Lego Exclusive Volkswagon Beetle 10252

I just saw this over of Flickr, Hoth Bricks, reddit and Eurobricks a few hours ago so I am a little late to the party.   Here are the images.  These may not last for long.  :(.  I just linked to the sources.  I would check out Eurobricks and Reddit for the details, but it looks like someone found this on the shelves in Romania.  !!! Wow.   I believe that Cm4sci was the lucky one to find it on Flickr.

Here are the official pictures.

This is the first one of these that I have seen anywhere.  I have not checked the figures to see if they are exclusive,  but the set itself is limited to 500 copies.  Take a look as this is a nice looking set.  It is fun that Lego produces these for new store openings.

I found this over on eBay here and it is ending in less than 24 hours.  This is number 452 of 500.

36 Unique and Possible Monochrome Minifigures added to the Minifigure Database

This post and site contains Affiliate links. I may earn a small commission if you click on them. Click here for more details.

I just added 36 unique and mostly possible Monochrome Minifigures to the minifigure database under the other section.  You may see a few of these showing up on the top 100 minifigure list since a few of these are really difficult to obtain and will cost you a pretty penny if you can even find them.  A good example of this is Sand Green.  I was looking for one last night and I could not find one.  🙂  I imagine that the only way to get this color is to wipe the ink off of a sand green torso!

If you know of any others, please message me or add them as a comment to the bottom of the post!

Please keep in mind that while these are official Lego parts, they are not official Lego minifigures as they did not always come in this exact configuration.  However, I have decided to add them since so many people collect these.

Lego Monochrome Minifigure Madness

List of 36 monochrome minifigures.  This is a full list wiht approximately what they will cost if you can find them and you choose to buy them instead of parting them together on your own.  The ones that are listed at $0.00 are at zero because I am not sure what they will cost you!  I have not been able to find any!

here is the bigger image if you are interested.  Lego Monochrome Minifigure Madness

I originally became aware of large collections of these on eBay when I posted this article a few weeks ago.  See here.

A seller on eBay (see here) helped with with the images and getting the list that he was aware of.  He also has a website called http://www.monofigs.com with some of these available.

I will continue to research what other combinations are possible, but currently, these are the 36 that I am aware of.

I will also try to add the possible partial  combinations as I become aware of them as well.    For example, if the Hand and the head and the torso are available, but the legs are not.

If you know of any that I missed, please let me know.  Also, if you know of any errors in my list, please let me know as well!

Please keep in mind that some of these colors were only produced with printing on them officially, but some crafty people have been able to get copies of some of the parts before they are printed on.  I have seen these parts on bricklink once in a while!  Other people have used various methods to remove the ink from the minifigures.  I have not tried this yet, but you can probably find quite a few ways to do this on the internet.

Thanks for looking and I hope that you enjoy the new section.  I will try to keep it updated as new ones are discovered!

Lego R5-J2 Prototype Minifigure – From Set 9492 Tie Fighter Gallery

A user on eBay just contacted me and told me about this listing and it looks pretty interesting.  This is a user that has listed a few prototypes before so I thought it looked pretty interesting.  Here is the description.  Source eBay.  I have shown the prototype next to an official image from Vincent’s Flickr page.  The prototype figure does not have any painting on it.  Pretty neat find if you ask me.

Lego R5-J2 Prototype Mini - Figure - Extremely RARE From Set 9492 Tie Fighter Gallery

Looking at this figure gives some insight into how Lego produces the prototypes for these and works on creating the initial mould.  I wonder if would end up machining down the ball on the top to make the stud because the 3D Printer cannot make the proper tolerance?  Just a thought.

Source eBay here.

“Up for sale is an extremely RARE Prototype figure used in the production of Lego Minifigures.  These were first shots in the road to the final design.  The top of figured was created by a 3D printer by Lego then molded into the final plastic Lego piece once digital photos had been taken.  I acquired this from a former Lego employee and have no doubt of its authenticity.  If you have followed my auctions you know I have sold some extremely Rare Prototype and Promotional items. “

I know in the past that this user sold a George Lucas figure on eBay a long long time ago.

Thanks for looking and good luck.
