8683 Minifigures Series 1 is a Minifigures set released in 2010. It is, like all sets in the theme, collection of sixteen exclusive minifigures, many of which are based on concepts never seen before in LEGO.

Description

Each minifigure was sold individually in opaque polybags and came with a selection of accessories, a special display stand, and a paper checklist. The packaging was intended to make the minifig a person bought random, however, it was quickly noticed that the barcodes on the back could identify the contents. The barcode was thus removed from Series 3 onwards.

LEGO initially underestimated the demand that these minifigures would create, particularly in America. While stocks were often plentiful in European stores, the minifigures were in extremely limited supply in other territories and shops would often sell out their small allotments within a day. Later series' redressed this issue, but Series 1 remains a highly sought-after item because of these problems.

Notes

  • This series introduced nine new parts
  • This series has the lowest number of female minifigures, with merely two. Series 2, 3, and 4 each have three, and Series 5 has four and Minifigures Series 6 will have five.
  • Some Series 1 parts have appeared in LEGO Store build-a-minifigure bins. [1]
  • All of the head markings of the sixteen minifigures, with the exception of the Spaceman, are available on LEGO Digital Designer, LEGO Universe mode.
  • The Zombie from this series has appeared in the videogame, LEGO Battles: Ninjago.
