LEGO Mixels Series 7 review & details

At the beginning of the month I forgot to mention that the Series 7 of the LEGO Mixels characters is now available. LEGO Mixels are fun little characters worth collecting, but what it even more interesting to LEGO fans is that the sets are full of very useful and interesting elements. So let’s what we got this time in the latest LEGO Mixels series. 🙂

LEGO Mixels Series 7

As far as the characters, we have Kuffs, Busto and Tiketz in the MCPD Tribe. The color-scheme is blue, white, black and gray – all standard colors that can work in a variety of LEGO creations. LEGO Mixels is a great way to get those new small ball-hinges and rounded slopes, and here we also get a good number of both. Also these little guys have lots of teeth! We get 1×2 plates with 3 small teeth, and 1×2 tiles with one big and one small tooth, and most interestingly, a brand new rounded 1×1 tile piece which also serves as teeth here. This piece is going to be very useful for decorations on buildings, for mosaics, and other creative applications. So far the piece is only available in white, but I’m sure more color choices will come soon.

The Medivals LEGO Mixels tribe include Camillot, Mixadel and Paladum. Gray, brown and gold are also very useful colors, especially if you are into castle or steampunk building. We get a few masonry bricks here – which are still fairly new, and always very welcome. Note that Paladum has four of those rounded 1×1 tile pieces (and one extra), so if you want to try out this part, this is a great Mixels character to get.

The Mixies is a musical tribe including Jamzy, Tapsy, and Trumpsy. I think from the three current tribes these guys are the cutest – and brightest too – with their yellow and purple color-combination. Tapsy comes with a nicely printed dish piece, and Trumpsy got four of the new 1×1 rounded tiles (and one extra). So this is another excellent set to get if you would like more of this new tile piece. In the video-player below I have included for you reviews of all three tribes.

And just like with previous LEGO Mixels series, you can also build larger LEGO Mixels Max characters, combining the three members of each tribe (see the last video-review above of the Max characters). LEGO has been also offering building instructions for other creative mix-ups of the characters at the official LEGO Mixels website. If you like to play around with these little guys, you might want to check those out. Also notice that the Nixels (the little black devilish guys) have new face prints in the MCPD and the Mixies Tribes!

LEGO Mixels Series 7 and More

Whether you collect LEGO Mixels, or just get specific ones for parts, Series 7 doesn’t disappoint. The packs are only $4.99 each, so they won’t break the bank even if you get the full series. LEGO Mixels Series 7 is currently available – along with some of the previous LEGO Mixels characters – at the LEGO Mixels section of the Online LEGO Shop.

The best LEGO podcasts for LEGO fans

When building a new LEGO set (especially large ones), or when sorting LEGO, most LEGO fans like listening to something. Of course you can put on some music, but even better is listening to a LEGO podcast. There are actually very few dedicated LEGO podcasts around, but there are couple of them that are really excellent and worth listening following. See below. 🙂

LEGO Podcast List

ALL SORTED LEGO PODCAST: All Sorted is a LEGO podcast by two Canadian stay-at-home dads, Jeff and James. The two of them actually run three podcasts. Breaking Dads is about parenting with new episodes every Monday. Epic Gumdrop is about tabletop and video gaming with new episodes every Friday. And All Sorted is of course about LEGO with new episodes every Wednesday. The LEGO related subjects are well researched by Jeff and James, so they are very interesting and engaging. Each episode is about 20-30 minutes long. So far 37 episodes have been released, and they are still going strong. You can listen to the episodes on YouTube and iTunes. I have included the YouTube playlist below with all the podcast episodes. You can also visit their website at BreakingDads.com for show-notes and other interesting information about each episode.

BEYOND THE BRICK LEGO PODCAST: Started in 2011 by Joshua Hanlon and Matthew Kay, Beyond the Bricks focuses on interviews with the world’s best LEGO builders in their weekly podcast. They also cover some of the top LEGO conventions and other events, but those you actually have to watch to get the full benefit. The podcast interviews also have some visual, but it is basically just watching people talking with an occasional image of the LEGO creations of the person being interviewed. Each episode is about 30-60 minutes long. Joshua and Matthew are well respected within the LEGO fan community, and they have done over 150 podcast interviews at the time of this writing. You can only listen to the podcasts on YouTube. I have included the YouTube playlist below with all the podcast episodes.

These two podcasts should give you plenty to listen to while building or sorting your LEGO. I hope you enjoy the episodes. And if there are any other LEGO podcasts that you enjoy would recommend, feel free to list them in the comment section below! 😉
