Some LEGO games are expansive voyages built on exciting properties. This is not one of those games.
No, if you put LEGO Star Wars at one end of the spectrum, LEGO Minifigures Collector would be at its polar opposite. It’s a slot/poker machine game that has you trying to match up the three correct body parts of an official LEGO minifig. And that’s it!
Match one up and you’ll earn the right to add it to your virtual LEGO minifig collection, where it can sit in your virtual closet. If this sounds incredibly basic, remember, it’s LEGO: watching these things spin around and around, only to match a colonial British head with pink leather pants, is funnier than it should be when they’re LEGO leather pants.
And if that doesn’t cut it for you, try and think of it as a statement on the tedium and futility of obtaining random toys (which these particular minifigs actually are in real life). A lot of sitting around, a lot of waiting and a lot of luck, just to get something you never really wanted before you got it. And now you’ve got it, you can’t really do much with it!
