You probably remember the survey LEGO conducted among VIP members in July ( see this article ): Everyone could choose their favorite minifigure from among the 48 minifigures in series 1, 2, and 3. ( See an example of the email received at the time of the vote .)
Well, the results of the vote are in and LEGO reveals them in the latest VIP newsletter.
And there is something to ask questions ... Either the majority of voters really wanted to get these minifigs and in this case I give up ... Either LEGO takes us for fools.
These five minifigures are, quite by chance, all from series 3, and LEGO promises that one element will be a unique color for each of them: the scorpion for the mummy, the fish and the fisherman's hat, the wooden leg of the Space Pirate , etc...
That the elf is in this set, which will be sold exclusively to VIP customers (sign up, it's free anyway...), makes perfect sense to me. But as for the other four minifigures, I wonder what they're doing there... Out of the three series of 16 minifigures each, totaling 48 minifigures, all the voters supposedly chose these... I'm skeptical. No Zombie (series 1) , no Spartan Warrior (series 2) , or Robot (series 1)?
In short, as shown in the picture this set will be available mid 2012 and by then LEGO will tell VIP customers how to buy this not-so-collector's pack via the newsletter.
