LEGO Store "Build a Minifigure"

[hikouki]

Some are already listing this on eBay. My usual seller for the past two years confirmed that he will get it in stock in the next two weeks.

I do find it curious that this is the only brick suit minifig that does not have legs in a matching color. I do wonder if Lego plans on releasing regular legs in that red-orange shade.

I got all the January BAM pieces I wanted, including four of the olive green mid legs to pair with the scout torsos from a while ago.

But sadly, none of the newest February pieces in the San Diego store.

I'm not sure of the source of this so I took a screen grab from a Brick Clicker video. @Brick Clicker can maybe shed some light?

 

If it's not obvious that's a reddish orange bricksuit (not the orange bricksuit from Q1 2023) with regular orange legs and the existing orange hermit grab. It's a shame reddish orange legs haven't been done yet because it doesn't look right with out them, I'm sure it's only a matter of time. (edit: reddish orange medium legs exist, I haven't tried if medium legs work with the bricksuit but it's pretty crappy they weren't provided to BAM)

They're supposed to be available February. Which is weird, the BAM exclusives are coming thick and fast. I only got the green Xmas bricksuit a month ago and only caught up on the new Jan 2025 BAM releases a few days ago. I've got all the bricksuit colours to date so I guess I'm in the bag now, it's hard to keep up.

And new animal costume recolours are always welcome.

 

Dang, I already ordered some 2024 construction torsos for the reddish orange arms on the online Pick-A-Brick to outfit a couple of the BAM space jumpsuit piece from last year with (in place of their plain white right arms, so that they match the new color-coded jumpsuits from this year's spaceship set). If I'd known this was coming this would've been a great alternate source for those—especially since my pick-a-brick order is probably still a ways away from arriving. Maybe I'll do that anyway... feels like these brick torsos might be more useful with mismatched arms than the construction gear would be.

I called the 2 closest stores to me 1 knew nothing about them the other said they think they aren't coming to the US. Anyone here anything otherwise.

Thanks! It's such a useful reference.

That would be so disappointing if true. Although they do usually appear in Europe first, but only for a few weeks, so hopefully that's what's happening.

Thanks very much! As always you're very reliable and quick to get and document the latest BAM releases.

At first I didn't care for the dog print on the torso but now I can see it's supposed to represent a dog balloon animal, which fits the birthday party theme, I like it more. I actually prefer the back print so swapping the arms and reversing the orientation should fix that.

It might be a similar scenario to this release which was a bit more limited in some countries because of supply issues if I recall correctly:

Or it's a case of it being too early in the release cycle (the previous release was just over a month ago) and not every store having up to date info.

.... reddish orange medium legs exist....

Disappointingly, these reddish orange legs are not available to purchase on PAB that I can see. I thought because they are unprinted they'd be available like some other plain medium legs from Animal Crossing but that must be because they also appear in other sets.

Unfortunately the printed and minifigure elements from Animal Crossing are off limits on PAB because it's licensed. So it's back to waiting for Lego to produce reddish orange plain legs in a future City set to complete the brick costume. 

I did try a previous brick costume with medium legs and it works fine, regardless of the size they can't bend into the seating position anyway. Great for making a child in the brick costume instead of an adult.

It may be that they are too new to be released on PAB yet? And PAB introduction of new parts may be delayed a little, given the upheaval they've been going through for the last few months? Hopefully, anyway.

Really hate it when we get these 'incomplete' figs and we are waiting and waiting and waiting for Lego to finally produce the missing part.

How many years did it take them to make the Classic Space helmet in green, after the Ideas green space couple. Now we are waiting for the dark blue helmet and dark blue air tanks for a dark blue spaceman. And now we are just waiting for a reddish orange set of legs.

That's really odd. Those reddish orange medium legs were available on PAB in November when I ordered them (still yet to receive the order) and they were still there last week. It looks like they've removed a lot of the medium legs and some other items in the last few days.

Ah, thanks for the confirmation they've been listed in the past. I only checked several days ago and they obviously weren't listed. I thought it might be because of the recent appearing/disappearing on a whim parts situation, based on what else is available under Design ID: 107007.

Do they make regular legs, hand and blank heads in the same color as the brick suit?

Nope, not yet. But reddish orange is still a pretty new color, I wouldn't be surprised to see full length legs at least before long.

I went to the LEGO Store at Disney Springs and they didn't have the new February figures (with the reddish orange brick suit). I think they normally get things on the earlier side in the US, so maybe it's not a February release, or perhaps it is Europe only, which would be a huge shame.

[karrit]

We have two LEGO stores in Colorado.  The one I visited on Saturday, south of Denver, did not have the new February BAM.  Due to the higher than expected amounts of snow I wasn't able to make it to the other store west of Denver but they do have the February BAM according to some of my fellow LUG members.  I'm hoping to get there this coming Saturday, the weather is supposed to be much warmer with no snow currently in the forecast after Thursday. 

That Disney Springs store is consistently inconsistent in what their stock situation is.  Are they finally finished with the renovations?

Here in Connecticut the lego store in Danbury had the reddish orange brick suit and the February figures.  I'm not really interested in the brick suit guy but I did find some other fig parts like the wizard and lion knight legs that I ended up getting along with the hermit crab.

I didn't notice any obvious renovation work, but then again, it was hard to see anything through the throngs of people! 

The BAM print factory has move since I last visited, now being next to an old entrance, so probably?

[karrit]

The Minifigure Factory was already moved over there by those doors last time I visited last May.   They had supposedly closed for renovations a few months ago but the last pictures I saw from there I really didn't notice anything different.  Did they still have the old BAM towers or was it the newer style ones they are installing in new stores that are more like a table with bins of parts?

Still the old BAM towers. I didn't notice anything else different, other than the repositioned printers. I was last there a year ago or so, I think?

[jonwil]

No sign of the new BaM (with the brick suit) here in Australia yet :(

 

[karrit]

I'm a bit surprised there haven't been any new Spring/Easter figures.  Maybe they are saving them for second quarter release.  And for those that want Reddish-orange legs for the Brick suit they are available online in the mid leg size.

Zomg - Lego cancelled Easter! #woke 

Wouldn’t be surprised if the reddish orange normal legs appeared in a big set and become a chase part

An image of the next wave of BAM has finally surfaced.  Looks like the Cockatoo will be in the mix.

I assume it’s the same colour etc?
