LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 17 (71018)

It looks like the Series 17 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71018) have started to show up at Walmart stores early on the east coast. One of the people who have found them in stores is Brick Revolution who found a case in the LEGO aisle. The official release date for this wave is May 1.

Coincidentally, LEGO has released a new teaser video showing off the Highwayman minifigure which is still supposed to be a “secret” but he has already been found and revealed at LEGOLAND Billund.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 17 (71018) Highwayman Revealed

It looks like the Series 17 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71018) have started to show up early in some places and we have a first look at the secret Highwayman minifigure that is included with wave. A user named lego_collector_dad has gotten a hold of the Highwayman at LEGOLAND Billund and he shown off the minifigure over on his Instagram page.

He has a black torso with dual molded legs. To complete the look he has a tricorn hat with a bandana, and a cape. The accessories include two Flintlock pistols. I’m not sure of all the secrecy behind it but he appears to be a fairly generic character.

LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 17 (71018) Feel Guide

The Series 17 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71018) were revealed yesterday at the 2017 New York Toy Fair. Although there are no names for the characters announced yet, the folks over at Eurobricks has put out what seems to be the official names of the characters.

Back row: Surfer Boy, Gourmet Chef, Hot Dog Vendor, Elf Maiden, Circus Strongman, Yuppie, Veterinarian, Highwayman

Front row: Connoisseur, Butterfly Girl, Roman Gladiator, Corn Cob Guy, Retro Space Hero, Dance Instructor, Battle Dwarf, Rocket Boy

As with previous Collectible Minifigure series, I’ve already gotten a few requests for the feel guides I put out for this series and there’s no better time than now to do one. I’ll be using the references from the box image to discuss how to feel for a particular character. Again, some may not need a guide but for those who are interested in one, hopefully this helps.

Surfer Boy: The surfboard is the easiest thing to feel for.

Gourmet Chef: There are quite a few things that make her easy to find including the chef’s hat, pie, and whisk.

Hot Dog Vendor: The curved hot dog and bun pieces are the things that stand out for him.

Elf Maiden: You should feel for the sword piece as it is the easiest thing on the Elf Maiden to find.

Circus Strongman: The new round barbell piece is the only thing you should feel for when finding him.

Yuppie: The easiest thing to feel for is the mobile phone as it has a pretty distinct design.

Veterinarian:Continue

LEGO Shop@Home Retiring Soon List Updated

LEGO has updated their list of “Retiring Soon” sets on Shop@Homeicon. What’s interesting is the Legend of Chima Speedorz sets are the first in the theme to go away because they just came out late 2012/early 2013. We already know that there will be another wave of Chima sets this summer but it seems a little fast to retire these so early. If you’ve been holding off getting them, I’d suggest picking them up as soon as possible.

Update from LEGO:

Just wanted to clarify that there is no mistake on the Friends and Chima items. The Friends Pets and Chima Speedorz are set to refresh on much shorter timelines than most sets.
