Build A Minifigure – The Brick Post! https://www.thebrickpost.com LEGO® Related News, Reviews, and More!

One of the 6 characters had an awesome Carrot head piece, so when making the Minifigures I thought why not start the Carrot Crew?!

Past BaM parts, the green jumper and matching legs, were still available and made perfect sense to be the basis for the Carrot Crews‘ bodies. I popped random heads onto each one and gave two of them cups and one a teapot, maybe they are planning a Carrot Crew teaparty.

The Carrot Mascot pieces aren’t new but they are very cool, to see them at BaM Stations is nice, perfect for ‘growing’ your mascot and vegetable collection. Costing £5.99 for a pack of three is also great, so why not pop into your local store and grab them before they’re gone.

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 LEGO stores BaM Stations, 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’d love to hear from you.

New Figs On The Block: Ninjago & Football BaM Characters 2023! https://www.thebrickpost.com/news/new-figs-on-the-block-ninjago-football-bam-characters-2023/ https://www.thebrickpost.com/news/new-figs-on-the-block-ninjago-football-bam-characters-2023/#respond Sat, 10 Jun 2023 19:27:47 +0000 https://www.thebrickpost.com/?p=28232 Brand new Minifigure characters have started showing up at BaM (build a minifigure) Stations Worldwide and this time around they focus on Ninjas!

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 were a mixture of styles & themes, including a Unicorn Knight, Skeleton Pirate, Beach Guy and More, click here for a quick refresher.

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 help with keeping up-to-date with what is available.

As always there are a great selection of characters and accessories to go along with them, we particular like the coloured swords and new Chickens. Group photos can be seen at the end of this article, along with which accessories go with which character.

New Figs On The Block: Halloween 2022 Minifigures BaM! https://www.thebrickpost.com/news/new-figs-on-the-block-halloween-2022-minifigures-bam/ https://www.thebrickpost.com/news/new-figs-on-the-block-halloween-2022-minifigures-bam/#respond Fri, 02 Sep 2022 16:32:52 +0000 https://www.thebrickpost.com/?p=21179 The BaM (build a minifigure) station is fast becoming the place to grab new and exciting LEGO characters and on quite a regular basis too!

The last lot that were available featured a new ragtag crew of Cowboys & Cowgirls, and strangely an updated version of Captain Red Beard (Pirate). Before them we were graced with a new Knight torso, Wizard, and Queen, which makes for a great addition to the recently released LEGO Lion Knights Castle (10305).

A massive thank you is in order to our good friend @brickmcbricksworth, who recently picked up and took photos of the new Halloween characters that have started hitting stores. They feature a Potions Witch, Day of the Dead style/Corpse Bride, and a Bat-Boy Vigilante.

As you can see from the image above you get some fun Minifigures and cool accessories, which include Lavender coloured Wings, Witches torso and matching skirt and the Day of the Dead style head piece.

The Bat-Boy Minifigure, as we call him, makes good use of the masked head piece which also has an alternate face.

The Day of the Dead style female Minifigure features a female version of the Mariachi torso that we got at the start of the year. A perfect combo I must say!

The printing of her head piece is fantastic and really suits the Minifigure well. Of you’re a LEGO Harry Potter fan you’ll notice the hair piece, yep that’s right, it’s taken from Bellatrix Lestrange, which is somewhat rare amongst collectors.

The Witch Minifigure comes complete with a plain black hat and red/ginger hair, a spooky torso & skirt combo and a purple potion bottle. I particularly like the almost shiny silver detailing on the Spider’s Web on both the torso & skirt, combined with the purple and black it really is a cool but scary looking Witch

If you like the look of these characters they’re available now at most Certified LEGO Stores, although I would recommend phoning ahead to confirm before heading in and even getting a pack put by for you to avoid disappointment.

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.

New Figs on the Block: Valentine’s Characters and more! https://www.thebrickpost.com/reviews/new-figs-on-the-block-valentines-characters-and-more/ https://www.thebrickpost.com/reviews/new-figs-on-the-block-valentines-characters-and-more/#comments Mon, 14 Feb 2022 11:18:23 +0000 https://www.thebrickpost.com/?p=16429 The BaM (build a minifigure) station is fast becoming the place to grab new and exciting LEGO characters and on quite a regular basis too!

The last lot there were available featured a new pale blue Brick Person, a Clown, and a very random Cake suit guy. There are still some stores that have yet to catchup but hang on in there and you’ll soon see the BaM updated.

We were lucky enough to grab these and the new Valentine’s Day characters that have recently started hitting stores. They feature a dark pink Bear, Fairy girl, and Chick.

 

As you can see from the image above you get some fun Minifigures and cool accessories. Take the new wing piece for example, the shape is new and unique to the BaM and has yet to be seen in a set. Don’t get me started on the hot pink Bear, it is so cool and adds to the whole Bear lineup which there are already a few of, including a Panda.

If you like the look of these characters they’re available now at most Certified LEGO Stores, although I would recommend phoning ahead to confirm before heading in.

Let us k ow in the comments what you think of these Minifigures and whether you collect them or not, we love hearing from you.

New Build A Minifigure Characters First Look! https://www.thebrickpost.com/news/new-build-a-minifigure-characters-first-look/ https://www.thebrickpost.com/news/new-build-a-minifigure-characters-first-look/#respond Sun, 02 Jan 2022 08:43:49 +0000 https://www.thebrickpost.com/?p=15466 If you’re a fan of LEGO Minifigures and the BaM (Build a Minifigure) Station found at official LEGO Stores, then you’re in for a real treat soon, as three new characters have been revealed!

With big thanks to Dylan Chow we have our first proper look at three new Minifigures coming to LEGO Stores soon, although no official date has been revealed, we can at least see what they look like.

The characters include a Dessert/Cake Suit Guy, Clown, and a new colour of Brick Suit Person.

Not only are the Minifigures cool we have been treated to a handful of new prints and colours such as the cake slice which has been used before for the Pizza Suit and Watermelon Suit Minifigures. The Clown has new printing on both his torso and legs, and the new Brick Person colour is amazing and adds to the already impressive selection of colours.

Again there is no mention of a release date but we hope to be seeing them in official LEGO Stores soon. If you find them first don’t forget to share the news with us and we’ll keep this page updated!
