[NEW STUFF] Collectible Minifigures Series 4

[Mofo Jones]

The bio-hazard guy is a custom decal away from a hazard suit from Half-Life. Swap out the heads, add some hair and a crowbar and voila, Gordon Freeman.

It could also be a custom Dave Bowman from 2001.

I agree with Chief and onions, this is the best series so far. I haven't even seen Series 3 at retail yet.

[GrayMattR]

Pretty sure this will be the first series where I get all but two or three of the figs. I don't need more vikings and I'm not sure about the sailor or artist but the rest are all winners. Let's hope for even higher production runs than series 3 and multiple stores carrying them.

I haven't seen much comment on the guitar or Mohawk. If anything, those are the two elements I want the most.

I can't wait to use that mohawk and the hazmat suit in some sweet Fallout MOCs!

I couldn't agree more... I'm already thinking Mad Max Moc's.

[that guy]

I just got confirmation that they will sell for the same price as series 3 (at least on a wholesale level) so that's at least some good news. I guess now we just wait and see what happens to pricing on S5.

Eurobricks has some high-resolution pictures.

That hazmat suit is my favorite figure out of the entire collectible minifig idea, I love it.

How could anyone not want at LEAST a half-dozen of those?

[TheBohrok]

...just look at that skateboarder. Look how handsome he is, dashing, debonair. Quite simply the best minifigure to date.

I can definitely see the resemblance.

[cas]

The skateboarder is handsome. It's nice to know I'll finally be able to put together a minifigure that actually looks like me.

[swe3t23]

when do these come out. I talked to the cashier lady at the lego store and said summer they will get them.

I do believe this is the best series yet. i gotta get at least two rocker dude and skateboarder.

[that guy]

Technical release date is May although I'm sure some retailers will have them sooner.

[SonOfSolo]

These are popping up more and more on ebay. Anyone here have them yet???

*EDIT*

LEGO store calendar has the release as April 15th. Also parts from Series 1 will be available through the Build A Mini in-stores...? Hope they have several hundred zombie heads.

[MicroJow]

I was hoping that Target would put these minifigures in the Easter section (since Series 2 was in the Christmas section and Series 3 was in the Valentine's Day section) but I didn't see shelf tags for them at any of the Targets I visited yesterday. There were shelf tags for the polybagged AT-ST mini, a Fire Chief set, and a Ninjago set.

Still seems a likely place for them to pop up, tho...

Where did this news come from? Did i miss something?

Click for bigger, orange bit toward the bottom:


I love it when the closest Lego store is literally 400 miles away. Saves me money!

[Mister Ed]

If they are doing THAT, they have even less excuse now for refusing to replace missing/defective parts of minifigs.

[cowbug]

Wow, I did miss something, thanks Cas.

[MicroJow]

Looks like they're turning up in some Toys-R-Us'es (Illinois, Georgia & Washington)! Here's some info to help you track them down:

The UPC number for Series 4 is 673419144995

The Toys-R-Us SKU for Series 4 is 578074

The Target DPCI for Series 4 is 204 00 0463

Note: No one has reported finding them at Target yet. I stopped off at Target and had them run the UPC number. Series 4 is in their system (hence the DPCI number) but they don't have them in their warehouses or distribution centers yet. Give 'em about two weeks to start trickling into Targets.

Good luck, everyone!
