Recommendation: meh 4.5 / 5 by Allen "Tormentalous" Tran

Overall, the Series 13 LEGO Collectible Minifigures (71008) are one of the best series I've seen in a while. The minifigures can appeal to a wide range to collectors and many of them can be potential army builders. Some of them are just wacky while others can fit into many MOCed themes as well. Designing new minifigures can be a daunting task but it seems that LEGO has got another hit with Series 13.

Recommendation: meh 4.3 / 5 from 33 reviews

I bought this as a gift for my husband, who recently started to do woodworking as a hobby, and I was worried I wasn't going to get the carpenter, because it came on a Lego “mystery pack" bag, but it had a small sticker in the back saying woodworker (remove it if you want to keep the secret until the last minute as me!). Good quality. Is an original LEGO.

Recommendation: meh 8 / 10 by WhiteFang

To conclude, the LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 13, without any doubt, has put together an terrific and remarkable effort to introduce even more new highly desired and relevant minifigures designs into this ongoing LEGO Minifigures Series.

Recommendation: meh 4 / 5 by Jay

There's almost nothing that I don't like about the Carpenter – the Minifigure Series has always been a great platform to give us minifigs based on real-world occupations and the Carpenter is a very worthy addition to the minifigure family. He's another minifig that I plan on getting multiples of, which is easy since there are 5 Carpenters per box!
