LEGO Minifigures - The LEGO Movie 2 Series - Complete

The Lego figures are great, and they look and feel legitimate, but this is an odd set to say the least, and I can't help but wonder what's happening at Lego: 1) There were a LOT of extra parts, way more than usual for a minfig set (all that stuff in the 1st pic); 2) the contents of some of the pkgs were inside cellophane bags (not the usual Lego kind that were easy to open); 3) for some pkgs, the pamphlets were closed with tape that was a real PITA to get off. We ended up just throwing those away. BL: It's a pretty good set, but it looks like Lego may be outsourcing some of its manufacturing and assembly to places where the QC is not up to the usual standard (or they're making it up as they go). This does not bode well, IMO. more less

This entire series is an outstanding release with minor rant such as the repeated inclusion of Unikitty design. Overall, I would said this is quite a remarkable release including fulfilling the distribution ratio with 3 complete sets in a sealed box. This alone, is a huge winner to ensure the distribution spread is done appropriately. Furthermore, I also noted with the minifigure neck marking increased the tightness and grip of the head and neck. This is actually great for CMFs which was previously lacking. more less

Overall The LEGO Movie 2 Collectible Minifigures (71023) series is a pretty interesting one with a number of characters that you wouldn't really expect to see in one of the sets. My favorite one is probably the Giraffe guy as well as the Wizard of Oz crew which are some popular ones among fans. There are also some questionable inclusions such as Emmet and Unikitty. Do we really need another of their variants even though they have been heavily featured in the sets and Unikitty in her series from last year? more less

These blind packs differ from every previous series in one very distinctive way: they're bigger. The blind packs for the individual figures are about an inch taller and a little wider than previous series. The reason for this change isn't obvious, since there aren't any large elements in this series that are bigger than the large pieces in previous series. The bags are also made of a thinner plastic. Interestingly, the new plastic actually makes the figures easier to feel through the packaging. more less

I found a few surprises looking through the set, especially with the UV: Bright Green seems to be particularly Bright. I wonder how other elements in this colour look?. Orange is inconsistent: some versions of Bright Orange Fluoresce, others do not. Likewise red: I have some fuselage elements joined together at home: some fluoresce, others don't! Some ‘Bright' colours don't seem to glow at all. Overall, it's a pretty diverse collection! more less
