LEGO Bricktober 2013 Exclusive Minifigures Sets Revealed & Photos

Next week October will be upon us, bringing it with it Halloween, endless bags of candy and pumpkin flavored everything! But these things may take a back seat for LEGO collectors, as they have a perhaps more important annual event to look forward to. Beginning next week, Toys R Us will begin its annual LEGO Bricktober 2013 event! This year they’ll be offering another three exclusive LEGO Minifigure five-packs, and photos of the 2013 LEGO Bricktober exclusive minifigure sets have now been spotted…

Bricktober 2013 LEGO Minifigure Collection 1 Toys R Us Exclusive SetThanks to Flickr user ninnymuggins, we’ve now gotten our first glimpse at the Toys R Us exclusive minifigure sets for 2013! While Toys R Us typically has a different exclusive for each week of October, there are strangely enough only three Bricktober Minifigure Collections sets this year (numbered 1/3, 2/3 and 3/3). Could Toys R Us have a different sort of exclusive planned for the final week of the 2013 Bricktober? We’ll have to wait a bit to find out about that, but I imagine they’ll at least have something planned, even if it’s just an exclusive LEGO polybag promo set.

LEGO Bricktober 2013 Minifigure Collection 2 Exclusive Set Toys R UsSadly, this year’s Bricktober exclusive minifigure sets are a bit of a let-down to me. While last year Toys R Us had the awesome Vintage Minifigure Collection sets for each week of Bricktober 2012, this year’s sets just seem to be cobbled together minifigures that aren’t anything really unique or special.

The high point of each set is definitely the minifigure on the far right side of each box: the Jester minifigure from Bricktober 2013 Minifigure Collection 1, the Spaceman minifigure from Bricktober 2013 Minifigure Collection 2, and the blue Wizard minifigure from Bricktober 2013 Minifigure Collection 3. Everything else in each box can be made pretty easily just using parts from recent and currently available sets (the LEGO Spaceman also happened to be the main reason I wanted to buy this year’s 2013 LEGO City Advent Calendar).

LEGO Minifigure Collection 3 Bricktober 2013 Exclusive SetOne Bricktober minifigure set should be available “free” with a qualifying purchase at Toys R Us each week of October 2013, although Toys R Us has not yet confirmed how much customers will have to spend this year in order to obtain each week’s exclusive set.

What do you think about the Toys R Us exclusive sets for Bricktober 2013, LEGO fans? Are you excited for what Toys R Us has in store for us, or were you hoping this year’s exclusives would be something different?
