October starts next week and Toys R Us stores will have their annual Bricktober promotion. FBTB reports for Bricktober 2013, there will be three exclusive 5-pack Minifigure Collections available during the month. There’s no word on how much you have to spend to get the specific collection for each week. If it’s the same as last year, you will have to spend $59.99 or more to get it. Also note that there are only three collections available this year instead of four. We’re not sure if there will be anything available for the fourth week of October.
Toys R Us Canada will also be having Bricktober happening at their stores. According to their site, there will be various things happening starting this Friday.

Wow. These minfigures are all over the place. Not really retro yet not quite new either. It is neat seeing what appears to be Majisto the Magician in the third box all the way to the right only more detailed. I don’t know what the chef is so stern about with that face of his. Guess he burnt the bacon. 😉
The middle box has a very rare torso with the woman in the white dress as that top is the bride’s torso from the Town Hall set making this the only other item with it! Neat items but not exactly ‘must have’s for me.
What’s disappointing to me about the choice of figures is pretty much every one of the pieces used here are ones that have been available in the build-a-minifig towers in Lego stores for the last 18 months.
4th week is a collector’s box. 3 by 5 rectangle shape plastic box with see thru Windows
