Minifigures, The all new series 2! – LEGO

Posted by dulwichmum on Wed 25 August 2010

Name of product: LEGO Minifigures – the all-new Series 2!

Price: £1.99

The blurb: “LEGO Minifigures has been the undisputed collectable toy craze of the summer, shooting to number 1 in the UK toy charts since launch in May. With many shops selling out of Series 1 Minifigures by the end of July, kids can’t wait for the new gang to be up for grabs! From 1st September the eagerly anticipated Series 2, with 16 brand new characters, will be in shops in time to take back to school: let the swapping begin…

Each series features 16 never seen before characters. Highlights of the Series 2 line up include a Disco Dude with funky ‘fro and a cool Surfer with rad surf board. The range also includes Explorer, Karate Master, Lifeguard, Mariachi, Mime Artist, Pharaoh, Pop Star, Ringmaster, Skier, Spartan Warrior, Traffic Cop, Vampire, Weightlifter and the Witch. The Minifigure combines easily with all classic LEGO bricks and parts. Its head is one LEGO brick high and its body is three bricks high.”

First impressions: Brightly coloured sealed pack, obscure the figure within! My darling 8 year old son became very exciting – “which figure have I got?”

Ease of Use: “Tear the bag open and see which mini figure I have…What fun!” Bless! – (wipes tear from eye)

Pros: Perfect Max tells me that these figures come with very rare parts, making them very collectible, “great for building and making your own figures. It is very satisfying to get a figure you are looking for. These are very swappable – great to take to school”

Cons: According to Max, it could be quite frustrating if you keep getting a LEGO minifigure you already have. Some schools don’t allow you to do any swapping as they can cause arguments.

Value for money:. Good value for money – “especially if you manage to get one of the rare figures with cool pieces”

Dulwichmum verdict:
