Ladies and Gentlemen~~~~!!!!

Disclaimer....I dont collect lego though I played it also when I was younger. I am quite impressed with their efficiency bringing in these minifigures like non-stop in the recent years.

Geobra honestly has done great job giving us the DS-ified big barrel, windmill and other cool classic stuffs. But why did they lie stating the fillers for the export markets are BY POPULAR DEMAND?? Hope they can bring the cool klickies back through the DS or blisters.

Wow! I totally agree!!! Nice looking fellow, isn't he!

Would love to see more PM Klickies for sale, especially the lady in 5302 bath set, the grandparents of 5302 and all of the ethnic Klickies. It is so hard getting my favorite Klickies because so most of the sets are priced quite high, and that is the only piece I want out of many sets. (Lego USED to have this problem BEFORE Collectables came out! They finally wised up to how well these minifies would sell and have sold a zillion in less than 2 years.)

(These Collectables #5 look great! Not in our local Lego Store yet. I collect the women and prefer light flesh bodies, which are hard to find because they are only in the movie series sets like Harry Potter, Indiana Jones, etc. Set #4 had a lovely red Geisha girl. It is tricky finding the right minifig by touch, but possible sometimes. She had an unusual shape kimono bottom, so it was easy. It would be much better if L would just tell us which one is in which package because most folks only want certain ones.)

The next question should be: a top ten list for your favorite Klickies that PM should sell individually as collectables. Guess we'll have to start a new thread; bb: if you set it up, I'll be glad to give it a go. Thanks, Pgal

Looking at these figures, I don't get why someone (besides young kids) would want to collect Lego-figures. They're awfully ugly...
Much too small (in height they only come to the hips of a Playmobil-Klicky) and much too square... they just look like some Lego-brick with a yellow "head" an a pair of arms put on.
As a kid, I liked Lego for the building capabilities but I allways threw the figures away.

Ok the english guard , Kleopatra, the lumberjack, the gladiator, Shrlock holmes, Playmobil has already done these!!! So obviously these were copied from the playmobil specials... they look quite good... one more proof that lego looks after their collectors! but also that they are copying desings.

Good points! The shorter size of L minifies is a definite drawback. But L minifies have many more hairstyles, facial features, leg, arm, hat, color, and clothing choices than do PM, and they are much easier to collect. Too bad PM can't copy some of these L features for Klickies and make them easier to collect and modify.

PM Klicky availability is too low to satisfy demand that exists now, much less expanded demand. Check minifig parts and complete figures for sale on Bricklink to get an idea of their prices and wide availability. L used to put only one or two minifies in the larger sets and finally learned that folks expect at least 6 minifies in a $100US set.

The 5302 mansion should have at least 6 people in it besides those in the separate room sets. It has only two. I am going to like it a lot because I spent over $100US to purchase at least 6 other room kits. But it would be nice to have more people to play with in such a large mansion.

Cheers, Pgal

not to defend Lego, but these figures came out before Playmobil's surprise bags...

i don't think PM is copying lego...they're both just running out of ideas (remember, great minds think alike) - it's like saying playmobil copied lego's Egyptian theme

... it's like saying playmobil copied lego's Egyptian theme

You know, I never saw this theme here in greece....

What happened to those figures in a similar vein that were posted a while back? They had us all salivating as there was at least 1 klicky we all wanted.

They're going to be released worldwide in.... August? I think it's August. But it's all over the world at the same time!
