Lego Keeps Making Awesome Mini-Figures You’ll Never See

Damn you, Lego. I didn’t think the Danes were a cruel people, but Lego has just released pics of series 4 or their awesome mini-figure line, and I still haven’t seen a single figure from series one or two anywhere. Anywhere! So while I may be super-excited at the thought of owning a Lego Werewolf, Lego Frankenstein, Lego Geisha, Lego Swashbuckler, Viking, Punk Rocker, Hazmat Worker or whatever, this excitement is tempered by the knowledge that I’ll never even fucking see one. Grr. (Via 16bit)
