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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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 have said this before.  My first love is Lego minifigures, but these Lego promotional bricks are just super collectible and also easier to display.  All the same size, stackable etc.

lego Big E 2012 Promotional Brick

I laughed pretty hard when I saw this brick on eBay and I thought it I would really like the ones with a D and an O!  At least I thought it was Funny.  This seemed a little un Lego at first, but it appear that they have a whole campaign around the Big E!

I was able to find 2 more of these on eBay, but that was it?  I cannot find it anywhere else.  I am going to have to get myself one of these.

I have not been able  to find this brick on Bricklink or in the promobricks catalog.

The Big E appears to be a State Fair for 6 New England States all at once.  You can read a little more about it here if you are interested.

Thanks for looking!

I found two other things that were kind of interesting tonight.  Spending way too much time trying to learn more about the Lego Dimensions that will be released this weekend!

  1. This Lego Promotional NBA Polybag.

Lego 3500 3530 and 3529

And 2. that Amazon is discounting its Prime Membership by 33% today.  If you want or plan to get this, this is a good deal.

This is a new one. Amazon Prime is on sale for today only

If you are like me, you buy a lot of Lego and Lego sets.

I use Amazon Prime for the free shipping and the Free Movies.   I find that it is nice to pick out my lego sets and just have them arrive two days later.  They also have free storage now as well, but I have not been using that yet.  You can look at the offer here.  It says that the $33 dollars discount will be applied at checkout.  If you are looking at getting this anyways, this is a good deal.

Lego Amazon Prime on sale

In my opinion, the free shipping convenience with Christmas coming up makes this worth it.  This promotion has to do with their new show Transparent which just one 5 emmys.  I have not even heard about this show, but I will at least give the first show a try.  🙂

I looked over the language and it appears that you can still take advantage of this offer if you are an existing Amazon Prime member as well if you do the following.

  • Buy yourself a gift subscription
  • Stop your Auto Renew on your account
  • Use the gift subscription to renew when you are due up
  • Turn auto renew back on.

This will new you over 30 bucks.  Enough for one small Lego set!

Lego NBA Poly Bags – I have not seen these before – Kobe Bryant

Something fun I saw over on eBay.  I am not sure how they distributed these.    I know that these are old, but they are pretty sweet looking.  Definitely a rare poly bag.

I picked my copy of these minifigures in the Lego set that they also came in.  I never knew they also came in Poly Bags.  That is pretty nice.

Have you seen others of these?    I checked on bricklink and these are the only three listed.    And they are crazy expensive?

Confirmation of Lego Star Wars Hoth UCS Set 75098 on Netherlands Retailer Site

We spoke about the earlier here, but a Netherlands Online retailer has just posted some information about this upcoming Hoth UCS set here at www.minstebricks.nl

Lego 75098 UCS Hoth Set

 

 

It is slated to be priced at 269 Euro which should put it at about 2000 pieces and I am guessing 7-8 minifigures to make sure that we buy it.

This definitely goes along with all of the rumors that we saw here last week.
