Build Your Own Minifig now at Lego Stores

[Lego_Warlord_8]

Yes, it was pretty pathetic. I think the price is outrageously high, and the selection is very limited. And there where people actually buying it! I wanted to tell them they where getting ripped off. The Lego group had a good idea, but it really needs to be tweaked. ~LW 8~

Here's a picture of the Valley Fair one:

Those holes you see on the bottom left corner are the holes where the parts are. The words up there say "Hat or hair + 1 Accessory + (head) + (torso) + (legs and hips) = (minifig)" and "each minifigure consists of 5 elements".

So you go to Vally fair's Lego store? Do you live in San Jose?

My closest Lego store used to have a make-your-own-minifig, but they only had minifig parts from the basketball and racers lines, which hardly fit my taste. The last time I went there it was gone.

Sometimes I wish Lego would make "Mystery boxes" for bricks and minifigs where they get a bunch of extra pieces from other sets and minifigures and but them in a box and sell them it would be different every time and it occasionally you could get some rare minifigs or printed pieces.

I've seen a minifigure "station" in the downtown Disney Lego store for awhile(2-4 years?).

£6.17 for 3? 3.75 at my local LS...

The bins are random, and go fairly deep

A bit off topic, but a weird lad in the bin found a castle jester hat, and thought it was harley quinns. He was old enough to coulor diffrences, and that offended a past castle fan.

I am most definitely not paying 10 dollars for three minifigs made out of parts that are commonly availible in a wide variety of inexpensive sets - especially since the Pick a Brick wall gives you such a better value.

I completely agree, these not a good value at all. I was at the Tyson's Corner store in VA on Sunday, and I didn't see anything that wasn't on the S@H PaB, where you can build a minifig with headgear and acessory for as little as $1.41! Even with expensive, two-part headgear, and a more expensive accesory, you still won't go over $2.

Not to mention that $10 is more than a small PaB cup!!

The only way this would be remotely worth it is if they started throwing in lots of rare torsos, heads, accesories, etc.
