Kivi Posted June 3, 2014 Posted June 3, 2014 btw do the lego space guys the ones with the zippers across their chest do they all have visors? Because I am seeing ones without. According to Bricklink, they do and note that the helmet is different from that worn by single-coloured CS minifigs without visors. If you saw those without they are probably assembled together from CS and Futuron and therefore not original.

Thanks for that important info I will stay away from the ones without visors that I see online. Because I have seen quite a few pop up with no visors on then that are supposed to have them.
peterab Posted June 4, 2014 Posted June 4, 2014 Oh ok cool yeah i'm trying to collect a bunch of older lego minifigures and display them just not sure what other ones to collect. Pretty much anything you like is a not too expensive proposition except Star Wars or superheroes minifigs. Both Star Wars and superheroes have had some exceedingly limited releases of figures which have quite insane prices, so wanting to collect all of them means big money. Star wars has a huge variety though, and some fairly cool niches. I can't help myself when it comes to droids and aliens for example. You really should get to know Bricklink as others have suggested. You are less likely to be lied to about condition, the prices are more consistent, and you'll find what you want far easier. There is a bit of a learning curve to using it but once you master it, it's a lot more convenient than Ebay for LEGO.
emilstorm Posted June 5, 2014 Posted June 5, 2014 If you are looking for other themes to collect I would go for 80's castle. They would go pretty well with your space figs, there are not a million different ones and most of them are affordable :)

I ordered 3 minifigs the past few days and all of which should be here by Saturday so I am excited. This brick link site seems interesting I just feel like you're closing your eyes and reaching into a bag and grabbing the unknown only because I noticed people post stock photos. Yeah I am thinking about collecting some classic town minifigs and ones like those and maybe a few star wars still not too sure exactly what though lol definitely classic space though. If you are looking for other themes to collect I would go for 80's castle. They would go pretty well with your space figs, there are not a million different ones and most of them are affordable :) That's actually a very good idea I see them in my big Lego minifigure book
