Collecting certain parts only

Paperballpark

Creepy? They're not creepy. Honestly, when you have them all framed in front of you, they're art.

All they need now is pins like butterflies pinned in a frame 🤣

Yellowcastle

Definitely cool but all the faceless figures gave me a westworld vibe.

As mentioned in another thread, light nougat hips heading our way. If like me you haven’t completed your light nougat mono fig.

Official naked minifigs!

Oh no LEGO, what kind of filth is this going to enable?! The end is nigh!

Cymbeline

No, this is the official naked minifig!

... I want this to be an official polybag.  I want it so bad.

Look what I found on BL the other day! :-)



The colour reproduction isn't great, I'm afraid, but I promise that the one centre-front is Light Bluish Gray. I'm not sure where the seller got them, as it still shows as only available in #4002020 2020 Employee Exclusive: 40 Years of Hands-on Learning - LEGO Education on BL.

Fodder

^ I’m pretty sure that they’re in the Winnie the Pooh set. They are on BnP but currently out of stock.
I'm currently trying to source mine.

JudgeChuck

@Fodder, yes, you're absolutely right. Quite a lot of them as well: 23, to be precise, 24 including the spare. I've got the set, though unopened and unbuilt at present, so I hadn't spotted that.

Cymbeline

Light bluish grey - just what I need for Miss Havisham's wedding bouquet in my Great Expectations MOC . . .

JudgeChuck

I've just had a peek through the #21326 Winnie The Pooh set instructions and no wonder it didn't register that the new LBG flowers are included! Every single one is hidden in the build and virtually invisible in the completed set!

pxchris

It was definitely an interesting part inclusion - I was quite surprised myself during the build to find so many of those lbg flowers.

Today I got the hands to finish the Flat Silver minifig:



Changing my modular display around to fit it in:


One more space left before I have to add more modules!

Dang that's special! Where did you get the chrome gold figure??

Are these out of hours overtime bonus moulds?

Care to elaborate on what this means?

Also ignore the above I read back in chat on the chrome gold figure.

Probably a key chain with the pin removed...

Paperballpark

Correct :)

There are now many unofficial (as in parts in colours never intended to appear in sets) monochrome minifigure parts being made explicitly for the secondary market, sold at high prices.

I wasn't even trying to collect these mask pieces, but I keep finding them in bulk buys. I just got the black one today, and thought I would show off all four colors together:

blokey9

what are these masks from?

The_Rancor

Very early Castle, sets such as #375 and #383

veyniac

They were used in the first Castle minifigures ever, which makes them quite interesting from a historical perspective.

Yellowcastle

Classic me was the best me.

Hello, rarely post but had a question/observation-

The helmet for the knight on a horse, is that a classic space old gray helmet? Been trying to build a classic spaceman in gray, and was wondering how far you could get with old gray parts.

The torso for that fig is Light Blue Grey, so I chose the motorcycle helmet in the same color.  It is available in old Light Grey as well, though.

The old style classic space helmet is available in Light Grey but I didn’t want to spend $10 for one...

Speaking of Classic Spacemen, I was able to add Orange last night after a trip to Costco...

Yes it’s light gray or old light gray rather than light bley 👍🏼

I immediately thought of this thread when I read this article on BrickNerd about parrots. Definitely makes me want the rest of the colors even more now!

Bobflip

This is gonna be the gateway set for a few monofig collections!
(also well done TLC for the inclusive forward thinking etc)

Let's hope so.  Unless someone is FULLY dedicated and wiped a Mr. Gold...

"What, it was a $2.99 CMF. ...WHAT?!?"

Paperballpark

Haha! Just need a pair of hands from a Chrome Gold C3P0 now... 😂

Added a few more small groupings to my collection... Part 15391 Mini Blaster

4332 Broom (added the Dark Brown from Kingsley Shacklebolt)

and 21459 Katana with square guard...

Speedman29

Love the range of katana @KungFuKenny I've stalled with my frog line up at the moment. Got five to go and no BL orders planned unless I accelerate my late 70s F1 car builds and start ordering. Got a couple of other colour lines of the same part ideas brewing, maybe I'll go crazy and order a load of parts just for them!

Once you get started it is pretty addictive... I just made a BL order last night to finish up a few other sets!

Rainbow Pacman ghosts.

Every Ghost is Awesome :)

I finally received the red banana I ordered on Bricklink, allowing me to (temporarily) complete this set…

Which opened up the possibility of a multi-colored banana tree!

KungFuKenny

Some more pieces arrived in the last couple of weeks-

Batarangs…
Crowbars…

Small bears…

And last but not least, cameras!

I made another “Brick Fig” to hold the black camera (along with the Lime Green one I previously made)…

Paperballpark

Are those heads just balanced on?

KungFuKenny

No, there is a hole drilled for the neck — it just can’t be recessed as much as the Lego version…

Switchfoot55

^well, not with that attitude they can't...

KungFuKenny

A recent PAB buy has bolstered my white jumpers, so looks like I need to find some new parts to complete…

Switchfoot55

^Some of these things are not like the others. Some of these things just do not belong. 


These were on the PAB wall once upon a time in my area. I over bought by quite a bit. I guess I need to start doing part collections to use them up!

Astrobricks

^^ Somebody put those plates in there just to trigger us! 😱

Paperballpark

How about you use your jumper plates to make a display of different coloured jumper plates? ;)

New challenge for you - add the older 30089 cameras and make brick figs for them - it came in yellow and bright light orange.

Completed my every colour of frogs recently when the trans green was FS in a Bricklink shop that also sold several other pieces I needed.

Another recent order also netted me a black bicycle, just pink and white to complete the non unicorn colours. Rather than make a display of them in a line, I have them with various riders around my modular street.

The_Rancor

The original Klatooine Paddy Frog! :)

JudgeChuck

I managed to add the new magenta bicycle to my collection, via a B&P order:
