I support this idea. Lego can distirbute common minfigs for less(ie less
packaging.) Also it means we don't have to rely on buying several sets
including parts we don't wan't hence we buy more of the parts we do(namely
fiqures). Also good news!
Additonaly the capsuale ideas seems like a good metyhod of distribution as
you might be able to have series of minfigs as collectibles. Ie more
purchases to 'complete the series'. Also specialist outlests like Legoland
or disney could have 'targeted' machines containg appropriate 'special' fiqures.
