Series 4 'Rares' in Store Now

Late last week I mentioned that I was able to purchase some Series 4 Collectible Minifigures. I've recently finished taking guide pictures for all of the 'rare' figures and placed them for sale on my BrickLink store. I currently have The Lawn Gnome, The Ice Skater, The Hockey Player, The Viking, and The Crazy Scientist (alas The Musketeer still evades me). I've attempted to price the figures competitively, plus I have flat rate shipping*. You can purchase more, but shipping costs will stay the same.

I only have one of each figure, so hurry down and take a look. There are also a few other figures like The Werewolf and Soccer Player still available as well.

You can check it all out on BrickLink.

It's Time to Upgrade!

It's already time to start upgrading the Series 4 Collectible Minifigure guides. I've started in with The Crazy Scientist, giving you 360 views of the fig and close-ups of key features.

I'm also adding the dot codes from minifigcollector.com for your reference while in store.

I will do my best to update each guide entry in a timely fashion. If there's anything you would like to see for a particular fig that you haven't seen to date, just let me know.

Series 4 Now on Sale at ToysRUs.com

While visiting The Brick Blog to provide a link, I noticed a post saying that ToysRUs.com is currently selling Series 4 Collectible Minifigures online! The post was this morning, but it appears they still have them in stock. They are retailing for $2.99 USD and there don't appear to be any limits. Right now Toys R Us will ship for free on orders above $75. Head on over to TRU.com for more details.

Thanks once again to The Brick Blog for the news.

Series 4 Collector Case on Amazon

Daniel of The Brick Blog set me a link for this Series 4 Collectible Minifigure collector's case on Amazon. The Amazon listing shows it being from LEGO, but it's being sold by another retailer (Toy Hoarder).

The front is made of a clear PVC plastic with a backing that slides into place. The back has a listing for all 16 figures. The case can stand by itself or hang from a wall.

There are plenty of ways you can display you Series 4 figures, and now you have another option. The case retails for $19.99, but do make certain you read all details regarding shipping and handling.

You can find the listing on Amazon.com.

Thanks to The Brick Blog for sending this over.

The Stargate is Open

I knew that I couldn't have been the only one to think 'Stargate' when LEGO Pharaoh's Quest came out. Outside of JasBrick's custom minifigures, however, I hadn't seen much done. 

Eurobricks member Yatkuu has answered the call with this MOC depicting the villains transporting in. Great use of lighting and the build captures the action the 'transporter rings' quite well.You can see more of this MOC on Eurobricks.

Amazing Zelda Custom Sword on Shapeways

Shilo shares this new minfig scale custom sword currently sold on Shapeways. The sword is a replica of the Master Sword from the Legend of Zelda series of video games. The designer is Michael Inglis (M1NGLES) who had added just enough detail to keep it within the LEGO aesthetic.

Given that it's Shapeways the pieces you buy are produced via 3D printing techniques. You have a variety of materials that you can choose from. The version shown in Shilo's pic above is made of stainless steel but you can also purchase versions in plastic as well.

I would recommend checking out Michael's store. He doesn't have a lot of items for sale, but what he does have looks quite nice.

Thanks to Shilo for sharing!

Doc Venkman Lays Down the Law

Doc Venkman, the customizer featured by Wired magazine last month, just put up his finished version of Judge Dredd. Several hand sculpted accessories really bring Dredd to life. I think Jas will be a little jealous...

You can see more shots of the entire fig on Doc Venkman's Flickr stream.
