How To Expand Your LEGO Mini Figure Collection
There are several great ways to expand your LEGO mini figures collection. Buying new LEGO sets that contain mini figures, browsing garage sales, surfing ebay, and using LEGO parts to create new figures are some great ways to grow your collection.
If you have some extra cash, buying new LEGO sets containing mini figures is an easy option. While this method can be the most expensive, it assures you of getting the latest additions to the LEGO family. LEGO sets are available online at www.lego.com as well as most toy retailers.
Short on cash at the moment? Check out some local garage sales or thrift stores. You may have to dig through a lot of bricks to find your LEGO figures or you may have to buy them with a lot of extra bricks but they are there for the dedicated hunter. This can be a great way to save money and find some great figures. Be sure to check the pieces carefully before purchase (no refunds here) and clean them well before adding them to your collection.
Is web surfing more your style than thrift store browsing? If that case, www.ebay.com is a great source for mini figures. You can usually find a wide selection of new items as well as older, hard to find LEGO figures. The down side of ebay is that shipping can be expensive depending on the seller. Sometimes your shipping costs will exceed the cost of your figure. However, if you are looking for a specific figure this is probably the quickest way to acquire it.
Would you like to have some really unique additions to your collection? Make your own LEGO mini figure! Shop by “pick a brick” at www.lego.com Here you can buy individual heads, upper and lower bodies, wigs, and accessories for your figures. You can customize the LEGO figures you already own, or start from scratch and make your own LEGO creations.
There are great LEGO mini figures out there just waiting to join your collection. So, what are you waiting for? Start looking for them!
