Recommendation: yes 9.2 / 10 by WhiteFang

Be sure to collect them and buy them all. Don't regret buying more packets than you intend; you will regret it later if you give these series a miss and later want to add them to your LEGO journey. The minimum I could advise is to at least complete one full Minifigures Series 1 and 2 collection each.

Recommendation: meh 4.2 / 5 from 52 reviews

Okay, I am really impressed with the company I purchased this from. Unlike some others venders that openly disclosed the individual bags sold had to be initially opened to verify the mini-figure inside, my vender shipped the items each completely professionally factory sealed. This made me a bit nervous so I gently opened each one, as there is no way I can see to determine from the outside which mini-figure is inside the 16 individual surprise packs. I was very happy to note each piece was excellent and there were no duplicates. If I had tried to get a set at the store I can only IMAGINE the cost as duplicate pieces are sure to be purchased. I saved tons purchasing through Amazon and my son loves them!
