If there’s one thing that LEGO collectors well and truly love, it’s exclusive LEGO minifigures that you have to buy an expensive product like a video game to acquire, right? (Right…?). LEGO sure seems to think so, because hot on the heels of the LEGO Movie video game being released with a variety of different exclusive LEGO Movie minifigures, LEGO has announced the next video game tie-in figure. Coming exclusively with Gamestop purchases of the LEGO The Hobbit video game–the LEGO Good Morning Bilbo minifigure!
Someone at LEGO must have heard my unspoken prayer, because today GameStop stores officially announced the LEGO minifigure that will be given away free to customers who pre-order this spring’s LEGO The Hobbit video game–a LEGO The Hobbit Good Morning Bilbo Baggins minifigure wearing the beloved bathrobe/dressing gown from the first film!
The LEGO The Hobbit video game with exclusive LEGO Good Morning Bilbo Baggins minifigure is now available for pre-order from Gamestop, and will be released in April 2014. Given how expensive past video game exclusive minifigures have ended up being on the aftermarket, it might be a good idea to pre-order the LEGO Hobbit video game just to get the Bathrobe Bilbo minifigure and sell off the video game immediately.
How do you like the hilarious, grin-inducing Good Morning Bilbo LEGO minifigure, LEGO fans? Will you be pre-ordering the LEGO Hobbit video game to obtain this sure-to-be-coveted Bilbo Baggins variant?
…You know, put real legs on him and you also have a great makeshift Seventh Doctor. XD
