Seeing these new pics they’re looking much better. Beside this, there is no No#1 figure in this series – like it was the elf or the crazy scientist for me – which is much more desirable than the others (there are better and not so good figures in it though). First I thought this is bad, because there is no figure I van be enthusiastic about. But know I think it’s good, because:
In the first 4 series, there were always at lest 2 figures I wanted by all means, and 7-8 other I liked. In the first 2 series when the barcodes gave me 100% accuracy I could buy these minifigs without any problem.
In series 3, when the dotcodes and feeling the bag is much more difficult to me (maybe I am too clumsy the feel the bag, or to impatient to have time practicing) I just bought some bags and hoped to be different, and to have my favorites. Some case I managed, some case not, but I could trade with others to have my favs, and I liked to other random figs as well (there is no such thing, as bad minifig). And the time, when I already have some figs, but not all the best figs yet is a little bit annoying. After that, I could by anything without any pressure missing the best figs, worst case I just have some duplicates.
The 4th series is ahead of me (not yet in Hungary) so I can just hope to get my goodies.
But in the 5th series, if I get 3 or 4 of the best figures (none of them is a must-to-have) and some other figs, I will be happy. Buying an unknown minifig is fun, IF you don’t want any of them desperately!
