because they stopped making the solid stud heads in the late 80's early 90's

Hello everybody I have some minifigures that I need some verification with. I would like to know if my space and fire minifigs are indeed from the 80's and 90's and not reissued. I know Toys R Us had a vintage minifig collection and I just wanted to be sure this that these aren't the vintage ones and passed off as 80's and 90's minifigs. I got some of these a year ago from Bricklink and Ebay. With the fire fighter ones I think the vintage set the coat buttons are more yellow than gold but hard to tell. I know one has a solid stud head and the other doesn't I have a few others (Not pictured) that do not have the solid stud head I don't even know when they stopped making that. Attatched are the pictures I am just very particulate with my collection as I want the actually classic items not the remade. http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=6217243 http://www.brickshel....cgi?i=6217240 Solid stud head http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=6217242 http://www.brickshel...y.cgi?i=6217241 I had problems on this site uploading pics so I put them as a link

I guess bricklink is wrong then.

?

I'm kinda confused though because didn't the solid stud heads run till 1992? I'm looking at the Blacktron 2 minifigs without the jet packs and they were made 1991 - 1993 but I see people selling with solid stud head so i'm kinda confused a bit.

I give you a lot of credit that site helped out A LOT

so the fire fighters I have are from the 80's and 90s they're not the ones from the vintage selection with swapped heads? Just thought it was odd how one was solid stud and they other wasn't.

I believe the links are working now

Oh ok I missed the one part.

Any inputs to my post people? Hopefully the pictures are working now.

I just uploaded the pics to on there I guess they have to be approved :-(

The links are there

Why is the Circus clown and many other Series minifigures $25 yet other Series minifigs are $3-4?. Asides from collecting some vintage stuff I have thought about collecting the Series 1-11 as well but was just curious why certain ones seem over priced.

I checked out even that Zombie minifigure and i'm finding it for $35 it's crazy lol

I guess it is what it is and I'll just have to deal with paying that price. Just crazy how expensive some of them get.

Indeed we have haha :-) thanks a lot and it's definitely adding on I got more figures in.Thank you everyone

Hello everyone I recently started collecting minifigs and figured i'd get active in the online community and meet new friends from around the world :-). My name is Chris

Very good

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. That's actually a very good idea I see them in my big Lego minifigure book

wasn't sure where to post this on here so here I go. Hey everyone I'm new here and will more more lego minifigure thread questions. I'm trying to look for the original lego space minifigures the blue,red,black and yellow ones from the 80's not the remade ones from the vintage collection but all i'm finding is ones that say "Benny" and ones that look questionable. I have been looking on Ebay but wasn't sure if anyone had some tips so I don't get a rereleased one also looking for the original blacktron space minifigure on ebay as well so if someone can help me a bit finding these on ebay i'd appreciate it. I just recently got into collecting minifigures. I am from the U.S.A.

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.

Thanks a lot friend I really appreciate it :-)

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.

Thanks for the offer buddy :-) I may look around a little more and if I can't find an original I will message you 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.

I wonder what the chances of me finding an original are :-/
