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.

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.

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.

Here is my original post of all of the unique figures in the Lego Dimenions sets.  I had to update a few items, but it is still holding up pretty well.

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

This post(s) and site contain affiliate links. I may earn a small commission if you click on them. Click here for more details.

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.

https://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.

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.

Lego 3500 3530 and 3529

 

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

This post(s) and site contain affiliate links. I may earn a small commission if you click on them. Click here for more details.

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.
