We thankfully got the minifigs down
we go to the Lego store near our house and can pick out the figs we want when going through packs. One thing some of you might want to ask for at your Lego store is the minifig display set. The employees set them next to us so that we can compare with the real set and we know what to look for. They are very nice and helpful. We've gotten to the point where we stay a little bit later and help other people get the figs they want. A couple of tips for the hard figs.
Aztec - feel for his helmet, it is huge and has a staircase feel to it. The staircase splits. It's pointy consistently.
Space Marine - The bulkiest of all the packs. Look for his huge shoulder/chest piece. And then feel out his perfectly round helmet with a slit in it.
Hippie - your whole index finger can slide in his head/helmet
Rocker Girl - Look for a V, that's her guitar.
Programmer - Look for a perfect rectangle with no pegs. That's his suitcase
Evil Knight - his shield bends. It feels like an oval or a thick piece of paper that can almost feel like plastic from a credit card which can bend.
Viking Lady - her helmet feels round and pointy but feel it down and it makes a upside down V, those are her pigtails attached to her helmet.
Bunny Costume - DON'T LOOK FOR THE CARROT AT FIRST! You will end up with sea king or programmer or even tennis player. Feel for his helmet with ears. It is not flimsy but very thick. And the ears have a curve that might make you think it's a Viking lady, however her pigtails are thin and flat. His ears are curved and thick. Then if your still not sure look for thE carrot that feels more like a torch or even pickle
Red Riding Hood - the easiest of te bunch when you look for her basket. It is made of rubber. If you feel like your squeezing a gummi bear or a Hello kitty type eraser that's it.
Don't make the same time wasting mistake I was doing, always looking for the helmet first. Look for those key components and you'll have a easier time.
I hope it helps save $3 bucks
