I originally thought the LEGO collectible minifigures were just a rip off. You have to hope that you can collect all 16 and you don't know what is int he bags... or maybe you're good at feeling through the packaging to figure out which minifig it is. I avoided them and then one day while walking through a Walmart I decided to pick up a few just for fun. From there it was all downhill. I was hooked. I had to get all 16 of each release... and the rest is history.
These minifigs were released in January 2016 and LEGO typically keeps them out for 3-4 months (although it usually depends on order and stock levels). The cost is $3.99 each so buying large amount and hoping to get them all can get expensive. So what are they?
