Over the Lunar New Year Weekend, LEGO announced at the New York Toy Fair that the 40th Anniversary of the Minifigure will be celebrated with the release of a special “birthday party” themed Collectible Minifigures Series 18. Release date is set to be on the 1st of April 2018 and features many costumed minifigures which are sure to excite the casual and fervent collectible all the same. Many speculate that there might be a special chaser of 1 per box of 60 but let’s hope LEGO doesn’t go down that route. Scroll down to see individual pictures of the minifigures as well as a field report picture of the insert and blind bag courtesy of Brothers Brick.
