My kids love mini-figures! Even though it's hard to get the whole set in stores, it's so fun to collect these. I have three older boys who don't care if they end up with duplicates...in fact sometimes, that makes their play even more fun. Sure the prices are high on here, but I as the consumer decide what I'm willing to pay for a toy.

This figure and the whole series is great, high-quality, and fun to play with. They were originally hard to find at retailers like many good toys, and some people (or one person using two accounts) really need to get over that. Get one.

As a collector of Lego minifigures, I was glad to be able to purchase this one specifically (personally it reminds me of the old Incredible Crash Dummies). I'd tried finding one back when Series 1 packages were in stores, but ended up with the wrestler instead (both feel like just a minifigure without headgear or anything fancy; usually that's how I determine what's in a pack). The price I got it for was pretty decent too :)

Come on guys!!!! It's Lego, and it's a demolition dummy!!!!! that should say it all. I wanted it to complete my set of all series one... but that aside, it is just cool. more money than I would have liked to pay, but that's my fault for waiting so long to get it. At least it wasn't as expensive as the Zombie. Yikes!!!!

I am so mad about Lego's handling of the Series 1 Minifigures. I have been so excited about getting these for my son and he has been waiting to get these for months. Checking them out on the website and playing the games and printing the posters for his room. Is Lego trying to torture children by making them think they can get something and hyping it up and then not letting them even buy a full set for their household on the website!? We went to the Lego store twice (it is 30 minutes from home) to buy these because the store employee said they were in stock and when we got there none were left. My son cried both times! I went to 3 different Toys R US on 3 different occasions when they got their shipments and they sold out of them all because some fool at these stores thinks it is OK to sell them by the case and sold them all to a few people! Now when they finally become available to us on the website we can only order 5 per household!? WTF Lego! WHY doesn't lego sell them by the set or make them available in huge quantities? I spoke with a small local toy store owner today and she said Lego treats the small toy shops like garbage and sends them stuff much too late or not at all. It is these small toy stores that should get things like these minifigures first as they won't sell them by the case to adult collectors that are trying to sell them on eBay for a profit. Do not pay more than 2 bucks for these each! Amazon sellers and eBay sellers are trying to make a HUGE profit! Lego started out as a small family company and has turned into a giant corporation that seems to not care about what they were initially made for. Lego does not mean "play well" anymore it seems.
