Toys R Us Canada Announces Its Bricktober 2018 Giveaway Schedule and Make and Take Events

We know the spiel by now: Toy ‘R’ Us may be dead in the US, UK and Australia, but in several other countries life sort of goes on. In Canada for instance, under its current owners Fairfax Financial, its 82 stores north of the border continue to operate as normal. That means of course that the signature seasonal event traditions of the Toys ‘R’ Us brand remain alive and well. Seeing as September is coming to an end that would mean only one thing: Bricktober 2018 is still up and running in the country. From exclusive LEGO gifts to “Make and Takes”, it’s all good.

Now, we already know what Bricktober LEGO minifigure collections are up for grabs in the remaining Toys ‘R’ Us stores the world over, but there’s still the matter of schedule. Canada has its own dates of availability for the sets, thus:

October 5 – 11: LEGO Ninjago (5005257)

October 12 – 18: LEGO Jurassic World (5005255)

October 19 – 25: LEGO Marvel Super Heroes (5005256)

October 26 – November 1: LEGO Harry Potter (5005254)

Remember, each Bricktober minifigure collection can be had free with every minimum $75 LEGO set purchase at TRU Canada, once every week for repeat regular LEGO shoppers.

As for the Make and Take events, Toys ‘R’ Us Canada has two lined up. First is the LEGO Jurassic World theme with a Triceratops build scheduled on October 13. Next is the LEGO Harry Potter event with the famous Mini Flying Ford Anglia model slated on October 27.

These events run from 11AM to 1PM, with a max number of 150 sets allotted per every TRU Canada store. US shoppers need not fret, though. LEGO has already confirmed that Barnes & Noble is carrying the LEGO Harry Potter Bricktober set. There are also rumors floating around that the rest of the Bricktober 2018 series will be offered at LEGO brand stores around November or December. We’ll keep a close eye on that and keep you posted.

LEGO Minifigure Collector Frame (5005359) Official Image and Details

Since the LEGO Store October 2018 Calendar has been released earlier this month, we now have an idea on various promos that LEGO fans can expect next month. From October 15-31, the LEGO Minifigure Collector Frame (5005359) will be offered to LEGO customers and fans for a minimum single receipt purchase of $75 and more.

The LEGO Minifigure Collector Frame (5005359) is similar to the Marvel Superheroes and LEGO Batman Movie frames that LEGO released back in 2016 and 2017 respectively. And now thanks to the LEGO Certified Store in Hongkong, we now have a better look at this new LEGO accessory.

According to LCS Hongkong, this new minifig collector frame is available today until October 18 for a minimum single receipt purchase of 1,000 HK dollars, or roughly equivalent to $127 USD. That’s a rather steep price for a LEGO promotional set in my opinion, considering that with a little patience, this collectible frame will soon be available in the US at the middle of October.

Furthermore, the LEGO Minifigure Collector Frame (5005359) comes with a 32×32 gray baseplate and several LEGO pieces that serve as minifigure stands that can display up to 16 minifigures. Perfect in displaying any of LEGO’s CMF series. To sweeten the deal, LEGO throws in a never-before-seen exclusive minifigure that comes in a summer outfit and lifesaver. There’s also a 2×2 tile with the LEGO logo printed on it, which is quite a rare piece usually found only on LEGO’s gift-with-purchase sets.

Perhaps the only downside for the Minifigure Collector Frame is that it is made of black cardboard instead of wood or light plastic, and there’s no cover of any kind as well. It comes with a kickstand if you prefer not to hang it and have it displayed on your desk or corner table. In any case, this is still a great gift-with-purchase set that will be valuable in displaying your prized LEGO minifigures.

Be sure to keep tabs with shop.LEGO.com in the US and watch out for this promotional beginning October 15.

Does the Way the LEGO Wizarding World Collectible Minifigures (71022) Blind Bags Placed Per Box Gives A Hint On What You Can Get?

The new wave of LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter and Fantastic Beast sets are now out, together with the highly in demand LEGO Harry Potter and Wizarding World Collectible Minifigures (71022). As we all know by now, the LEGO Harry Potter CMF 71022 comes with an array of impressively designed minifigs of familiar Potter-verse characters, including a chase minifig of Percival Graves/Gellert Grindelwald. We already reported on its box distribution earlier last month, giving us an idea of the odds of getting that minifigure that you really want.

This time around, an avid collector of this latest LEGO CMF has shared additional info via Reddit that will somehow increase the odds of finding that elusive LEGOF CMF (71022) character that you are looking for. According to Mabubifarti, s/he observes that the way the sixty (60) blind bags of this particular CMF is placed inside its sealed box follows a peculiar pattern. Furthermore, this tendency for a ‘preferred’ arrangement was also observed by Mabubifarti to be applicable to LEGO’s Anniversary Series 18 CMF (71021), particularly in reference to where Series 18’s chase minifig (which is the Classic Police Officer) is located inside the sealed box.

Just in case someone finds it useful, I recorded the order of the minifigures in my Harry Potter CMF box. from lego

Based on the above layout, the upper row of the table represents the back portion of the box, while the row at the very bottom of the table represents the front portion of the box. According to reports from other LEGO Harry Potter CMF collectors, Mabubifarti’s arrangement is quite accurate with 2 other slight variations from the one s/he originally shared. If this is true and you’re still on a mission to complete your very own LEGO Harry Potter CMF (71022), then it will be better to keep in mind that picking up the blind bags from both the front and back end of the box will probably yield a handful of duplicate minifigs. It seems that the best strategy to avoid any unwanted duplicates is to pick things upper column and getting each blind bag per column alternately.

Of course, we must always take such reports with a grain salt, but with almost every collector reporting the same with only slight variations on the preferred arrangement, then it may also prove that such an arrangement does exist. If you’re still in doubt, you should always feel your way through each of the blind bags. The reported blind bag arrangement may only help as far as narrowing down your search, but feeling your way through each of them still gives you a much better chance of landing on that minifig that you really want.

Speaking of feeling your way through each LEGO Harry Potter CMF (71022) blind bag, The Brothers Brick has published an excellent guide that will help you increase the odds of finding that tricky minifig that you really want. Be sure to check out their feel guide before you head to your local LEGO brand store for your LEGO Harry Potter CMF hunt. Alternatively, you may also visit shop.LEGO.com if you don’t mind getting a randomly selected blind bag.

A Look at the LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022) Box Distribution

Here’s a timely update on what we’ve learned so far about this next big CMF craze. Following LEGO’s official reveal of the highly anticipated LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022) a couple of weeks ago, there were earlier impressions that these J.K. Rowling inspired characters will be somehow equally represented among 60 blind bags that each box has.

However, according to Brickset guru CapnRex101, this next CMF series will consist of certain rare figures and one chase minifigure per box very much similar to what LEGO did with the LEGO CMF Series 18 with its Classic Police Officer minifig. Here’s a breakdown of the LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022) box distribution:

Harry Potter:

3 – Harry Potter (Hogwarts Uniform)

3 – Hermione Granger

3 – Ron Weasley

3 – Draco Malfoy

3 – Neville Longbottom

3 – Cho Chang

3 – Dean Thomas

3 – Lord Voldemort

3 – Dobby

3 – Cedric Diggory

3 – Filius Flitwick

3 – Mad-Eye Moody

3 – Albus Dumbledore

2 – Luna Lovegood

2 – Sybil Trelawney

2 – Harry Potter (Invisibility Cloak)

Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them:

3 – Newt Scamander

3 – Porpentina Goldstein

3 – Jacob Kowalski

3 – Queenie Goldstein

2 – Credence Barebone

1 – Percival Graves

As you can see from the above list provided by Brickset, the chase minifigure from this series will be the dubious Percival Graves. For a while there I thought that the chase minifigure will be Harry with his Invisibility Cloak. Rumors regarding the inclusion of a chase minifig in this series were circulating around LEGO fan forums for quite some time. Personally, I feel that there are a lot of better candidates to have a chase minifig other than Percival Graves. I guess I will not really understand LEGO’s decision on this one.

71022 22 — Percival Graves will be the chase minifigure in the LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022).

Looking further on the list, we will also see that the characters of Luna Lovegood, Sybil Trelawney, Harry Potter (with Invisibility Cloak) and Credence Barebone only has 2 minifigures for each them, leaving any LEGO CMF completionist having only 2 complete sets per box – less Percival graves of course. With such limited box distribution, I strongly feel that the cost for one complete set of this CMF series will be considerably higher in the aftermarket as compared to other LEGO CMF series before it. I guess we just have to wait and see.

The LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022) are slated to be released in August across LEGO Stores and at shop.LEGO.com.

More LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022) Images Revealed

Last week, LEGO has finally announced its next collectible minfigures series that highlights some of the most popular characters from JK Rowling’s Harry Potter and Fantastic Beasts franchise. Now this time around, we get our first glimpse of the respective blind bag and set image of the LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022).

This newest LEGO CMF craze consists of 16 LEGO Harry Potter minifigures and 6 LEGO Fantastics Beasts minifigs giving us a total of 22 minifigures to collect. According to Promobricks, the box itself has the usual 60 blind bags with a reported distribution of 3 sets of the LEGO Harry Potter movies, 2 for the LEGO Fantastic Beasts. Doing the math, it means that there are 3 X 16 LEGO HP plus 2 X 6 LEGO FB for a total of 60 minifigures per box. However, this is considered speculative until officially announced by LEGO.

Based on the accessories that go with each collectible minifigure, it looks like we’re not going to have a hard time feeling our way through them. The ones that I think will be the easiest to detect are the minifigures of Cedric Diggory (because of the Triwizard Cup, Dobby with his unique head mold, and Lord Voldemort due to his torso and snake figure that goes with him. It is also interesting to note that each blind bag, particularly for those magical characters, contains an extra wand piece. This is a new piece that LEGO introduced with the LEGO Wizarding World Harry Potter sets. This latest CMF also introduces the first-ever articulated shorter minifigure legs that previously not available for children minifigs and other shorter characters.

The LEGO Harry Potter Collectible Minifigures (71022) are slated to be released in August across LEGO Stores and at shop.LEGO.com.

LEGO Toys R Us Bricktober 2017 Minifigures Have Started Appearing in TRU Stores in the US.

Though they have appeared earlier in some parts of the globe a few weeks ago, it seems that several Toys R Us stores in the US have already begun this year’s LEGO Bricktober promotions. With four, undoubtedly impressive sets to collect throughout the month of October, this year’s LEGO TRU Bricktober Minifigures includes a colorful collection of minifigures hailing from the LEGO Batman Movie, Ninjago, City Jungle Exploration, and Collectible Minifigures series.

As mentioned by The Brick Fan, some Toys R Us branches in the US have already started the said promotions. These exclusive minifigs are given for free, for every minimum single-receipt purchase of LEGO products worth $50 and above. Different TRU stores in various geographical regions have observed slightly different release dates throughout their Bricktober promotional, and in the US the following are the scheduled release dates to be followed.

October 1 to 7 – LEGO Ninjago Masters of Spinjitzu (5004938)

October 8 to 14 – LEGO Batman Movie (5004939)

October 15 to 21 – LEGO City Jungle Exploration (5004940)

October 22 to 28 – LEGO Collectible Minifigures (5004941)

It seems that the in-store announcements and activities came in first, and we should expect some updates from TRU’s official website any time soon. Similarly, Toys R Us has lined up a pretty interesting series of Bricktober weekend in-store events, with a handful of freebies up for grabs. Check TRU’s website for more details.

LEGO Collectible Minifigure Series 17 (71018) Official Images Revealed!

We first saw them during this year’s New York Toy Fair, and we speculated on their possible names, and this time around, we now have several official images of LEGO’s Collectible Minifigures Series 17 (71018).

NOTE: Each bag contains one of the 16 characters in the series. Unfortunately, we cannot accommodate requests for specific minifigures. If you buy more than one bag, you risk getting more of the same minifigures. When buying a whole box, there is a minimum of one of each figure.

Bottom row, L-R: Connoisseur, Butterflies Girl, Roman Gladiator, Corn Cob Man, Retro Spaceman, Dance Instructor, Battle Dwarf, Rocket Boy.

LEGO is still mum on its final minifigure which is rumored to be a French Highway Man based on its silhouette. LEGO has been teasing about the Highway since Day 1 when Series 17 was first revealed at NYTF. This lead others to speculate on a possible promotional stunt that LEGO has in the works akin perhaps to Mr. Gold from LEGO CMF Series 10 (71001) back in 2013. If this is the case, then we can expect a lot of hype from this series anytime soon – it’s just a matter of time.

LEGO CMF Series 17 is expected to be released on May 1 in all LEGO Brand Stores and at shop.LEGO.com. Stay tuned here at the Brick Show for more CMF updates.
