Personally, I don’t like this one bit as it just makes it harder for people wanting to collect certain ones as they’ll have to theoretically go through more boxes to find what they want. You get more junk with the common ones bumped up to 6 per box, and the rare ones shrunk down to only 2 per box. Some bad news here as Lego has changed the ratio of minifigs in boxes, which in simpler terms means that every box now only has two complete sets of Series 10 minifigs.
Only 5,000 of the chrome gold painted minifigs were created and I’ve been extremely fortunate to find one myself, which I’ve written about extensively in a post here, so I won’t go into too much detail about him.įirst up, here’s the breakdown of each box of Series 10 minifigs. Gold, a “super rare”, excruciatingly hard to find minifig into random boxes of Series 10, which sparked a global gold rush among Lego fans, eager to get their hands on Mr. Notice how there are 17 minifigs in the lineup, as compared to the 16 of previous editions? Lego decided to commemorate the 10th Series by including Mr. In case you were thinking of hunting these minifigs down, they can be found throughout Australia at most Kmarts, Big Ws, David Jones, Myer, Target, Toyworld or specialty Lego shops like I’m Rick James Bricks for $4.99 per packet which contains a random minifig. Perhaps a new series every 6 months will keep it fresh. I’ve heard rumours that we won’t be getting Series 11 for sometime, with some people speculating that this will be the final Collectible Minifigure Series – I don’t buy it as it’s such a huge cash cow for Lego that I don’t see it going anywhere anytime soon although I will admit it’s getting stale. It’s undeniable that Lego has inspired many copycats from Mega Bloks, to Angry Birds but none of them have ever come close to the astonishing legacy that Lego has created.
I remember first starting out with Series 2 (when Series 1 came out, I was still stuck in the dark ages) and its remarkable that Lego has gotten to a whole decade of these minifigs. Welcome to the first part of my review for Series 10 of Lego’s Collectible Minifigures! Can’t believe we’re already at number 10.
