71012 LEGO Disney Collectible Minifigures Series

As expected, the series of 18 collectible Disney minifig sachets (LEGO reference 71012) is available on the LEGO Shop and in the LEGO Stores.

The price of the bag at LEGO is set at 2.99 € and it is possible to order up to ... 16 bags on the LEGO Shop while the series has 18 different characters. Probably an error on the part of the trainee who forgot to modify the maximum quantity of sachets that it is usually possible to order on the series of minifigs which have 16 different characters.

Note that this does not change much: By ordering 16 or 18 bags individually from LEGO, you have very little chance of obtaining all the characters of the series concerned and you will not escape to a few duplicates. As the manufacturer indicates in the product description, LEGO sells "surprise" bags ...

For those who would like to group together and order a box of 60 sachets (LEGO reference 6138967), I remind you that each box contains three complete series and a few doubles.

For its part, FNAC sells these sachets individually for 3.99 € ...

As usual, if you come across a good plan, don't hesitate to share it in the comments.

Update : The limit on the number of Disney minifigs that can be ordered in one shot on the LEGO Shop increased to 20.

No trace of this polybag on the current LEGO Shop promotions page where only the First Order Stormtrooper is offered to customers for any order of LEGO Star Wars products equal to or greater than € 55.

If you could get this First Order General in one of the other French LEGO Stores, do not hesitate to indicate it in the comments.

On the occasion of the launch of its promotional operation "May the Fourth", LEGO organized this morning in its official stores a mini-VIP event accessible only by invitation.

For any purchase of at least € 125 in products from the LEGO Star Wars range, each participant received the exclusive set 6176782 Escape the Space Slug. An exclusive poster on the theme of Battle of Hoth was also offered to guest customers.

This limited edition mini-set was produced in exactly 3500 copies. 28 sets were planned for each of the brand's 125 official stores around the world.

Many beneficiaries already have put their copy on eBay. No minifig in the box to accompany the 161 pieces that allow you to build the micro-stage. This set does not bear any official LEGO reference.

Two versions of the box are currently in circulation: Due to a legal obligation, the number of pieces delivered in this set is printed on the box of the version distributed in the USA and Canada. The box of the European version does not bear this indication.

Update : Assembly instructions are available in PDF format at this address.
