures of them on the net.

Lego Gangster

Bought another gangster, the gladiator's head looks better on the figure. The gangster has a new weapon, the tommy gun.

tommy gun with removal drum magazine
by the way the gun can't get into the volin case

this new weapon adds firepower to gun fights

Lego Minifigures Collectible Series 6 update

I had viewed the confidential pictures of the mf series 6. In the earlier post, there are 10 pictures. Here are the remaining 6 figures in blue (not posting any pictures as it is not right to do so at the moment). The series will be released in 2012.

Minfigures Series 6

* Alien with ray gun.
* Butcher with a steak and cleaver.
* Genie with a magic lamp.
* Highlander with a shield and sword.
* Leprechaun with a pot of gold.
* Mechanic with a wrench and toolbox.
* Minotaur with an axe.
* Skater Girl with a skateboard.
* Space Woman with a ray gun.
* Statue of Liberty with a torch and book.
* Roman with rectangluar Shield (this will be the hotest figure)
* Bandit black hat with a hankerchief covering his face
* Female Surgeon with needle and x-ray like the graduate scroll
* Hawaii Woman (spanish dancer in pink with fan, it is not a hawaii woman)
* Small Child with teddy bear, the kid is wearing pjamas
* Robot sliver in color with a square head

Lego Minifigures Series 5, Collect 'em ALL! (Breakdown Info)

thanks to a friend, i got the 16 minifigures!

this is one of the best series, many are instant favourite


will post more series 5 minifigures pictures in the next post

The breakdown for a box of 60 figures
  • Ancient Egyptian Woman 3
  • Boxer 5
  • Cavewoman 4
  • Fitness Dancer 4
  • Detective 4
  • Dinosaur Suit Man 5
  • Dwarf 3
  • Eskimo 3
  • Gangster 3
  • Grenadier Guard 5
  • Lumberjack 3
  • Male Snowboarder 3
  • Murmillo 3
  • Small Clown 4
  • University Graduate 3
  • Zookeeper 5
This time round, the minifigures breakdown is quite good in my opinion. There are at less 3 sets per box. Unlike the earlier series where we only got 2 elf and 2 spartan in a box of 60 minifigures. There are 5 grenadier guard & dinosaur suit man (which are popular figures) from the box (most likely other boxes will be having the same breakdown). Lego should continue give a good breakdown like series 5. We are aware of the earlier frustration of being unable to get the spartan and elf from retail (but i think i managed to do so when there was a new box)

Hope you guys got the minifigures you want. Post your comments below.

How do you keep your minifigures?

received the minifigures & lego parts yesterday, this seller sealed all the parts and figures in bags, looks mint to me


Do you display the minifigures on a lego plate or keep them in zip bags? I have both, to save space, the best way is to have them in zip bags.

welcome comments below.
