I’m sick and sniffly so I apologise but I just wanted to talk about a bunch of bootleg LEGO minifigures from China! Hope you enjoy!

All of these minifigures were bought on Ali Express.

When there’s cool nostalgic toys that you need reviewed; Who ya gonna call? Yes, ladies and gentleman, Mint in Box is proud to present the largest LEGO ever reviewed on this website and for a franchise that is near and dear to so many hears; Ghostbusters.

So power up the proton packs and get ready to bust some ghosts with our video review!

The set consists of a 4,634 piece three-story Firehouse Headquarters featuring containment unit, lab, living quarters, 9 minifigures, Slimer and more. It currently retails for £274.99 and is available in-store at most LEGO brand stores or online via their website, which can be found here.

I have to say that building makes me feel good and this experience has been amazing! I loved making this review and I was excited to be a part of it! Be sure to like, comment, and subscribe and I’ll catch you guys next time on Mint in Box!

I began collecting LEGO Minifigures a loooooong time ago now and my collection is quite substantial so whenever a new series comes out, I find myself just picking and choosing the ones I like (Animal Suits being my bread and butter).

Luckily, LEGO have got my back and have sent a small selection of blind bags for me to open for you lovely peeps. Let’s crack them open!

Starting off mediocre with the Queen. Royalty holds no real interest for me but it’s neat that her dress piece is brand new and she could make a nice companion piece for the Classic King from Series 13.

Next up is the Janitor! He reminds me of Scruffy from Futurama and, surprisingly, he has a new piece in the form of the mop piece. It doesn’t really stay on the pole piece very well but that may just be my version.

The Frightening Knight appears from the depths of history to strike fear into the hearts of his enemies. Maybe it’s because I’ve been on a Nexo Knights kick recently but I can definitely see some modding potential here to make some ‘dark’ Nexo Knights.

Hailing from and made of Parts Unknown; it’s the Wrestling Champion! I love the Shark Suit Guy (who I already bought before this review) but this guy is just as awesome. He’s like a mash-up of the Ultimate Warrior and Sting and he’s got something that no other LEGO minifigure has ever had; a mullet. LEGO made a mullet hair piece, just for this guy. That’s amazing!

Every series of collectable minifigures comes down to personal taste but at the very least, with 16 characters and an affordable price point of £2.49, there’s a little something for everyone here.

I return with more Series 12 Minifigures and a catastrophic camera mishap. Will I survive? Watch the video to find out!

Previous LEGO Minifigures Series 12 blind opening can be found here.

First up, I might as well throw up the new trailer that Warner Bros. put out. It’s looking just as fun as the original trailer made it out to be.

Look out for that coming in February 2014!

The LEGO Movie is going to have a whopping 14 sets released to coincide with the movie in 2014 as well the 12th Series of the Collectable Minifigures being comprised solely of characters in the movie.

Just like any other Minifigure Series, this one has a nice variety to it, incorporating elements we’ve seen before with all new pieces.

• William Shakespeare
• Gail the Construction Worker
• Panda Guy
• Abraham Lincoln
• Taco Tuesday Guy
• Larry the Barista
• President Business
• Calamity Drone
• Marsha Queen of the Mermaids
• Wild West Wyldstyle
• Scribbe-Face Bad Cop
• Velma Staplebot
• Hard Hat Emmet
• “Where are my Pants?” Guy
• Mrs. Scratchen-Post
• Wiley Fusebot.

There’s already so many instant favourites in this series.

As for main sets, only a couple have been shown through official images as of time of writing. Here’s my thoughts on them!

The Super Cycle Chase features the motorcycle that is in quite a lot of the trailers and on the cover of the videogame so it’s a definitive set to have for me.

The Cloud Cuckoo Palace is the home of Uni-Kitty (voiced by Community and Mad Men star Alison Brie) is immensely weird. It’s combination of white and pastel colours should make for a cutesy set but between Emmet’s expression, the presence of a robot minion and the absolutely DERANGED look on Uni-Kitty’s face, I’m thinking this may be one of the darker moments of the film. Or I could be completely wrong and Uni-Kitty is an ally but still. That face. That cold… unblinking… stare.

Lord Business’ Evil Lair looks to be one of the larger sets of the line, and I’m not just talking about his giant platform shoes!  I have no context for whatever scene in the movie this is based on but boy, it looks like some crazy stuff. There’s some sort of super glue tube being squeezed by a claw and two cops being blasted by the glue. There’s a luchadore imprisoned and there’s that Uni-Kitty again, only this time wearing glasses and a tie! I really like how ludicrous Lord Business is, as well.

Metalbeard’s Duel features the hulking pirate against some sort of evil robot dubbed a Micro Manager. There’s some other minifigs in the set too but the big draw is obviously two massive mecha duking it out!
That’s all I really have to show you guys for the moment but more and more sets are being revealed as we inch closer to the movie’s release so I hope this whets your appetite for the upcoming movie and the toyline.

Do you like Thundercats? Do you like blind bags? Do you like Alan Rickman impressions? Then I’ve got the video for you!
