sunhuntin Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 Yes, the HP ones drew me in as well, quickly followed by the Disney range, excluding Frozen. Now I just want the Santa set, and thats it, unless something else must-have comes out. Quote
Robert8 Posted December 25, 2018 Posted December 25, 2018 There are pics of a new character from TLM2 who seems to be a BrickHeadz. His name is Zen Bunny Quote

They didn't look all that interesting to me, and I couldn't imagine wanting to have them on display. Fast forward to the Harry Potter Brickheadz which I really love, figured I'd pick them up after Skærbæk this year. No such luck, Ron & Dumbledore all gone, and marked as out of stock/sold out at S@H too. Took me by surprise, since at the local shops Brickheadz have looked like shelf warmers that end up at sale. Hopefully they will be back in stock. Kinda funny that I'm able to pick up Black Widow from the first series (IMO the best of series 1), but not get a hold of many of the new ones... I've also found that building Brickheadz have an oddly therapeutic effect, even more so than regular LEGO sets. So if anyone still haven't built their first Brickheadz I would recommend giving them a chance. It was go brick me that got me in. I’ve never been a fan of static collectables like funko pops etc. So wanted to skip the theme. I got a captain America (cause I love Cap) and a Hulk (was on clearance) but it was go brick me that really grabbed me, the possibilities and building techniques, being able to build myself, it got me and my girlfriend hooked. Skip forward 6 months and we’ve got nearly 40 Brickheadz between us, plus 5 copies of go brick me... Quote

Speaking of non-licensed Brickheadz, how would you feel about official Brickheadz caricatures of various, select Collectable Minifigure archetypes from past Series? 17 hours ago, Robert8 said: There are pics of a new character from TLM2 who seems to be a BrickHeadz.

I’d like that. LEGO could find a lot of success with their own home-brewed characters. For example, Brick Beard or Johnny Thunder - they should make the most of their own characters. Quote
Whovastron Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 Just had a look on Shop@Home (U.K.) all the Brickheadz that have been listed as out of stock are now retired. Including all the ones released only in October! The prices they’re going for on amazon and eBay are also insane. So gutted I never picked up Marty and Doc, I had so many chances. Luckily I got a lot of the ones I wanted, but still haven’t got ghostbusters, nightmare before Christmas, or Mickey and Minnie. It seems that this line may indeed be dead then if they’re retiring them all like that. Quote

Really wanted Mickey and Minnie :( Quote
dvt Posted January 11, 2019 Posted January 11, 2019 en-US still has Mickey, Minnie, Jack & Sally, and Ghostbusters as all "out of stock" not retired. My local store as well has these in and out of stock and continues to get shipments in. Quote

A lot of these have only been on shelves for 2/3 months. It sucks that nothing past the early summer wave has been seen outside of Lego stores. Quote

I was hoping as well that the latest BrickHeadz will pop up outside the Lego stores - only Harry & Hedwig and Owen & Blue made it other stores here in Austria. Quote
ndawgg Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 I wanted Mickey and Minnie too. I had no idea they’d disappear so quickly! Quote
Modeltrainman Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 It's sad that Brickheadz seem to be ending...I hope it's not true. I guess no Toy Story ones, after all. At least my Up house is gaining support! Quote

Modeltrainman Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 I mean, at least LEGO wants my money. Not like Disney cancelling my favorite game ever...But, I digress. Not sure why they went full throttle for 2 years on BH, only to seemingly cut the line... Quote
dvt Posted January 14, 2019 Posted January 14, 2019 (edited) I spoke with employees at my local LEGO store (USA based) about Brickheadz and they only have upcoming 2019 on the roadmap. All 2018 brickheadz have been sold out from their physical store and they will not be getting more of any 2018 characters/models. Edit: basically saying that now *looks* like USA is matching other locales for stopping the random licenses that they seem to be getting. Edited January 14, 2019 by dvt Quote

Whovastron Posted January 15, 2019 Posted January 15, 2019 Mickey is £50 on eBay, makes me real sad Quote
HawkLord Posted January 18, 2019 Posted January 18, 2019 I’ve seen the Clown, Dragon, and Dog at the Lego store. They also had a couple of the season-based ones from last year on clearance. The only licensed ones the Lego store here has is Leia. Glad I got Marty/Doc for clearance $15. Quote
TWRAddict Posted January 19, 2019 Posted January 19, 2019 (edited) User brewemj on Brickset has said that he spoke with an employee at the Leicester Square store and Sheffield store, who confirmed the line is indeed ending. Existing stock and the seasonal 2019 models will be sold, but that is it. Edited January 19, 2019 by TWRAddict Quote

If what you have told me is true, you will have earned my trust. awful shame though, I thought it really got into its groove last year. There’s so many lines they could have done; Lego movie 2, overwatch, Doctor Who, wizard of oz, Jurassic Park, toy story, avengers 4, Spider-Man, Shazam. The issue is that they just didn’t get the distribution that funko does, that’s probably due to so many retailers getting shelf warmers in 2017, so not ordering for 2018. But that’s just due to bad character choice in 2017. If they’d gone straight in with Star Wars, I bet it would have sold better. Quote

Scooby-Doo, Adventure Time, The Powerpuff Girls, Middle-earth, Doctor Who, and so much more! Edited January 19, 2019 by MatthewRC Quote
Whovastron Posted February 2, 2019 Posted February 2, 2019 So it seems that the line is not dead after all. Pics of Lego Movie 2 Brickheadz are in the usual places. Emmet, Lucy, Sweet Mayhem and Benny Quote
