Lego Minifigures Series 12 & Series 13 Review Pictures

Just seems like yesterday, in the year 2010 when i bought my first Lego Minifigures Series 1, at a retail price of $3.90 each. After 5 years we now have Lego Minifigures Series 13.

Lego Minfigures Series 1 (S$3.90 each in 2010). Now in the year 2015,

it cost S$380-S$400 a set (Jan 2015 price from ebay Singapore)

The humble beginnings of Lego Minifigures Series 1 in the year 2010, that year i bought 2 boxes from retail at S$210.60 per box (10% discount). Sold most of my extra minifigures, to fellow collectors & family members. After series 1, lego fans/collectors/sellers realized that selling these minifigures can be so profitable. This month on local ebay, a set of Lego Minifigure Series 1 cost a cool S$400!!! At $25 per figure!! My advice to buyers is forget about it, just don't buy, skip them. From S$3.90 each to $25? More than 6 times increment....speechless.

Lego is issuing 3 Minifigures Series per year since 2010. If we include the Lego Movie Minifigs & Simpson Minifigs, there are now a total of 15 Series, 240 minifigures!! At this rate, i am sure many fans will give up, the main reason is running out of space.

 the LEGO components in Minifigures Series 13 are now 100% produced in China. Cheap!

Piggy feeding pigs

Lego pieces are now produced in China, the hat of the princess is loose, it is not a tight fit. I had seen enough of these figures qualities over more than 20 years, since my primary school days. From European factories to China factories...standard and quality dropped, the lego minifigures had some kind of cheap plastic look. Profit all the way. I am not worried about commenting these because at S$4.90 per figure, consumers demand better. That is why for Lego Minifigures Series 13, i just bought 9/16 of them, couldn't be bother to have them all.

Wizards gathering..just rounded up a few for a picture. 

this firey wizard is my favourite, he commanded the skeleton warriors

The Return of the King. Which king do you guys prefer?

Crownies King is my favourite.

welcoming the new king in the kingdom, his sword is make of plastic, preferred chrome.

plastic boardsword is a joke in the kingdom of knights.

Firey wizard leading skeleton warriors to battle (check my last post for more army pictures)

Blacksmith fighting off golbins. Golbins are one of my favourite figures in Series 13. I am glad that golbins are cheap...nobody likes them, that is where i picked up a handful of these fellows.

Behind the orcs raiders are the golbins ready to strike. Plundering, that is what they do best!

Will delicate a post for golbins in the next post.

Hun warrior, that is where the horns are from....

Moving House

Dear readers, i had been busy and in the process of moving house. I'm going overseas tomorrow morning and will be back in a week. I didn't follow up with lego for quite sometime. I am just taking a break and moving away from lego. At the moment, there are some problem with this lego blog, the visitors visit had dropped to less than 50 per day, will rectify it shortly (google had blocked my blog in the search engine).

Last week, i made 2 trips with the car full of lego. Sets included, the modulars, city, grand carousel, kingdoms, castle, death star and others.

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 10

LEGO MINIFIGURES SERIES 10 is coming soon.. within the next few months. There will be a super rare golden figure that will be randomly insert into boxes around the world. There are only 5,000 golden figure. So i was wondering, how much this golden figure is going to cost...at the price of gold??

Librarian, Medusa, Roman Officer, Warrior Woman, Tomahawk Warrior, Skydiver, Bumblebee Girl, Grandpa, Paintball Player, Sea Captain, Sad Clown, Revolution Soldier, Baseball Player, Trendsetter Girl, Painter and Motorcycle Mechanic.

Lego Minifigures Series 9

Here are the pictures of Lego Minifigures Series 9. Pictures from a fellow Singaporean White Fang

According to WhiteFang the distribution in a full box of 60 is as follows: 2 Waiter,  2 Hollywood Starlet, 6 Cyclops, 6 Heroic Knight, 4 Roman Emperor, 6 Policeman, 4 Chicken Suit Guy, 2 Roller Derby Girl, 2 Fortune Teller, 4 Judge, 6 Alien Avenger, 4 Mermaid, 4 Battle Mech, 4 Mr. Good & Evil, 2 Forest Maiden, 2 Plumber. Which means that you can only get two full sets per box. Unlike the earlier sets where we get 3 full sets.

Lego 30201 Monster Fighters GHOST and Haunted House

Take a look at the Monster Fighters Polybag 30201 Ghost. This pack can be an add-on for the haunted house, the grandfather clock can just be placed inside the building.

The 3 NEW GHOSTS

Maybe i will snap more pictures of the haunted house later... 

Placed the grandfather clock at the entrance, found this is the only available space.

Dracula from the haunted house had the evil look (which i prefered) as compared to the earlier minifigure version, similiar to Frankenstein

House warming, with the guests arriving... i missed out the witch and series 8 Vampire bat
