I've just seen the article on the BBC news website regarding all of this. All I can do is shake my head in disbelief that it's even been brought up. My five year old got into Lego a year or so ago. His imaginative play has been a wonder to witness. From taking sets apart and 'improving' them, to creating his own custom minifigs......all this and he it's not caused him to rob a bank (yet). I'm shocked that 'people' have actually found anything negative to say about Lego with regards to the development of young children. I'm in utter disbelief as the TV pumps out 24 hour a day news coverage from places like Syria etc. Strange world we live in today.

I've had a look at pricing over the last couple of days and the price would would £1-£2 each minifig. That's a heck of an investment in a large collection. I'd be interested in looking into decals if anyone can point me in the right direction on where to actually start please. I think the cost may be justified if it looked spot on but I don't think I'd be doing all of them in one go!

I've also got a move coming up. All of my minifigs are now framed and the idea was to place them all in boxes with plenty of bubble wrap. It wasn't until I've recently had all the frames together that I had a "I'm gonna need a bigger boat" moment. I'm sure most collectors struggle with moving Lego and settle with good solid boxes and lots of bubble wrap.

Hi Everyone. Does anyone have any ideas where to order names plates for minifigs? I have all of my Star Wars minifigs on shelves within frames. I'd like to have name plates beneath each minifig with the name and year of that particular minifig. I've seen it done on the odd YouTube Video and I kinda like the look of it. I have around 250 Star Wars minifigs but if the cost is ok I'll extend it to my Batman minifigs and Marvel ones also. Thanks, Paul

Thanks for the replies. I'll look forward to getting involved as much as possible.

Hi, Sorry, I'm not sure what you're asking. If you're asking for photographs, you can find a few of my minifig collections on my sons YouTube channel Thanks for the reply Paul

Hi everyone, I'm one of those that has browsed a lot but I think now is the time to become a member. My main Lego interest began as Star Wars, however when my wife began collecting the CMF series, minifigs became an obsession ( that and the lack of space for larger sets ). My son uses the collections on his You Tube Chanel ( Lego Views , if you're interested in seeing some minifigs ). I'll be leaving the Isle of Wight soon and I'm looking forward to going to a few brick shows in the near future. I'm going to carry on watching 'The Force Awakens' for the zillionth time now ........ Thanks, Paul
