LEGO Build a Minifigure Online Beta Launches for Europe and Asia

April 13, 2022 / Allen "Tormentalous" Tran / 0 Comments

If you’re in Europe or in the Asia Pacific regions, you are the first ones to be able to do a beta test of the new online LEGO Build a Minifigure feature on the LEGO Shop. You can either pick and choose the parts for your three minifigures or you can completely randomize it. The part selection is still fairly limited and hopefully more will be added in the future. The minimum you get is three for the price of £5.97 and £1.99 will be added for additional minifigures.

As stated before, this is just a beta and the LEGO Pick a Brick team will be gathering insight and feedback over the next few weeks. Hopefully it works well enough to expand the feature to other regions later on.
