LEGO Minifigures Series 13 Photos & Character List Confirmed!

71008 LEGO Minifigures Series 13 Display Stand

There’s been a wealth of false rumors and misinformation circulating about LEGO Minifigures Series 13 71008, so I’ve been staying silent on the subject until some verifiable proof came along to support claims about the series. Well, over the course of the last few days, that proof has finally arrived!

Thanks to a couple of minifigures shown in the UK LEGO Club Magazine, as well as a leaked photo of the display stand for the series, we can now confirm the authenticity of the actual 71008 LEGO Minifigures Series 13 set coming in winter 2015!

LEGO Minifigures Series 12 71007 Released in Stores!

October 2014 LEGO Minifigures Series 12 71007 Blind Bags

By this point, we all know the drill when it comes to LEGO Minifigures Series. Each series has an “official” release date. But let’s get real–when was the last time that a ton of stores all over the country (including the LEGO Stores themselves) didn’t slip and put boxes out early, leading to loads of people completing their LEGO Minifigures Series before the street date even arrives? Good for LEGO collectors–bad for LEGO street dates. That trend will continue, as the 71007 LEGO Minifigures Series 12 blind bags have now turned up in mass for sale online and in some stores!

LEGO Minifigures Series 12 Fully Revealed Photos!

LEGO Minifigures Series 12 71007 Revealed

I’ve long maintained that LEGO Minifigures Series 12 71007 would be fully revealed during San Diego Comic-Con 2014. But while my thought was that LEGO themselves would premiere the LEGO 71007 Minifigures Series 12 at SDCC 2014 themselves, that’s not quite the case. Actually, LEGO didn’t show off the series at the event at all. Instead, mega-retailer Argos leaked images of the set onto the web. Luckily, this isn’t math class, so while my reasoning was wrong, the results are all that matter–and LEGO Minifigures Series 12 looks outstanding!

As we count down the few remaining days until San Diego Comic-Con 2014, the news is coming in fast and furious at exactly what the hotly-demanded LEGO SDCC 2014 exclusives are going to be!

SDCC 2014 LEGO Marvel Collector Minifigure Exclusive Revealed!

LEGO Marvel The Collector Minifigure SDCC 2014 Exclusive

LEGO has cut it awfully close to the wire this year in announcing their San Diego Comic Con 2014 exclusives, but with less than a week to go until the show begins, the SDCC 2014 LEGO exclusive products are finally being revealed!

I discussed the SDCC 2014 LEGO Rocket Raccoon Warbird set extensively on my Marvel toys blog yesterday, and today LEGO has spilled the beans about another Comic-Con exclusive: the LEGO The Collector minifigure! (Wait, who…?)

LEGO Minifigures Series 12 Photos! Piggy Guy Spooky Girl Prospector

LEGO Minifigures Series 12 Revealed Pig Guy Minifigure Spooky Girl Prospector

While I’m on the mailing list for the LEGO Club Magazine that comes out bimonthly, I have to guiltily admit that I oftentimes don’t exactly read it cover to cover. While I’m a voracious reader and I get totally jazzed about the photos and ads for upcoming sets, most of the magazines tend to consist of word finds and comic strips that I’m less than crazy about. But this month… this month is different! I had heard clear photos of another trio of LEGO Minifigures Series 12 71007 figures debuted this month–and my copy of the LEGO Magazine finally arrived today with glimpses of the Piggy Guy, Prospector and Spooky Girl minifigures!

LEGO Star Wars Dark Side Emperor Palpatine Minifigure Revealed!

LEGO Star Wars The Dark Side Exclusive Emperor Palpatine Minifigure

LEGO books are sort of funny. Unlike basically every other line of books on the market, just as many (if not more) people buy each LEGO book released not for the books themselves (many don’t even read them), but for the bonus exclusive LEGO minifigure packaged with the book. Earlier in the month I fell in love with the exclusive LEGO Firox minifigure packed with the LEGO Chima Dictionary, but today we finally got photographic confirmation of a figure that will likely appeal to a lot more people: the LEGO Star Wars The Dark Side exclusive LEGO Emperor Palpatine minifigure!

The LEGO Movie Blu-Ray & DVD Sets Released in Stores!

The LEGO Movie DVD Blu-Ray Released In Stores On Sale

I have been yammering on constantly about The LEGO Movie and how much I couldn’t wait to own it every since I saw the movie on opening day in February–and now the fated day has finally arrived! I ordered my copy of The LEGO Movie Everything is Awesome Edition for the best price online (with no tax and free shipping!), but I didn’t feel like waiting for the mailman to come today to seen the LEGO Movie Blu-Ray and DVD releases in person, so I decided to head out to my local stores and take some photos of what I found…

LEGO Legends of Chima Character Encyclopedia with Exclusive LEGO Firox Minifigure

But not only are there the line-revitalizing LEGO Chima Fire vs. Ice sets to look forward to, but the highly-anticipated LEGO Legends of Chima Character Encyclopedia is now up for order!

LEGO Minifigures Series 12 Wizard Figure

Usually the weekends are pretty slow as far as news goes, but on this lovely Saturday the peace has been broken by an earth-shattering photo revealing some of the minifigures from what will be for many the most anticipated release of the entire year! While we’ve had two 2014 LEGO Minifigures Series released already, both of those have been themed (LEGO Movie and LEGO Simpsons). But in October 2014, plain old LEGO Minifigures Series 12 71007 will finally arrive–and now we’ve got photos of the first six figures that make up that series, including a Wizard, a Battle Goddess, and even a Video Gamer!

LEGO Minifigures Series 12 71007 Figures List Revealed!

LEGO Minifigures Series 12 71007 Revealed

Remember the olden days, way back when non-themed sets of LEGO Minifigures blind bags were released? Yes, it may be hard to believe, but before there were LEGO Simpsons Minifigures blind bags and before there were LEGO Movie blind bags, LEGO used to release generic series of fun and random minifigures. And coming in October 2014, it’ll be a return to those thrilling days of yesteryear, with the release of LEGO Minifigures Series 12 71007!

LEGO Simpsons Codes List for Minifigures Blind Bags!

LEGO Simpsons Minifigures Series Codes List

Back in the good old days, LEGO used to make things easy for LEGO Minifigures Series collectors with reliable bump codes on each LEGO Minifigure blind bag, allowing the contents to be “easily” discerned by LEGO collectors.

LEGO has strayed a little bit away from that practice over the years, but bump codes are alive and well for the Simpsons LEGO Minifigures Series! If you don’t want to be “that person” in the toy aisle frantically feeling up blind bags, give this list of LEGO Simpsons codes a try to see if it can help you identify exactly the minifigures that you’re looking for instantly…

LEGO Simpsons Ralph Wiggum Minifigure with I Choo-Choo-Choose You Valentine's Day Card

I was legitimately beginning to wonder whether or not LEGO was just going to begin shipping the long-awaited LEGO Simpsons Minifigures Series 71005 this summer without actually showing us images of the figures first, but that silly thought has now been dispelled! This morning, LEGO finally officially revealed LEGO Simpsons Minifigures photos of all sixteen figures that make up the series. I had my doubts, but the figures look superb and some of the episode-specific accessories are dowright awesome
