I recently picked up these two Lego Harry Potter Torsos that have the Lego Logs written on the back of them.  It appears that these are the only ones in the Harry Potter line that have this.

Does anyone know where these come from?  When or why were they produced?  Were the included in some sort of promotion?  I anyone knows, please drop me a message via Facebook or on the Discus message below.

I picked these up on Bricklink here and here.

The appear to be the same as the torsos that come in these two figures except that they have the Lego Logo on the back.

Please let me know if you know of any additional information on these.  I would appreciate it.

A few people have commented on Facebook and it appears that these are keychain Torsos that made it out of the factory before being spiked with the keychain hook.

I also found this page here.

It looks like we may have a Snape and Hermione as well.  But I do not nee any mention of them on Bricklink.  Just this minifigs.net site.

Please like my page if you get a chance to keep this news coming in your direction.

I do not know a great deal about this figure other than that he is a new variety of the Club Max figure.  It appears that he was given away in 2014 at two different events.  How many of you have received this figure?

Here is the back as well.

I am not sure how many of these were given away.  I just recently came across this in a recent purchase.  I have checked eBay to see if any others are for sale and I am only finding this one.

Here is a pick of the promo bag that he came in.

I see that someone else on Flick also has found one of these.  It looks like they found it a while ago.  Here are their pictures.  The Flickr site also has a few comments about the figures as well.

Here you can also see him with the current Max figure that is being distributed on JeRome Flickr site as well.

Finally, it looks like this figure is the same one that is currently used in artwork on the Lego Club website!

Here is an example.

Minifigures in Space

Today I saw the coolest thing that I have ever seen on the Lego Reddit page.  User Syntriphics on reddit posted this picture of one of his Lego figures that was flown on the Space Shuttle Discovery to the International Space Station.  You can see this post here on reddit.

https://www.reddit.com/r/lego/comments/3msb47/this_is_my_lego_astronaut_he_flew_with_my_uncle/

lego astronaut minifigure flew to the International Space Station and back

 

I read though all of the comments and it appears that his uncle was one of the Astronauts that flew on this mission and took the figure to space for the Original Poster.

As I read through the comments, I saw a few interesting comments.  More have been ebing added all day.  I suggest and even ask that you take a look at the post on reddit and give him an upvote as this is the coolest thing that I have ever seen on the Lego Reddit page!

  • The figure was taken to outer space especially for the original poster.
  • The figure was put in a small plastic bag because they were afraid that the pain might flake off in Zero Gravity.
  • It’s hard to fathom exactly how rare it is for someone to be an astronaut. There are about 3 times as many billionaires on Earth right now as there have been astronauts throughout history. Know anyone whose uncle is a billionaire? The owner of this minifigure is an even rarer breed.

The certificate of Authenticity reads as follows.

“This Lego Astronaut was flown for ******* aboard the United States Space Shuttle Discovery to the International Space Station.  Discovery launched at 11:59 p.m. EDT, August 29, 2009, from Pad 39A at the Kennedy Space Center, Florida.  At 8:53 p.m. EDT, September 11,2009, Discovery landed at Edwards Air Force Base, California having traveled 217 Earth orbits.

Discovery reached and altitude of 213 Miles and a speed of 17.5000 miles per hour.  The flight duration lasted 13 days, 20 hours, 53 minutes, 45 seconds covering a total distance of 5,702,716 statute miles”

 

We have heard about a few other minifigures that have made it to space.

A few custom figures produced by minifigs.me that you can see more info about here.

The ESA has these guys up in space now or just recenly.

 

Here is a pic of one of these figures in space.  I am sure you have seen this one.    You can see it on Flickr here.

I believe that Nasa flew 300 of these up into space.  I have been trying to find more information out about these.  But the general idea is that 300 of these figures were flown up into the space station and then given away? as prizes or something like that.   I know of two varieties that exist.  Here is one of them.

You can read more about this here.

If you know of any other figures that have been to space, please comment on Discus below!

We all saw a teaser a few months ago.  Now we have an official minifigure picture.  I am not sure if this is a licensed figure or not.  Since we are getting a movie, I guess it should be considered as such.  🙂

This was posted over on the Lego facbook page this morning.

Lego Dimensions Unique Licensed Figures from Wave One

EDIT:  I missed one.  Gimli has a new head as well.  🙁  I just went and picked one up.  I will add pics later.

Lego Dimensions Gimli head is different

I picked up all of the starter Pack, Fun Packs and Team Packs from wave one that fit the following criteria.

  • Were not Chima or Ninjago
  • Were not Jurasic Park
  • Were Licensed
  • I thought that they may be unique

I picked up some of these from Amazon, some from Best Buy and Some from Toys R Us.

I also picked up the Starter Pack with Batman, WyldStyle and Gandalf.  All in all, I picked up 12 figures including the ones that come in the Starter pack.   I also picked up quite a few vehicles, but I do not have time to look at those today.

Of the 12 figures that I looked at in Wave on, my original prediction was pretty close.  I was wrong on a few points as follows.

  • Gandalf is sporting a new head
  • WildStyle is not new
  • Bad Cop is not new

So we ended up with 7 new or different licensed figures in Wave 1.

The six shown above, plus the guard from Jurassic Park.

Lego Dimensions Portal New Figure

As expected, Portal is a unique figure.  This one is 29.99 on Amazon.

 

Lego Dimensions Unique Scooby Doo

Scooby has a new head with his tongue sticking out.  The New figures is on the left in all cases for comparison.  This set is 24.99 on Amazon.

The next two figures are from the Starter Pack.  This is the most exspensive item that I purchased at 99 on Amazon.

Lego Dimensions Batman Different Cowl

Batman has a mix up pf previously released parts.  He has a closed cowl and a differnet head than the figure that already has this body.Lego Dimensions Batman Different Head Back Lego Dimensions Batman Different Head Front

Gandalf was very difficult to tell.  They gave him a new face.

 

Lego Dimensions Gandalf Different Face

Which you can clearly see here.Lego Dimensions Gandalf Different Head

 

here is a better picture for those in denial!

Lego Dimensions Gandalf has a new head

Legolas also received a new face that makes this figure unique.  This one is 14.99 on Amazon.  Lego Dimensions Legolas Differnt Face

The witch is new.  The wizard of Oz set is 14.99 on Amazon.

Lego Dimensions Wizard of Oz Witch

Here are the non unique figures that I picked up today.

Lego Dimensions Wave 1 Not Unique Characters

 

Marty is sort of Unique if you count the Guitar, but all of these are identical to the prior figures that were already released in other sets.

I stopped by Toys R Us today and the shelves were still full at 3:00 PM.

I also snapped a picture of the display that they had at Toys R us.  The one at Walmart had a TV in it as well.

Indiana Jones

Lego Complete Indiana Jones Minifigure Collection – How it came to be

Gallery Leave a comment

This is my Lego Indiana Jones Minifigure Collection.  This collection started on  a whim one day in 2009.  I was mostly just collecting Lego Star Wars MISB sets.  MISB = Mint in Sealed Box Sets and Lego Star Wars minifigures at that time.   I had started coming to terms with the fact that I may want to start just collecting minifigures and I had started to build display cases to display the minifigures in.

Lego Indiana Jones Complete Minifigure Collection

The friday night in question, I had gone to Play Poker with some of my friends.  We play ones a month with a $20 buy in and 3rd place gets $20, 2nd place gets $30 and the rest goes to the winner.   That night, the post was $240 and the winner took home $180 and it was me!!!!.  I woke up the next morning and I had to do some shopping at Target and as is usual, I decided to check out the Lego Isle.  While in the Isle, I came across the Lego Indiana Jones Temple of Doom Set, and it was on sale.

Now this set had all sorts of things going in its favor to be going home with me that day.

  1. I had just won at poker and had money burning a hole in my pocket.
  2. The set was on sale
  3. The set had a small guage train track piece in it that I wanted to see
  4. The set had the Mola Ram figure in it which at the time was pretty detailed
  5. It was September or October  and I had run out os Star Wars sets to purchase for the year and I was waiting for the next wave to be released in January.

So I picked it up for I believe $69.99.  I brought it home and pulled out the minifigures and said those are sweet.  I then promptly built a small display case for these figures and set them on a shelf.    I felt that I was finished with Indiana Jones at that time.

I then went to work over the next few days and I would come home and I would look at the figures next to my Star Wars figures and I would then go to Bricklink and look at the other ones that I was missing.  And I would say I do not want those any ways.  This happened a few times until I finally started picking up a few other sets and then I ultimately finished it off buy buying sets off of eBay and Bricklink.  This was a difficult one to complete because you basically had to find new figures and make sure that no one have mixed up the parts.  Too many close parts to look at.

Here is a full list of all of the Indiana Jones Figures here.

http://www.minifigpriceguide.com/INDIANAJONES.0.html

At about $20 Mola Ram is the only Indiana Jones Figure to make the list of expensive figures.  He is at about 210 on the list.

http://www.minifigpriceguide.com/Top100LegoMinifigures.html

So, if you are looking for a licensed theme to start collection, this one is relatively cheap to get into.  The full set of these figures will only set you back about $250 bucks.

I checked on ebay and they have quite a few Mola Ram figures for about $20 bucks here.

Lego Indiana Jones Complete Minifigure Collection Mola Ram

My collection is missing one figure that I did not know about until today.  If you look at the Skeleton in my collection.  He has Silver Armor and it appears that lego also make a Pearl Light Gray version on another set.  🙁  Off to Bricklink I will go.  It has to be complete.  Right?

These two figures will also need to be added to the price guide in time.  I have about 100 to add right now.  🙂

I will be adding a video to this post shortly.

Lego Dimensions Will Be Supported For an Additional 3 years and beyond

Per a recent interview with EuroGamer here

http://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2015-09-25-lego-dimensions-has-a-three-year-plan-for-more-levels-and-characters

Lego Dimensions

TT Games has confirmed that they have a three year plan to add more content to Lego Dimensions.  So the good news is that it is not going anywhere soon!

I recently posted all of the unique figures that are coming in the packs here.

http://minifigpriceguide.com/wordpress/lego-dimensions-unique-figures-that-are-not-anywhere-else/

Lego Dimensions has 21 Unique Figures as far as I can tell so far

Here is an excerpt from the interview.

“And there’s no end in sight – developer TT Games is currently planning to support Dimensions with new add-ons until at least 2018.

“We have a three year plan at the moment and we’ve got no intention of stopping there,” associate producer Mark Warburton told Eurogamer during an interview conducted at EGX.

“We’ve created the technology to the degree that we’re happy it meets our needs for the future. We’ve created the toy pad so that it shouldn’t need to be updated. And we can just create new level and character packs to keep expanding that.”

I am starting to see more of these over on eBay so we should see a bunch of review for these shortly.

I most excited about this set with the GhostBusters Slimer and StayPuft.
