With only a few sets being released per year, there’s not always a lot for LEGO Collectable Minifigures series collectors to look forward to. That’s why, even though LEGO released high-resolution images of LEGO Minifigures Series 10 a few weeks ago, we’ve all been on the edge of our sets with anticipation, wondering just what the packaging for LEGO CMF Series 10 was going to look like, and what kind of inserts would be included. And as of today, now we know–the bags will be gold (for an obvious reason), and there’s an extra insert beyond the checklist we usually get…

Though no one really guessed the color of the latest series of LEGO Minifigure blind bags, the answer was right in front of our faces the whole time. It was so obvious that we should’ve all realized it months ago, but the LEGO Minifigures Series 10 blind bags packaging will be a shiny, foil gold! This is, of course, in honor the super-rare Mr. Gold minifigure that will be included as part of LEGO Minifigures Series 10. And speaking of the Mr. Gold minifigure…

While we usually only get one insert inside a LEGO Collectable minifigure blind bag (the series checklist), this time out we’re getting an additional insert–advertising the ridiculously rare Mr. Gold chase figure! If anyone wasn’t aware of the Mr. Gold golden minifigure before buying a LEGO CMF Series 10 blind bag, they’ll be hunting for it after they open their very first Series 10 bag!

And of course, each bag also contains the obligatory LEGO Minifigures Series 10 Checklist. There’s not a whole lot to say about the checklist, as we first saw images of these figures several months ago, but it is nice to see all of the different figures from the series lined up next to each other with their accessories.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 10 is expected to arrive in most stores in April 2013, just a few short weeks from now. I’ll post more images of the actual in-hand figures once I get them.
