Vintage Minifigure Collection Vol 3 Reviews
“This LEGO set appeals strongly to collectors for its diverse and historically significant minifigures, such as the Black Falcon and Bluecoat, which are complemented by a unique Cavalry Colonel, enhancing its collectibility. However, the set's authenticity takes a slight hit... More with the yellow spaceman's incorrect helmet, and the chef, while acceptable, doesn't stand out as a remarkable addition. Overall, the set offers a solid mix of figures for those focusing on historical or thematic diversity in their collections.”
“Diverse minifigure lineup, including the notable Black Falcon and Cavalry Colonel, alongside the sought-after Bluecoat. However, it slightly misses the mark with a mismatched helmet for the Yellow Spaceman and a less remarkable Chef minifigure”
