Anybody else wondering what the figure in this set will be? The LEGO Friends and LEGO City activity books like this one tend to include between 10 and 15 pieces, , so obviously I don't expect a full Mixel. Nor do I expect anything that uses exclusive decorations like the Nixel general, since these sorts of books all tend to use existing parts. But that still leaves a lot of options open. It could be a Nixel we've seen, or even one we haven't. Or it could be some type of "mini-Mixel".

[...] Then, they can build the included figurine to Mix, Max, and Murp!

I doubt that it's gonna be a Nixel, given the description encouraging Mixing. Maybe it's because they're trying to keep the figure a secret, but I don't see why, and if it really was a Nixel they would have had the product description reflect that. Mini-Mixel seems more likely.

EDIT: Amazon France has a listing for another activity book that states explicitly that it comes with two buildable figures, and a title that implies that these figures will be a Mixel and a Nixel. No picture though. Its price is slightly higher than the Amazon.fr price for the other activity book with figure, but looking at the prices for other activity books with minifigs (like Chima's), which are all over the place, I don't think the price indicates much at this point.

I haven't been able to find any of series two in the shops yet. I really want Flurr and Tentro.

Maybe I'll have to order online...

Does anyone know when the third series launches?

I think the date given at Toy Fair was September, so they'll probably start showing up in August.

I finally got myself a set of Mixels. :D I bought the Frosticons + an extra Slumbo to keep stock in case I decide to ...Max them? I think it's called.

So far I've built Slumbo, and he's pretty nifty. I like 'em.

Though, I'm kind of disappointed that lego is retiring 'em. It seems like most of the stores I go to has Series 2 now, so I'm gonna have to start searching high and low to get the Series 1 guys. (A friend found a series 1 set on eBay for like $80. :S )

Shoot. Maybe I've been waiting too long. I didn't expect them to phase them out, for some reason. I need to start collecting Series 1 Mixels while I can...

I still see Series 1 out and about. TRU, predominantly. Though I imagine that won't be the case for long if they're starting to phase out elsewhere.

I checked, and most of the Series 2 Mixels are out of stock in France. Maybe you have the same issue in the Netherlands.

All the Series 2 Mixels are also practically out of stock in S@H UK too, which leads me to believe that the European warehouse that supplies S@H products has pretty much run dry of Mixels. They sold out extremely quickly there, I'm quite surprised by that. Testament to how popular the Mixels are perhaps?

Got some Series 2 Mixels yesterday. I picked up Slumbo, Gobba and Tentro. Gobba seems to be my current fave of the 3 I've bought. I've made some mixes with them and my Series 1 Mixels

I think when I get 3 from Series 3 I only do one mix of all 9 of them. I don't want to wear down the bricks constantly taking them apart and mixing them. I'd rather do that in LDD.

The brick contents of the Mixels activity book have been revealed. Just a pair of Nixels. I suppose this isn't too bad, as Nixels are supposed to have strength in numbers, so having duplicate Nixels is hardly a problem.

Posted

Well, getting more Nixels is always fun, but I don't like how they have two of the same Nixel rather than one of two different designs, especially since it looks like we're only ever gonna get the three variations that have been there since Series 1.

I hope they have spare pieces.
