Minifigures Series 25 71045 Toy Minifgure Building Set
Product Details
Web ID: 17294587Boxes are no fun
For the price these blind boxes are not worth it. The boxes take all the fun out of feeling for a figure. At least when you had the bags you knew you were getting something close to what you want or that you probably weren’t getting a duplicate. These boxes are pure luck and even then people weigh them or interpret the codes so the rest of us are at their mercy. This was a really bad idea and I’ve chosen to no longer buy these boxed mini figs and instead buy only specific ones from the secondary market.

Fun to play with but waste of money
So I basically ordered LEGO Minifigures Series 25 off of eBay, I love the figures and it was fun to play and build with and put into my LEGO sets but the amount of pieces missing in the minifigures was absurd and I felt like LEGO scammed me. I was missing the Detective’s fish, Pet Groomer’s scissors, Mushroom Girl’s butterfly, Goatherd’s goat and staff, Harpy’s wings and Sprinter’s medal. Do not risk your money on this product. I don’t know if this happened because of the seller who was selling the minifigures or was it just LEGO being ridiculous.

Really disappointed...
Friends and family and I have always loved the blind bag figures. It was always a fun adventure to go to the stores and feel the blind bags to try and complete the minifig set. Testing ourselves and our skills for deciphering the props and accessories was a lot of fun. The new packaging is awful and takes all of the joy out of collecting the sets. This will ruin the fun we have had and ruin new memories. This feels like just a way to increase profits by making people spend more and more to find the figures they want. Lego sets are already expensive and this seems like an insult to loyal customers who already spend a great deal of money on full sets. VERY VERY disappointed in Lego for this. PLEASE bring back the bags.

Don’t you want more business?
The quality of minifigures rarely disappoints, but the sales model leaves a lot to be desired. From recent experience, I knew it was risky to buy very many minifigures. I bought four, and got three duplicates. Seriously? If I had any level of confidence that at most I would get two duplicates of any given minifig, I would’ve bought 20. I understand the point of these individual sales is more sales, at the risk of receiving duplicates, and LEGO’s expectation is that people will buy more in the hopes of getting what they want, eventually. But you’re losing business from folks who aren’t that motivated. I used to buy four or more of the six pack boxes, but that has turned into a disaster and I won’t be buying those again until it’s clear the current duplicate box problem has been solved. Does LEGO care about the negative experience its customers are having?

Bring Back the Blind Bags!
I'm a pretty hardcore Lego fan, but never in my life did I think I would write a negative review here. I love Lego, to a point where I correct my friends when they say 'Legos' where even in plural form should be 'Lego'. What I don't love, is how the seasonal, traditional, Minifigures Series went from exciting, nostalgic, mysterious, blind plastic bags to dull, boring, and uninteresting blind paper boxes. Feeling for which minifigure is inside was the beauty of this item, now there is no way to find out and you are giving us no choice but to pay more for duplicates! This is really discouraging and make me lose total interest for the series. Hear us fans out and bring back the original bags please! Respectfully,

Disappointing
I ordered two of these from this website in the same order and both ended up being the same minifigure. (The same thing happened with the new Space minifigure set too! Very frustrating!) Of the 12 in this series, there were 3 I really wanted, 3 I didn't want at all, and 6 I would have been satisfied with. I mention this because I feel the variety of this pack is too diverse. I would like to see a stronger theme to these packs (like they had for the Marvel characters) so you know you're getting at least something close to what you hoped for. Although I got 2 of the minifig I didn't want at all, I can say the quality is fine and for a single minifig, the build experience was average. It included a few extra pieces of the smaller bits, so that was appreciated.

Incredible Ripoff
Ordered 6 of these and they were not sorted at all at the distribution center, got 3 of 2 different figures each. Put them in boxes sure but at least have some quality control on randomization.

Nice variety
I learned about the QR code scanner after I had completed the set, with a few duplicates. Otherwise, this series has a good variety of themes in it. The only thing that I would like to see is a full medieval/fantasy series.
