My mini-Neymar

Remember this post?

I promised the other mini-figures. It seems I thought I had more but my cousin got the Piqué mini-figure and I got an other Neymar. So I only have one else to show you.

Here. My mini-Neymar in the alternative shirt.

Visca Barcelona

You know those machines to insert a coin and you get a ball with some toy inside!?

I love to collect those!

Even more in this case that was a Barça collection.

It was a collection of mini-figures that, it seems, was released like 2 or 3 years ago.

Here are just 3 of them. I got Neymar too but never a Messi.

The collection had a few players, not all the 11 players that featured the main team back then, but a great touch was the thing of having them in both main shirt and alternative shirt.

Some of the mini-figures come with a base and others come with a ball.

The details are quite good! if you know the players you can see how close the representation is!

Will show the other mini-figures in an other post.

LEGO - minifigures Series 13

Look look! It seems Series 14 is coming out soon but only now I got my hands on some Seres 13 packs!

I know there is the possibility of buying the entire Series on LEGO shop but not only it is quite expensive and I don't have enough space to put all the figures and besides...opening packs and not knowing what is inside is one of the great sensations of collecting.

At least for me.

And so...instead of going to LEGO shop I went to other shop that sells lots of fun stuff including LEGOs to get the packs.

When I asked the seller for 2 packs she asked me in return 'Which minifigures do you want?'

Soooooooooooo I don't know how, probably by the pack item number, they know what is inside each pack and they have them numbered.

Soooooooooooo against all odds I bought the packs already knowing what was inside...

I'm sorry...not sorry.

Maybe I'm starting to change my mind...

 And so I choose the Egyptian Warrior which reminds me of The Mummy, film I loved.

And of course, I could not go without choosing The Sheriff.


The worst part of this is that each pack costs 3.5€ which I think is around 4$. That's too much! After buying these I wanted more but don't know if I managed my budget to accommodate it. That is almost the price of one of the smallest LEGO set box.

LEGO minifigures - Series LEGO Movie

Yep. I got 4 more LEGO packs.

I go them cheaper than the previous two so that's why.

And I think now I won't buy more.

Why?

As I said in previous post, I wanted the Panda and the Bad Cop.

By the first picture you can see I got the Panda!

“I only build in black…and white…and bamboo.”

Look at the detail of the zipper on the back of the Panda Guy!

It's sad that the face is covered with the panda mask because, as you can see in the top picture he's =P at you.

And next I got the Bad Cop "There's still a Good Cop in me somewhere…"

Of course I choose the dark side cop!

I like his smartphone.

And by now I can shut down and relax. Lets see what I got else...

Velma Staplebot “Would you like to make an appointment, or shall I summon the Micromanagers?”

Is she a robot?

The best I like about her is the hair. How splendid is that hair!?

And the last but no the least I present...

Gail the Construction Worker “Wait, I’m confused. Who are we talking about?”

Since I haven't seen the LEGO Movie yet I'm failing to understand the characters...but still they look good and are fun to collect.

But to be honest...There were better LEGO minifigures series already.

LEGO minifigures - Series LEGO Movie

I was ill and I'm still to get better.

That's why the blog stopped being updated...

That and keep the real life going on has been tough.

But! Meanwhile it was my birthday and that's why I got myself two of the new LEGO Minifigures series.

Only two because they are very expensive!

The list of minifigures is interesting, even if I don't get the minifugre with extra legs...

I was aiming for the panda or the cop but I cannot totally complain.

“Four score and twenty bricks ago…”

I got mister Abraham Lincoln!

The beard is connected to the hat so we cannot have him without both. That's a shame...

Next I get the colourful Taco Tuesday Man.

He cames with some chili plate.

“If only it could be Taco Tuesday every day!”

I can still remember when Conan O'Brien mistook Portuguese people for Mexicans. Nothing against Mexicans but Conan should know better if he has Irish ancestors...

I still have to think if I will buy some more packs...At least will try 1 or 2 more but only if I could find it cheaper! Buying it from LEGO store was a pain to my wallet.


Be cool.

LEGO minifigures - More Series 10 packs

I got more packs of Series 10 but some of the figures seem to run away from me and from, like 10 packs, I only got the next 4 I missed yet.

“Why laugh when you can cry?”

I got the Sad Clown who is sad. Who would tell!

“Is this the right purple? It looks a little off…”

Also got the Decorator even if he seems more like the Painter than anything else.

“Give me liberty or give me disassembly!”

The Revolutionary Soldier whom only lacks singing La Marseillaise.

“Ah, the most dangerous game…paintball!”

And finally the Paintball Player who would have a great competitor in the Decorator. Who would win!?


I'm preparing an other collecting figures post, but this time around about Playmobil!

LEGO minifigures - First Series 10 packs

As I said in previous post, I'm showing my first Series 10 packs.

It's fun that LEGO is from Denmark but their products arrive first in USA than in some European countries.

Yep, is the end of the world feeling.

But they arrived! That's all that matters.

And here are the results.

“I’ll be jumping any second now. Yup, any second now.”

Look who's scarred! The Skydiver!

That is a nice touch that someone doing skydiving for the first time would probably feel.

But at least he has a parachute bag. Will it open?

“For the glory of Rome!”

I got two Roman Commander but soon enough I got someone to take care of the duplicated figure.

Even if I don't mind getting more of this.

I want to build a great Rome Empire Army!

“Everything was better back in my day!”

The least interesting figure is the Grandpa.

Sorry all grandpas in the world but as a minifigure to collect is simply boring.

“Surrender or taste defeat!”

To make the Rome army tremble a bit here it is the one and only Warrior Woman!

I know they are from different times but in LEGO everything is possible.

That spear is huge. But the shield is awesome with the eagle.

“I got it! I got it!”

And for last I saved the best.

I got the Baseball Fielder in my first packs! I thought I'd be desperate seeking for it but no.

I think he looks better with the cap turn backwards. But only because he looks less mean.

And yes, the glove is the hand itself. Shame there is no baseball.

LEGO - more minifigures from Series 9

I got more Series 9 packs and here what I got.

“I wonder if I should have turned at Easter Island…”

I got the Mermaid to make some company to my Ocean King.

Until now I didn't find any little mermaids swimming around them.

“Thank you so much! I couldn’t have done it without all of you!”

And look what I also got! Finally I got the Hollywood Starlet that for me is Marilyn Monroe and don't need to talk more about it.

The little Oscar is quite cute.

“I’ve got my eye on you.”

And since I haven't shown yet the Cyclops I'm showing it now. I already had one but I don't mind getting other.

It's not possible to see in the photo but the head has two different eyes in each side. The thing is that with the 'horn hat' it hides the difference between them a bit.


I already have some packs from the Series 10 that I'll post later. Keep tuned.

LEGO - more minifigures

My parents know the child in me and so they get me some LEGO packs sometimes.

And what are adults than children that forgot!?

And since I have a good memory I keep the child in me pretty much alive.

So they got me 5 packs to open.

 “Smash, mash, and destroy!”

I got 2 Alien Avenger so I'm only showing 1.

It looks quite nice with the weapon and the futuristic armor. Shame that with the armor on we cannot see the 'cloths' which have lots of details.

“To the rescue – go!”

And right after the Alien I get the Battle Mech!

I thought I had lost something in the pack but no. The Mech does not have a weapon. So he fights with the fists and kicking some bad guys butt!

The same thought goes to the Mech armor and the way it hides great details of the minifigure body.

This really put a smile on my face because it made me remind the old Japanese series with ninjas and Mechs. The ones prior Americans start doing the Power Rangers.

Good ol' times.

“I’ll be the judge of that!”

And to put some order in the house I also got the Judge.

The wig is fun because I thought it would be harder like the hair or helmet the minifigures usual have but no. It is quite soft and malleble.

And I think that if the Alien see the Judge hammer he might as well run off.

“Gotcha!”

And to go with the Judge, like the Mech go with the Alien, I got the Policeman!

Sweet!

The photo is a bit dark so you might not see the 'cloths' but they have all the details. Like the pen in the shirt pocket.

I haven't tried the handcuffs on the minifigure but I think they will fit!


I've learned in the official site that the Series 10 is already out.

Looking nice! Specially this minifigure:

“I got it! I got it!”

The Baseball Fielder!

The glove looks like a real one! I'm just thinking if the glove is put on the hand or it is the hand? It looks like it is the hand.

In Series 3 theres was also a Baseball Player but it has the bat.

“Let’s get out there and give ‘em a great game!”

Here in Portugal I haven't seen the new Series 10 yet. But I intend to pass by the LEGO store and see if they already have it.

I'm aiming for the outfielder!
