lol username Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 This isn't much news for LEGO Minifigures Online beta testers, as all but the Battle Goddess are already in-game, but check this out: http://legojapan.seesaa.net/article/398358235.html Six of the 16 minifigures from Series 12: The Space Miner, Wizard, Dino Hunter, Battle Goddess, Swashbuckler, and Gamer. Here's a tip: The first five minifigures here are representatives of the first five worlds in the MMO (though not in the correct order), and the Gamer is the MMO's overall mascot.

Oboe Shoes Posted May 31, 2014 Share Posted May 31, 2014 Are there any in-game images of the rest floating around? It'd be nice to see them. Anyway, I'm liking that pseudo-Rock Raiders feel to the Space Miner's motif, though I'm not really digging the short-sleeve graphic that's been showing up lately. Something about it doesn't really look right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Seaborgium Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 The pieces look interesting. I do however detect some filler figs. Not bad in and of themselves, but clearly repeats. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steel Posted June 1, 2014 Share Posted June 1, 2014 These figs actually look pretty cool. I'm hoping that the other 10 look just as cool and that this isn't just the highlight reel. 1derful 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

emily Posted July 26, 2014 Share Posted July 26, 2014 I wonder if it is too much to hope for the Pizza Guy's hat to say "Brickolini's Pizza." At the moment it's too indistinct to make out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably not. I bet that the length would make the word look bad on the hat, or it would make the "pizza" below it look stretched out. It would be cool, though.

eagleeyedan Posted July 28, 2014 Share Posted July 28, 2014 Finally, a male lifeguard. As a lifeguard myself, I've been waiting for a male minifig for a long time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oboe Shoes Posted July 30, 2014 Share Posted July 30, 2014 You can find this by clicking through a few pages of the thread Jamesster linked to, but I'll display the full image here for convenience. Overall, I like this series. The Genie Girl, Space Miner, and Spooky Girl are the ones I'll probably go out of my way to get. The rest are overall pretty nice. Pizza Guy has a new pizza print, and the Rock Star looks pretty good, even if he reuses the Rocker Girl hair. The Hun's hat really shouldn't have horns, though. aidenpons, Quisoves Potoo, The Ace Railgun and 1 other 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lol username Posted August 27, 2014 Author Share Posted August 27, 2014 http://www.playminifigures.com/en/news/series-12-minifigures-revealed In the game: The Fairytale Princess loves her frogs. In combat she can send frogs after those who displeases her or even summon a mystical frog tornado. A frognado! Frognado. The Space Miner has worked some of the toughest, dirtiest, and most dangerous jobs that the galaxy has to offer. He’s drilled for high-yield Brickonium energy crystals deep beneath the crust of Planet U, and plumbed the frozen caverns of Krysto-2002 to find the source of a swarm of ice meteorites that were pelting the Earth’s polar regions.Rock Raiders, Ice Planet 2002, and Arctic all in one go. Whoever writes these: I like you. You never know when wild dinosaurs might pop through a time portal or escape from a crazy scientist’s lab. When pesky prehistoric reptiles go on a rampage, there’s only one person you need to call: the daring and dauntless Dino Tracker!Mmmmmaaaaaybe references to final Alpha Team 2004 comics, and mmmmmaaaaybe Dino Attack or something else I'm missing? Who’s that at the door? It’s the friendly neighborhood Pizza Delivery Man! As the newest delivery guy at Papa Brickolini’s Pizzeria, he’s still got a lot to learn. He had no idea that carrying piping hot pizzas all around town required so many different job skills! Not only does he have to ride his bike from house to house, but sometimes he needs to use a skateboard or a jetski, and once he even ended up in a high-speed car chase after a brick-stealing burglar for some reason that he still isn’t sure about. All that, and he still has to deliver his pizzas on time, every time! In the game: The Pizza Delivery Man does not only love pizza, but he can drown anyone else in pizza as well. He can attack monsters with pizzas to the face or even make pizzas rain down from the sky! I love everything about this.

Fush Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 He’s drilled for high-yield Brickonium energy crystals deep beneath the crust of Planet U Confirmed: Space Miner was a Rock Raider. once he even ended up in a high-speed car chase after a brick-stealing burglar for some reason that he still isn’t sure about. This amused me, even if I haven't played any of the LI series and thus don't get the reference. Also, from the Gamer's bio Although he’s played every kind of video game that you could name, the Video Game Guy’s favorites are the classics. There’s just something about those clunky old 8-bit graphics and those bleeping, blooping tunes that really gets his gamer adrenaline racing. Plus, it’s way easier to get the high score when nobody else remembers how to play!>is holding what most closely resembles a 360 controller. aidenpons 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Ace Railgun Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Frognado. Enough said Mmmmmaaaaaybe references to final Alpha Team 2004 comics, and mmmmmaaaaybe Dino Attack or something else I'm missing? Jurassic Park reference maybe? You never know when wild dinosaurs might pop through a time portal This is either a Doctor Who reference, or a SwatKats reference. The Rock Star rose to rock stardom with his mega-hit song, “Brick Wall Baby.†The record went platinum right away, but that just wasn’t hard enough for him, so he had it recast in titanium carbide. Hahaha I think that this is the first set that I want all of, they look a lot more interesting (imo) than some of the past collectable minifigs.

BobaFett2 Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 Sooooooo many awesome references. If only they weren't made out of cheaper plastic, I would consider buying them...if you're like me, the differences, no matter how slight, are a source of endless irritation.

Fush Posted August 27, 2014 Share Posted August 27, 2014 cheaper plastic You keep saying that, but I've never heard about it. Do you have a source? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ProfessorBrickkeeper Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 cheaper plastic You keep saying that, but I've never heard about it. Do you have a source? It's been known for quite some time that the complex components and elements or some purely minifigure-based set production is done in the Chinese LEGO production facility. If my understanding of the topic is correct, I believe that due to Chinese regulations regarding importing of production materials, the Chinese LEGO facility is forced to use a Chinese-produced alternative to the standard ABS plastic that are used in all the other LEGO factories. This ABS plastic alternative has visibly lower quality when compared directly to ABS LEGO elements, primarily minifigure parts. Some distinguishing features of this plastic used to identify it are the fact that when seen in bright light, it appears slightly translucent, the minifigure torso neck lacks any marks used to help the production machines tell the sides of the torso apart, and the inside of the foot lacking any LEGO copyright information. If you want some more info, I would suggest you check out some of the links below: http://brickset.com/article/2332 http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=50275 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emily Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 Aw man, this made my day. Pretty sure it's Jeff James that writes the minifig bios, don't quote me on that, though. He's been a writer at LEGO for a long time, and obviously has a lot of affection for 90s-early 2000s themes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oboe Shoes Posted August 28, 2014 Share Posted August 28, 2014 For what it's worth, I just thoroughly checked over my collectable minifigs and compared them to standard ones, and the difference is almost negligible. I'm usually pretty OCD about such things, but the quality isn't really all that much different. I can post pictures if you want, but from the only real noticeable differences are the lack of an indicator mark on the neck, the different production codes inside the legs, and an overall lesser amount of sheen. I looked at them with a bright light focused on them, but I could not pick out any Chinese figures that began to look translucent. The inside of the feet do lack a copyright stamp, however, said stamp only appears to be in newer standard minifigs. I checked a few figures I had on hand from the late 80's to mid 2000's, and they were also missing the copyright info, it only seems to be present in non-Chinese minifigs made in the last few years. All in all, there is some noticeable difference, but I honestly wouldn't let it stop you from getting one of these if you really like it.
