Usually feeling them out will help. There's always one distinctive bit, even in those that lack it.

i can't correlate those bump codes with the two packets i have here. are they american ones? i know the american barcodes were different but that may've been due to them using a different barcode standard.

Never got the Roman soldier from the last run. Got everything else so quickly I got bored of looking.
Waiting for the Monster Fighter sets
― Spleen of Hearts (kingfish), Thursday, 5 April 2012 12:21 (twelve years ago) link
i just seemed to get female astronauts and aliens in the last lot. and a minotaur with only one horn 8(
future soldier looks a lot like a reaction to the halo minifigs that you can also find places.
― koogs, Thursday, 5 April 2012 12:29 (twelve years ago) link
Yeah, he's full-on space marine. Combine some of him with lady astronauts and you'll have a full platoon of mixed-gender squaddies.
You get one of those Halo minifig baggies? They're some chintzy-ass construction

no. did pick up a couple of the playmobil packs for a friend's kids. they are same price despite containing about twice the plastic (and are split between male and female, ninjas in the one, princesses in the other) (ok, not that simple, the female ones contain vampires and lara croft etc)

I kind of think the opposite - it'd be a stick-on for a video game, and the actual lego falls back out of that.

Culture Show: Lego - The Building Block of Architecture
The Lego Movie (released 14 February) is the latest big-budget incarnation of one of the world's most popular toys. Yet Lego is more than a global brand. Tom Dyckhoff explores its fascinating relationship with architecture, and argues that it has changed the way we think about buildings.

They're coming out with an Arctic line. Now you too can re-enact John Carpenter's The Thing only with minifigs.

They upped the price on minifigs; now $4 per, for this series at least.

the lego movie minifigs were £2.50, up from £2 (olympics were £2.50 also). i didn't bother with either. might pick up these though.
― koogs, Wednesday, 26 March 2014 22:23 (ten years ago) link
We never got the Olympics ones over here. The movie figs stayed the same price.
