LEGO Minifigures - Series 18 - Sealed Box

Overall, I think Series 18 was an interesting series. It was certainly a bold move by LEGO to create an all-costume series, and while I think it was relatively good on the whole, LEGO shouldn't repeat this, at least not just yet. Give us a few more normal CMF series first. more less

For me, my favorites of Series 18 are the Party Clown, Dragon Suit Guy, Birthday Cake Guy, Race Car Guy, and Cowboy Costume Guy. The LEGO Brick Suit costumes are interesting and I do like how they are able to connect to other bricks. more less

It goes without saying that Series 18 has catapulted its way to the top of my list of Top Minifigures Series without a question. It has something for everyone and LEGO obviously pulled out all the stops with minifigure designs and were extremely generous with all the new costumes, elements and characters that they included in Series 18. more less

With each new series of LEGO Minifigures, the LEGO Design Team seem to outdo themselves and you would expect them to have run out of ideas, but they have come out swinging for the 40th anniversary of the Minifigure. The new elements are great and it will be interesting to see where they appear next. The additional of an orange baseplate is definitely welcomed although it would of been nice to have the LEGO Minifigures 40th anniversary logo printed on it or even included in a tile. Despite a few minor gripes, this series of LEGO Minifigures is a fitting and fun way to celebrate the 40th anniversary and it's always nice to have a non-licensed series after so many recent ones being based on movies. more less

Series 18 isn't the first series to feature costumed characters. That began with Series 3's Gorilla Suit Guy, who is arguably the first “minifigure in a costume." Throughout the CMF's history, the costumed characters have been among the most popular, especially with kids, and this series finally indulges costume fans by putting nearly all of its characters in some sort of suit. In keeping with the festive style, this is also the first regular series to use non-black minifigure stands, featuring orange unprinted stands with all of the characters. more less

I love many of the accessories and head pieces included with this series, but my favourite would be the tile that comes with the young boy: it is printed with as small a representation as you could come up with to be a representation of the packet that the series one figures appeared in years ago. Also up there would have to be the balloon animals. As for my favourite figures? it is a toss up for me between the cowboy, the dragon and the two figures dressed up as LEGO Bricks! more less

I was thoroughly impressed when the first images of 71021 Collectable Minifigures Series 18 were revealed and the resultant collection is even better than I hoped! There are a couple of figures which do not match the high standard of the rest in my opinion but the vast majority are magnificent and this is certainly among my favourite series released so far, due to both the exceptional design of certain minifigures and the consistent quality of the range. more less

In our opinion the LEGO Minifigures Series 18 collection is the best that's been released and we're sure many of our readers will agree. With so many unique minifigures and a costume party vibe, they will be fun to play with and display. more less
