Even though I have almost complete sets of series 1 through 6 of the highly addicting blind-bag Lego minifigures, I found myself resisting the urge to pick up any of the newest series 7 figures. I'm not exactly sure why. Perhaps I'm getting a little sick of the whole blind-bag thing. There's nothing like buying a handful of figures and getting 4 Scottish warriors. That actually happened. I felt so cheated.
But, the collector in me can only resist for so long, so I picked up a few. Just thought I'd share what I've got so far...
CRAP! Not one daredevil stunt driver! Oh well, I'll probably try again. Because the collector in me is a compulsive beast.
Also, anyone need a Bunny Guy? I got two. :)
We've been picking up figures from the various series in a haphazard fashion. My kids and I love the blind bag aspect -- so much fun, but expensive if you're a completist. We got our first four from Series 7 this weekend: Daredevil, Jungle Boy, Viking Woman, and the Bride. No doubles is always a win. ;)
ReplyDeleteGreat point, Brian. Blind-bags are tons of fun if you just want to get a few, but they can be frustrating and costly for completists.
DeleteI got luck on these Reis and was able to get the 3 figures i wanted on my first try. The Daredevil i managed to find by feeling for his crash helmet. : )
ReplyDeleteI tried feeling for his helmet, but I ended up getting another bunny guy. I'm terrible at that method, I guess.
DeleteDoesn't feeling the ears of the bunny suit give it away?
ReplyDeleteWell, I never said I was good at the pinch and squeeze method. ;)
DeleteI've got 4 Series 6 MINOTARS... but I don't mind. So far all I've got from S7 is the Ocean King.
ReplyDeleteWow! I gotta try and fing that Viking woman! Would make a cool Brünnhilde on display with my opera LPs!
ReplyDeleteIsaac and I love Lego!
ReplyDeleteSadly we can't seem to find the bunny....
I have an extra Bunny Guy! I can send him to you!
DeleteI love Lego minifigs but I'm with you on the blind bagging, gets old after getting 3 or 4 of the same figure. I've got a few doubles I'd be willing to trade for the bunny guy (Computer Programmer, Hippie, Ocean King, Jungle Boy). Great blog BTW.
ReplyDeleteThanks Chris! Email me at reisobrien[at]gmail[dot]com and let's trade addresses! I need any one of the ones you listed. :)
