I have to agree. I'd like to see a German/Bavarian with lederhosen and the right
hat.
Talking about that, a Frenchman would be easy to do. For other nationalities I
dont know how easy they are to make.

Also, using some star wars "hood" it is possible to make a monk, a fransiscaner.

Imagine that in brown.

A scout? I am just wondering that there are several colours and versions - there
is no good stereo type for such figue.

Hi

Is there a list of barcodes of these series, so I can pick those I want, avoid
those I do not want?

Amazon.com is currently giving a 22% discount on the Unofficial LEGO Minifigure Catalog. You can now order it for only 69 USD. I am not sure how long this offer will last and I have no control over it. So, use your chance now!

I have been working on a new system of categorizing LEGO Minifigures and I would
like to invite you to discuss this new taxonomy with me at

By a quick count at BrickLink, I found 235 “iffy” minifigs-- But I knowingly skipped Fabuland, Jack Stone, Technic, Belville, Scala, Galidor, and Bionicle. Knowing the above, I’d guess it’d be in the ballpark of 300-500 borderline minifigs?

Yes and no-- I’m not in Europe, but I’d of course be happy to see such an endeavor, especially if the logistics are handled well. For instance, will they be kept in a searchable online database? How will they relate back to years of release and sets? How will it be maintained going forward? Will it denote differences in part variation (like hollow/solid stud head, torso design, arm design, etc)?

I’ve got an extensive collection, although it’s not overly distinctive from other people’s in Europe. I’m sure it’s easier for you to find (say) BlackTron figures or ResQ figures in Europe. I expect my value added would be in the few “special” minifigs I own, like the Red Sox promotional figure pictured above.

Do you have a catalog of “missing” figures that you KNOW are missing, and/or a catalog of figures that you already have?

DaveE

You are right, it is easier to try to find collectors in Europe and I am working hard on it. Maybe you know some as well? I will try to call one in NL on Monday and I will know more. Thank you for your offer to contribute specific figures! I will come back to it!
