tuber Posted April 7, 2010 Posted April 7, 2010 Hello all, I recently went to the Lego store and found that they had pirate torsos heads and headgear (including shakos!) in build a minifigure. unfortunately the torsos are cheap Chinese plastic but still shakos! tuber. Quote
tuber Posted April 7, 2010 Author Posted April 7, 2010 hello all, oh and these where at the stonebriar Lego store so i can't speak for other ones but still worth checking out. tuber. Quote
Captain Zuloo Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Perhaps a newbie question, but what is 'build a mini figure'? Quote
Ratshot Posted April 8, 2010 Posted April 8, 2010 Perhaps a newbie question, but what is 'build a mini figure'? You can make 3 minifigs, each with an accessory and hat for $9.99 US. Quote
General Redwater Posted April 9, 2010 Posted April 9, 2010 (edited) You can make 3 minifigs, each with an accessory and hat for $9.99 US. I don`t think it is worth it, because most of the time it is the cheap Chinese plastic, and most of the accessories are just brooms, shovels, ect. Edited April 9, 2010 by General Redwater Quote
DLangRI Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 I would definitely like if they had better accessories for the pick-a-minifig, but as previously said all of the torsos are rather generic and Chinese made. Chinese quality is slowly increasing quality, however the overall lack of selection is odd considering. The accessories (Hats and hand items) are also bland. The only interesting piece was a silvery (the new silver paint, not chrome) fireman's hat. Hand items are just push brooms, binoculars, and power tools. The heads are the only real thing of value since I've found many there of faces I enjoy. pick-a-minifig = $9.99 pick-a-brick cup = $7.99 WHY!? Quote
not-in-use-anymore Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 pick-a-minifig = $9.99pick-a-brick cup = $7.99 WHY!? Well, a while ago you could get 1 minifig for about 3.33 dollars. 3 minifigs for $3.33 each, $9.99.(and, a while ago they had currently rare parts like the new death eater head, and the princess dress, along with some old sports heads) Quote
SlyOwl Posted April 10, 2010 Posted April 10, 2010 At Bluewater a couple of weeks back they had shakos and Imperial torsos; no epaulettes, though. Normal quality plastic, as far as I could tell. It was £3.50 for 3 minifigs, or £1.50 each, as I recall. Quote
Blackheart Brit Posted April 12, 2010 Posted April 12, 2010 You do not have to get accessories, it is just five pieces per "minifig". I got three soldiers and instead of a weapon, there were no piratey ones, I just got extra shakos. Three soldiers and three extra shakos, not too bad, but they are on the more than i want to spend side of things. Quote

At my store a minifig includes one head, one torso, one pair of legs, one hair/hat, and one item. Quote
