2023 is off to a great start as the BaM (build a minifigure) Station introduces an eclectic mix of new parts and characters. The BaM station is fast becoming the place to grab these exciting LEGO characters and on quite a regular basis too!
The last lot that were available focused were Festive-themed and included a Mrs Claus, Gingerbread Lady, and a Guitar playing Boy in a Christmas jumper. Check them out here.
Thankfully my local store isn’t too far and I can pop in a few times during the month to check if new parts have been added, also joining several LEGO related Facebook Groups does help with keeping up-to-date with what is available. The new BaM characters have been released and are available in most stores Worldwide. We have given them random and made-up names so it’s easier to identify them, also the accessories can be switched for any you like. Here is a closer look at them:

As you can see there have been quite a few characters added to the BaM lineup, with the Orange Brick Guy being perhaps the most popular and sought-after. As with all things LEGO nothing is set in stone, all the parts above can be swapped for entirely different bits. Genders can be switched, colour combinations can be whatever you make them, and accessories can be random. Remember to have fun and enjoy your LEGO experience.
If you like the look of these characters they are available now at most Certified LEGO Stores, although I would recommend phoning ahead to confirm before heading in and even getting a pack or two put by for you to avoid disappointment. You can either make them yourself or some stores conveniently bundle them into packs and are often located near the till area.
Let us know in the comments what you think of these new Minifigures and whether you collect them or not, we love hearing from you.
