LEGO Minifigure Factory Review

LEGO Minifigure Factory

Last week, LEGO announced that the LEGO Minifigure Factory has returned to the LEGO Shop after launching the beta for it a few years back. Here you can personalize your own LEGO character, sigfig if you will, for a price of $11.99 per minifigure. LEGO recently gave us an opportunity to check out the new additions to the system including more heads, bodies, and accessories.

During the process of making your character, you can choose from a wide combination of head, headwear, torso, legs, and accessories. The torso has more details that you can choose from such as the clothing, decorations, and text. For the clothing, you can pick from solid, plain, patterns, or outfits. The outfits have more stylized options that you can choose from. You are able to design the torso on the back as well with the same options.

One thing I noticed when designing the back of my minifigure is that the coloring on the physical minifigure is a little darker than what you see on screen. As you can see below, I personalized the back of the torso and it seems fine on screen but when I look at it in hand, you can barely see the letters. I had to super zoom in on the minifigure to try to make out the words. I would suggest if you’re using a darker torso color, use bright letter. You can also see some issues with the pad printing with the minor scratches.

LEGO March 2024 Sets Now Available on LEGO Shop

March is now here and there is a plethora of new LEGO sets that have just released on the LEGO Shop. The big theme for March is LEGO Animal Crossing which was one of the more popular announcements last year. Also anticipated to be pretty popular are the new LEGO Star Wars sets with the new midi-scale ships.

For the gift with purchase sets, we have the LEGO Flower Store (40680) with purchases of $200 or more and it runs until March 11 or while supplies last. There’s also a LEGO Friends Beach Clean-up (30635) + LEGO Animal Crossing Maple’s Pumpkin Garden (30662) polybag bundle with purchases of $50 in Animal Crossing, City, Creator 3-in-1, DREAMZzz, or Friends.

For LEGO Insiders, the new LEGO Ninjago Micro Ninjago City (40703) is now available to redeem in the Rewards Center. It’ll cost you 2,700 Insider points and remember there will be four sets in total so it’ll cost you a whopping 10,800 points for the series. Fortunately, it’s less than what China has to spend on them but it still equates to over $1,600 spent to acquire enough points.

LEGO March 2024 Shopping Guide

March is just around the corner and it will be a pretty big month in terms of LEGO releases as it is the third largest of the year. As of right now, there are about 50 new items on the LEGO Shop that will be available from pretty much a majority of the LEGO themes including the highly anticipated Animal Crossing.

As for any gift with purchase sets go, LEGO hasn’t officially announced anything yet although we’ve seen plenty of GWP items such as the Flower Shop (40680) and the LEGO Ninjago Micro Ninjago City (40703) although they haven’t said when they will be released. We’ll just have to wait until the end of this month to see what will be dropping overseas first to see what we’ll be getting.
