Golden Minifigure Announced for LEGO Minifigures Series 10!

Posted on by

In some really unexpected news, LEGO has announced a brand-new incentive for LEGO collectors to purchase LEGO Minifigures Series 10 blind bags–chase golden minifigures! At the 2013 Lomdon Toy Fair, LEGO made the surprise announcement that they will be producing a 17th unique figure along with the regular 16 figures in LEGO Minifigures Series 10: a special golden minifigure limited to only 5,000 pieces produced!

LEGO Minifigures Series 10 Golden Minifigure Limited Edition

The special, limited-edition gold minifigure will be randomly inserted into cases of LEGO Minifigures Series 10 being shipped to stores all over the world. So whether you live in Belgium or Kansas, you have a chance of pulling one of these ultra-limited golden minifigures from your LEGO Series 10 blind bag!

With just 5,000 Golden Minifigures produced worldwide, chances of finding one randomly at retail are not good–at all. Even if you buy an entire case–or two cases–you still have a very slim probability of actually obtaining one of the Series 10 Gold Minifigures in your case.

While LEGO doesn’t make production numbers available for the number of cases shipped out for each LEGO Minifigures Blind Bag Series, there are easily hundreds of thousands of cases produced of each series. So while everyone will be hoping to pull one of these super-special LEGO Golden Minifigures, try not to be too disappointed if you don’t!

LEGO Minifigures Series 10 Lineup Concept ArtworkLEGO is including a special, unique code with each of the 5,000 gold minifigures so that kids (and let’s face it, adults) can enter their codes online and track the different locations all over the world where the Series 10 Golden Minifigures have been found!

I have to admit, I typically detest chase figures like this, but the concept of being able to see where each golden minifigure has been found and how many remain sounds like a ton of fun. Could my home of sleepy Wilmington, Massachusetts be the destination of one of these desirable golden minifigures? Could be!

The limited-edition Golden Minifigure will be released as part of LEGO Minifigures Series 10, which will be releasing in the March or April 2013.

Golden Minifigure Announced for LEGO Minifigures Series 10! — 7 Comments

  1. I am very disapointed with the Lego minifigures. I have an Autistic grandson and every time he opens a packet he thinks he will have the golden man, We cannot make him understand why there isn’t one in his. I think it is very cruel to keep advertizing this said figure in every packet.

    • OMG… look I am sorry to hear about your grandson, but give me a break lady. you are only upset because your autistic grandson does not understand the concept of a blind bag. So ruin this fun concept of blind bags for everyone else. It is like if I said, I am allergic to fruit, so every restaurant should no longer serve fruit at all so I can enjoy going into restaurant. How about you dont buy your autistic grandson a blind bag then stupid. How about you just open it for him already and just say here lad I bought you a random figure at the store. You, stupid, are the one that tortures your grandson not Lego…. idiot.

  2. I have an Autistic son who is also obsessed with finding the Mr. Gold minifig. I think the Lego corporation has lost sight of what legos are all about; having fun! I guess it’s all about the money, like so many other corporate giants. Building legos helps individuals with autism further develop their fine motor skills and engages their minds on so many different levels of learning. Toys can be both fun and educational!

  3. Omg, really. I understand autism and as a parent why would you buy lego packet knowing the possibility of dissapointment.. the fault is not lego co. It is you the parent why would you give the child that kind of hope knowing the high percentage of dissapointment. Take responsibility of your actions and stop blamin other for what you do to your children.

    • Silvia,

      Shallow, uninformed, ignorant individuals such as yourself should not pass judgement on those with disabilities. Try living in their world, and walking in their shoes before you render anymore opinions on this subject.

    • Silvia,

      Clearly you do not understand Autism! Quite frankly, nobody truly understands what Autism is; not the Physicians, the Scientists, the Politicians, etc., etc. The only ones who truly know what Autism is about are the parents and caregivers of individuals with this enigmatic neurological disorder.

  4. To Mother of child with Autism, Silvia was talking about the parents not the kids. It’s not Lego’s fault nor the kid’s but the parent’s fault. Is this so hard to understand? What’s next? Ban Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory books because you can’t choose to not let your kid read it? I don’t get the hate at Silvia when she never said anything about the kid. I respect you all for being good parents with the added pressure of an autistic kid but surely we can’t be blaming toy manufacturers.

    There is the Aesop’s fable called the Man, His Son & the Donkey, it’s a good one
