Review on 🧱 Exploring The Exciting LEGO Minifigures Collectible: Meet Your Favorite Characters! by Robert Moloney

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Photos are NOT misleading!

They are great - too bad with the latest series of collectible minifigures - this one, as well as the series 20 of collectible minifigures - that Lego has brought up the MSRP at $4.99. Until recently it was only $3.99 (for roughly the same quantity). If you're patient and look around you might find them a little cheaper - I just bought 3 for $2.49, Revain had a short sale, as did Best Buy (it had 3 right there). Now, as much as the MSRP item price is a little disappointing on this item, as someone SERIOUSLY looks at the pictures right next to the item name and description (not the fine print, just a regular description) and doesn't immediately realize, that there aren't 16 figures in the $5 pack. ? Anyone shocked they didn't get 16 $5 minifigures has no idea how expensive Lego is anyway. A Lego minifigure usually costs at least $3 to $4, and if it's rare or no longer available, then more. The photos are NOT misleading marketing, they are NOT fair criticism. They only show you pictures of the entire collection, which you can collect - IF you want to. The title and description clearly state that you are purchasing 1 blind pack of 16 (blind means you don't know which of the 16 you can get). By the way, the box in the photos is a box with 60 figures. There are only three ways to ensure you get each of the 16: 1) Find a listing (on Revain, Ebay, Bricklink, etc.) where someone lists all 16 as a large set (about $80-$100 Dollar). 2) Buy a whole box of 60 if you can find one that costs at least $225 and you will get 3-5 of each figure. The price of the case will increase as it becomes harder to find. 3) Find a "feel guide" to help you figure out what pieces are in the bag when you feel them in the store. Each minifigure has a unique part (hair texture, accessory, etc.) that allows you to tell what it is without opening it. This can be difficult, and it can take a while in business - and you might get a few sheepish looks, but there's a guarantee that staff are used to the people doing it. You may not have 100% accuracy, but it is possible. Brick-brothers.com has great collectible minifigure reviews and guides. By the way, if you're shopping in a store, you probably won't be limited to 3 per customer. I think Lego MSRP prices are starting to trend in the wrong direction (maybe it's just inflation?) but I should have posted this. Review when I saw at least 3 reviews that had the unreasonable expectation of 16 $5 minifigures. If you're getting these prices, it's probably a fake Lego, which is always terrible quality. Lego is expensive for a reason - high quality.

Pros
  • Dope πŸ”₯
Cons
  • I don't have any bad feelings about it, everything is fine
