About Series 10 Minifigures

Why collectors talk about Series 10

Every Collectible Minifigures series has its favourites, but Series 10 has something the earlier waves did not: a chase figure. Mr. Gold (71001-19) is finished entirely in gold and was limited to 5,000 pieces worldwide. He was packed in the same sealed bags as the regular figures, so finding him depended on luck. That scarcity turned him into one of the most sought-after minifigures of all, and it still shapes how people approach completing this particular series.

The regular line-up

Beyond Mr. Gold, the wave follows the familiar mix. The Decorator (71001-15) has the most parts at 9, and the Roman Commander (71001-3) shares second place with Mr. Gold at 8. The Librarian (71001-1), Warrior Woman (71001-4), Bumblebee Girl (71001-7), Grandpa (71001-8) and Paintball Player (71001-9) each have 7 parts. The Librarian and Grandpa slot neatly into town builds, the Paintball Player into a leisure or sports scene, and the Warrior Woman and Roman Commander into historical displays.

Links to other waves

The Roman Commander is a natural partner for the Roman Soldier from Series 6, and together they make a good start on a Roman scene. Series 10 is numbered 71001, directly after Series 9 at 71000. If you are sorting through loose figures, the parts list for each entry shows exactly which pieces make up the complete character, which is especially useful for telling a genuine figure apart from a mix of spare parts.

Completing the wave

Building a full set of Series 10 is a different task from completing earlier waves, because Mr. Gold is so scarce. Many collectors gather the regular figures first and treat him as a separate, longer-term search.
