MInifigure Spotlight - Lightning Lad

Haven't done a spotlight in a while and really haven't done much here I apologize.  The Lightning Lad minifigure comes from the 2015 Black Friday Target Exclusive 4 pack.  I was able to actually find a pack well after Black Friday.  To be honest this was the only minifigure in the pack that really interested me.  Lightning Lad is a member of the Legion of Superheroes, I'm not sure if we'll be seeing more Legionnaires in the furture.  He comes with a really nice paint job and the Legion tattoo on the bicep is nice and has an alt face.  I decided to try something new and found a cheap little turntable, see if you like the 360 idea.

Lego Minifigures Series 15 Rarity Guide

With Series 15 being live here is the box break down.

As always the terms I use are my own for the sake of denoting the number of figures that come in each box.  You can expect 3 full sets per box.  All the names I used are from Lego's website.

Rare = 3

Uncommon = 4

Common = 5

Like always if your adept at feeling for figures you should have no problem picking most of these out of blind packs.

1. Farmer - Rare

2: Astronaut - Uncommon

3. Frightening Knight - Uncommon

4. Clumsy Guy - Common

5. Tribal Woman - Rare

6. Flying Warrior - Uncommon

7. Faun - Uncommon

8. Animal Control - Rare

9. Janitor - Uncommon

10. Ballarina - Rare

11. Laser Mech - Rare

12. Kendo Fighter - Common

13. Shark Suit Guy - Common

14. Wrestling Champion - Uncommon

15. Jewel Theif - Rare

Better Know your Wonder Women part 2

With the new Lego DC Super Heroes Batman vs Superman: Dawn of Justice set 76046 Heroes of Justice: Sky High Battle we get a new Wonder Woman minifigure.  I featured Wonder Woman's previous two minifigures last year and now we need to update so here is the updated Better Know your Wonder Woman minifigures.

Not a bad Christmas at all.

2015 Target Black Friday Exclusive 4 minifigure Lego Cubes

I'm late to the show as usual.  These cubes were available as a doorbuster for Black Friday at Target.  They retailed for $9.99 or were free with a qualified $50 purchase of Legos, which wouldn't be hard to hit at Target.  There were two cubes available each with 4 minifigures each.  Each cube had a Ninjago, Legends of Chima, DC Superheroes and a City themed Minifigures with gray stands.

 In this box you got:

 Ninjago Lloyd in Dragon Outfit

 Chima Lavertus in Fire Outfit

 City Swamp Police Sheriff

DC Comics Superboy

In the other box you got:

DC Comics  Lightening Lad

 Kai

 Sir Fangar

Scuba Diver

Not a bad deal as a buy alone or as a bonus.  These are selling for double to triple the original price now.  The only two minifigures I'd care for are the DC Superheroes so probably won't be too hard to track down.

Dr Who!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was just surfing over at the Lego site and noticed they listed a new Dr. Who set in the Ideas section. Let's hope this is one of many to come.  Here's what you can expect when the set is released in early December.  A 623 piece set priced at $59.99.  You get 4 minifigures and 2 Dalek build figures.  The set features the TARDIS and the control room.  Here are some pictures and close up of the minifigures.

 You get the Twelfth Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi.

The Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith.

 Clara Oswald

 A weeping Angel, I wonder if it has a nasty face too.

You also get two Daleks.  I'm not impressed  with their design.  They look clunky and poorly thought out.  The Character Building Daleks are a much better design. Let's hope if Lego decides to go full line with this they refine the character.   It also looks like the 12th Doctor is different then the one available in the Lego Dimensions Level Pack.

75827 Ghostbusters Firehouse Minifigures

If you haven't heard the news then you don't follow Lego on Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, or read any other Legocentric blogs, but Lego has finally released images of the new Ghostbusters Headquaters/Firehouse set.  It's a huge set with 4,634 pieces and a hefty price tag of about $350.

Other blogs have already dissected the set pretty well so since this is a minifigure blog lets focus on the minifigures included with the set.

You get all four Ghostbusters.  They all appear to be the same as the ones you got with the Ecto-1 set except for Venkman which features a slimed variation.  Included in the set are all the other primary cast members and then some.

Dana Barrett

 Louis Tully

 Janine Melnitz

 The Zombie Cabdriver

 The Library Ghost

 Slimer and blue and red ghosts.

The Slimer appears to be identical to the one featured in the Dimensions Fun Pack.  But at least there's no small Stay-Puft Marshmellow Man.

I was thinking of who else they could have included and came up with Walter Peck, the ConEd guy, a Terror Dog, maybe a couple police officers and the mayor.

Here's also hoping your Ecto-1 fits in the garage.
