LEGO Collectible Minifigs 6 & 7 – full view!

It was just a couple of months ago when I first reported on the leaked images of the LEGO Series 6 Collectible Minifigures. And now here they are in their full high-resolution glory! And not just Series 6, but also Series 7! Both of these collectible minifigure series are scheduled to be released in 2012, although we will probably see Series 6 by the end of this year. (To see previous releases go here: LEGO Collectible Minifigs.)

LEGO Minifigures Series 6:

In the LEGO Minifigs Series 6 we have (click on the image for a larger view):

  1. Female Skater – LEGO must really like skaters as this is the 3rd one!
  2. Sleepy Boy – in PJs with teddy-bear. “Awww!”
  3. Spacewomanpretty in pink! Even in space! 😀
  4. Roman Soldier – looong overdue! This minifig will be VERY popular!
  5. Robot – with a wind-up key in his back! Really retro!
  6. Celtic Warrior – nice sword!
  7. ButcherI’m a vegetarian, so won’t comment… 😐
  8. Genieand yes, he fits on top of the lamp! Yay!
  9. Leprechaun – very cute! Oh, and he also has a pot of gold!
  10. Flamenco Danceralways nice to have another female fig!
  11. Bandit great to have more badguys too!
  12. Statue of Libertyjust lovely! One of the best figs LEGO ever made!
  13. Mechanic – with groovy hair!
  14. Minotaur – really amazing!
  15. Surgeonnice addition to the nurse from Minifigures Series 1!
  16. Alienthe gray kind! Scariest of all, according to UFO stories!

LEGO Minifigures Series 7:

Having a high-resolution image of a minifig series so long before the actual release date came as a total surprise! So feast your eyes on this lovely picture of the collectible minifigures Series 7! Let’s see what we got here:

  1. Punk Rockershe can join the male punk-rocker from Series 4!
  2. Aztec Warriortotally awesome!
  3. Scottish Bag-Piper – with man-skirt. 😉
  4. Space Marine – the armor is such a steal from Amazing Armory! 🙄
  5. Hippie – love the hair and the tie-dye shirt!
  6. Black Knight – with devilish red eyes and awesome armor details!
  7. Little Red Riding Hood – so sweet! Nice basket too!
  8. Poseidon – god of the seas!
  9. Office Guy – just your regular friendly nerd.
  10. Wedding Bride – yes, finally a flower-bunch minifigs can hold!
  11. Stunt Driver – red-white-blue suit. Kinda cool.
  12. Female Viking – nice helmet/hair combo!
  13. Tarzan Guy – that torso is going to be so useful!
  14. Bunny-Suit Guy – joins the previous costumed guys!
  15. Female Swimmer – yes, that medal is an accessory, not printed!
  16. Tennis Player – someone to pair-up with the previous tennis player!

All in all I would say I’m extremely pleased with these upcoming series of LEGO Collectible Minifigures! Some of them fit into my theory of giving previously released minifigs matching partner(s) or opponent(s) – like the tennis player and the punk rocker. And there are some really amazing surprises here as well! I can’t wait for 2012! Oh, wait; the world supposed to end next year. But at least I will have my favorite toys! 😀

Feelin’ the Sixties with the LEGO VW Camper!

Blast back to 1962 and cruise in psychedelic style! From all the LEGO sets currently available one of my favorites is the #10220 LEGO VW Camper. LEGO did an excellent job recreating many of the fun and unique details of the iconic hippie-bus. In fact, this set is officially licensed by Volkswagen. 😛

The LEGO Volkswagen Camper would appeal not just to LEGO fans, but also to anyone from the baby-boomer generation who likely either owned, or at least took a cross-country trip in one of these babies. (Read more and see photos of the development of the original Volkswagen Camper here: Volkswagen T1 Camper.)

Here is the official description of the LEGO VW Camper:

“This authentic camper van is a replica of the classic Volkswagen Camper Van from 1962. Every iconic feature is here! On the outside, the terrific detailing includes ‘V’ shape three-way color split at the front, rounded roof and window frames, opening ‘splittie’ safari windshield, opening doors, iconic pop-up roof with textile curtain surround, roof rack, rear side air intake vents and lots more!

The detailing is equally impressive on the inside, from the authentic VW air-cooled flat four cylinder boxer engine, front cabin bench seat, gear stick, angled dashboard and iconic spherical speedometer, to custom LEGO features like folding rear bench seat, folding dinette table, closet with mirror and even a painting!”

To fully appreciate the challenges LEGO designers faced while trying to recreate the curves and details of the original VW camper with LEGO bricks, check out this video:

Some further details of the LEGO VW Camper:

  • Features 11 windows, authentic plaid-print textile curtains and wing-mirror!
  • Rear door opens to reveal detailed engine!
  • Interior features rear bench-seat that transforms into a bed, “Make LEGO Models, Not War” T-shirt and rear shelf with marijuana plant! 8)
  • Measures 11.8″ (30cm) long and 5.5″ (14cm) high!

And if you are curious about the building-experience of the LEGO VW Camper, watch this time-lapse video!

The #10220 LEGO Volkswagen Camper is currently available at LEGO’s online shop: LEGO VW Camper. And in the month of October you will also receive double VIP points, as well as free shipping! Oh, and a free holiday gift-set too! 😀
