The LEGO Minifigures series started in 2010 and has become a massive success. It’s a collectable Minifigure series referred to as blind bags. Each bag contains an opaque bag with a surprise Minifigure. You never know what you’ll get until you open the bag, which makes it an exciting experience for both kids and adults. The first collection began with 16 characters, including a Caveman, Cheerleader, Circus Clown, Zombie, Skater, Robot, among others. It was a huge success, prompting LEGO to continue releasing three collections annually in January, May, and September. The collections are based on various themes, such as Disney, The Simpsons, Ninjago, Harry Potter, DC Comics, The Muppets, and traditional characters.
In 2023, Disney will celebrate its 100th anniversary, and the LEGO Group plans to join in on the festivities. For more than 24 years, LEGO® Disney has encouraged families to unleash their creativity and build magical playgrounds using the iconic LEGO bricks. Combining storytelling, imagination, and creative play, both Disney and LEGO have provided numerous moments of joy to fans globally.
One of the exciting LEGO Disney launches we are pleased to see is the LEGO Minifigures Disney 100 (71038) blind bags. Disney enthusiasts can enjoy a collection of popular movie characters, including Sorcerer’s Apprentice Mickey, Pinocchio, Jiminy Cricket, The Queen, Stitch 626, Pocahontas, Cruella de Vil & Dalmatian puppy, Miguel & Dante, Ernesto de la Cruz, Oswald the Lucky Rabbit, Robin Hood, Prince John, Tiana, Dr Facilier, Queen of Hearts, Mulan, Aurora, and Baymax all with amazing Minifigure details.

Investment Potential
Our recent article on LEGO Minifigures Complete Set and Sealed Boxes highlighted how good an investment these can be and with there being a new launching Disney series for the Disney 100 year celebrations we thought we’d take a look at the historic Disney sets have performed since retirement.

Conclusion
There is a very strong history of Minifigures Complete Set and Sealed Boxes doing very well post-retirement and the previous Disney sets have been some of the strongest performers. We expect this season celebrating 100 years of Disney to be even more popular, and with its likely very short shelf life for retail sale we would snap them up s soon as you can!
