Lego MiniFigure Wave 3: It’s a Bumpy Ride to Find
Hot, hot, hot.
(thanks, Jimmy D.)
The Wave 3 Lego Minifigures are out now …
As you know, in the last wave, Lego decided for internal inventory, they wanted some way to tell them apart so they added a mystery barcodes to the right but people quickly deciphered them so this time, they decided to try and hide them but AGAIN to no avail. People quickly deciphered the “bumps” at the bottom of each package.

Once again, these are pretty hard to resist especially the gorilla and the Cyborg with a peg leg?
Again, great job with the accessories.
(BTW, that’s a mummy with a scorpion and not some alien wrench).
Of course, the whole mystery thing doesn’t really make sense since everything is a sellout but whatever …
With 16 all-new minifigures, Series 3 adds even more collectable figures to the growing LEGO Minifigure Collection! Each minifigure comes in a sealed, mystery, bag, so you never know which minifigure you might get. And each minifigure has its own special accessories, display plate and collector’s leaflet. Inspired by movies, sports, history and just everyday life, this collection includes: Tennis Player, Hula Dancer, Space Alien, Samurai Warrior, Sumo Wrestler, Rapper, Fisherman, Tribal Chief, Snowboarder, Elf, Race Car Driver, Pilot, Baseball Player, Mummy, Space Villain, Gorilla Suit Guy.
So, yea, not gorilla but gorilla suit guy lest any gorilla experts try to claim it’s not accurate that it’s standing upright 🙂 … plus the banana is way out of scale.
If you can’t wait to find it in stores, TRU has it online for $3.99 each (mystery choice, of course).
The LEGO STORE does not list it online yet.
But the new Pharaoh’s Quest series looks pretty cool

Found these in the Valentine aisle of Target today, yay! But yeah, it is REALLY hard to figure out the bumps. Easier to feel for accessories. Ended up with a duplicate hula girl and elf 🙁 Going back to feel for chief, fisherman, cyborg, rapper and baseball player. They should be relatively easy.

Hilario! I was thinking the same thing. I found a few mummies and couldn’t figure out what the heck that thing was supposed to be. It felt like a giant wish bone:)
Legos – Awesome. Cant wait to get these. Wife will let me have these, but is making me sell all of my sets. So I now have 82 for sale.
How unfair 🙁
You have 82 of what for sale???
Holy crap…that was not easy. I just found a fresh box at my local TRU. All I wanted was some stocking stuffers. The Gorilla(me) Snowboarder Chick(wife) and Elf(son). It took about 45 minutes of careful, squeezing, pinching and tilting under the light. I ended up with 1x Gorilla, 1x Snowboarder, 2x Elf, NICE! But I must warn you the bumps ARE NOT EASY TO SEE on about 90% of the packages. You are almost better off just feeling for the accessories. Good luck!
I heard TRU is not the place to buy these, as they are $3-$4 there, and Meijers, and grocery stores, etc sell them for $2.
Thanks Roswell!!! Looking forward to the search!
These have been out for 4 weeks at my toys R us.
where are they located in Toys R Us? Does anyone know? I can never find them and they have no idea when I ask.
(MET: If you click on the online link, it should list the TRU product number so they should be able to look it up in the stores – the last wave was just displayed around the registers).
here is whats in series 4:

The native girl has a nice pair of maracas 😉
(sorry, I just couldn’t resist)
ive seen pix of series 4, they look good too!
just need to get 2 more from series 2 then onto the third.
the gorrilla’s head comes off to reveal a sweaty legomans head 😛
Which ones do you need, I have a few extras
Collectormom, do you have a spare disco guy? He’s the only one I am missing from Wave 2. I was caught without my cheat sheet when I finally found them in the Halloween aisle at Target, so I just choose one set of unique barcodes (took forever). I made one mistake in the whole set and ended up with two Baywatch babes and no disco dude, LOL.
Monica I don’t have that one but I can check the PX here, they had 2 boxes of series 2. I’ll let you know if I find Disco Stu 🙂
Geez…really??? We’re talking about TOYS on this site now??? C’mon…
🙂 Just kidding… these are pretty cool, IF I needed another addiction!
