Also a Fan of the Polybags

After a few weeks of neglecting my collection, I was finally able to buy some new minifigs.  The last minifig I bought came in a polybag.  That is why I bought myself some more polybags.  The polybag is proving to be a cheaper way to collect minifigures.

The new additions to my minfig collection came from three polybags, the 30310 Arctic Scout, the 30111 The Lab, and the 30302 Spider-Man Glider.

The 30310 Arctic Scout is part of the Lego City theme with an Arctic subtheme.  The polybag contains the Arctic Scout minifigure and a small mini-plane.  This is my first minifig from the City theme.  The minifig is quite nice with the helmet that has a removable visor.  The mini-plane is not that great since the build feels a little fragile, but it does have some nice components.

The 30111 The Lab is a polybag set from the Harry Potter theme.  The polybag contains a Harry Potter minifigure and a cabinet of potion bottles.  This is my first Harry Potter minifig.  The minifigure is a nice additon to my collection since it is a very popular character.  As for the other contents of the polybag, I'm not as excited.  The potion bottles could probably be useful when I start making MOCs.

The 30302 Spider-Man Glider is part of the Lego Marvel Super Heroes theme.  The polybag includes a Spider-Man minifigure and a glider.  With Batman as my favorite DC superhero, Spider-man is my favorite superhero from Marvel.  So, I'm quite excited to have this minifig.  As for the glider, it is a different story.  I think Lego could have created a better-looking glider.

I hope Lego releases more polybags in the future.  I will definitely be on the look-out for those polybags.

To Review or Not To Review

Before I started this blog, I had to think a lot whether to do reviews or not.  Then, there was the question of whether to review both sets and minifigures.  Reviewing only minifigures would be in-line with the main topic of this blog which is collecting minifigures.  However, I do buy Lego sets to get specific minifigs, and the cost of the set does affect the overall worth of the minifig.  I might just as well include a review of the set.

So, the question now is when do I do my first review.  Writing a review would be a lot more "work" than simply chronicling the latest minifigure additions to my collection.

From Blind Packs to the Polybags

Buying the Lego Minifigures series blind packs in my opinion is the cheapest way to collect minifigs.  Another cheap way to collect minifigs is buying the minifigure polybags.  The advantage of buying the polybags is that the polybags provide a way to buy the minifigures that are part of the licensed themes.  The polybags are basically like mini sets.  Most of the polybags have a minifigure with some small vehicle or some small equipment also included.

When I bought the Lego Minifigures Series 6 set the other day, I also bought the Lego The Lone Ranger polybag 30260 Lone Ranger's Pump Car.  The polybag included a Lone Ranger minifigure and a small pump car.  This is my first minifigure from the The Lone Ranger theme.  As for the pump car, I don't know if it will fit on the train tracks that come with Lego train sets.

I hope to buy more polybags in the future to add more minifigures from the different Lego themes.
