Available on lego shop at home now. In fact alot of new sets are now available.

As the funky straight up builds goes for these little weirdos, I am not too interested. However, I do like the varying assortment of their equally weird parts so I will be buying them up here and there soon as I can find any. There really isn't anything to compare them with so I have no idea about actual investment other than maybe selling the individual parts on BrickLink. Admitedly, there are a couple of these buggers I do like though. Haha.

TOK, I would have thought these guys would have been right up your alley. I would say buy 1-2 and then make a decision. I bought two for my kids yesterday (Flain and Volectro) and they even surprised me - they're pretty well done for small builds. Plus at $5, the price point is good. Not sure if they're investable at MSRP, but time will tell.

I was not aware that there were 9 of these. I saw them at the lego store last week and my daughter didn't care for them. She wanted the $5 gold lego brick keychain...

Some of them such as Zorch are but not all. Either way, I do like the parts themselves all the same and more than likely planning to buy everything. My favorites as is would be the ones that give me a good laugh. :)

Well, I was at Target earlier today in the Lego aisle and overheard a mother with her son talking about these guys. I remember she asked him "You see any of those Mixel characters?". Unfortunately, they were not in stock yet which I believe will happen by March perhaps. Anywho, I stumbled across these animated shorts on Cartoon Network's Youtube channel. I had no idea they were even uploaded but here you go.

Oh, one last thing. It looks like they finally posted a complete working version of the series trailer. Some reason the other froze around twenty seconds in.

 

I just saw these today. And i couldn't bring myself to buy any (they come in those Friends collectible foil bags...or whatever it is that brickset calls them since there's no actual foil involved).

I just don't get them. C'mon Lego, what's the secret??????

What are your thoughts?

Btw: with these polybags, do you know what you buy? Or is it a surprise like with the minifigs bags?

 

Each character has its own packaging/set#, and are easily identifiable. Correct me if I'm wrong, but each case has the same number of each character, so scarcity will only be determined by demand.

Is this the same as minifigs polybags?

Does this mean, that each box of polybags has the same content?

And could I just go to a store and get all highly sought characters form a box?

Yes, the contents of each poly are predetermined and can easily be identified.  I was able to sort through them and got one complete set to list on ebay as a set, since I had them in-hand before they were available at LEGO.com  -- haven't had any nibbles yet on that listing.

 

The box I pulled them from did not seem to have an equal number of all the sets, but it's possible someone else had already grabbed a couple.

I choose you ... mixelu?

 

for shixel my nixel

These are in the Spring Lego catalog. 9 different characters for $4.99/ea.

Hope this works.  Here is a pic of the catalog page

I got a bunch of these for my kids; love 'em.

Just ran across this story. I have not paid any attention to these mixels. If they get popular it could be a nice xmas flip. Won't be buying any now but maybe worth watching.

Yeah I think they look pretty good. Should be fairly popular.

i have seen these everywhere in my area. wonder if they will sell out at xmas time?

I just posted on there an hour ago.  I think they all look like things I accidentally created with the left over bricks I have collected over the years.  I like them, and I don't like them.  I like the idea and the ball joints, I don't like the messiness. I guess what will solidify an opinion, would be if I actually get a few, and I think that is exactly what you are telling me to do, so I will have to go buy some and maybe get a Lego City Police Station, too.  That is what you are saying, no?

That is exactly what I am saying - and don't forget the City Police Station :)

I might buy a copy of each of the first series and just see what happens to them.

The cartoon these are taken from or starring in (however that was supposed to go) is mind-numbingly painful to watch as though my brain found itself lodged into a void less vacuum. As for the character builds themselves go, they are rather amusing to look upon. Dare I say good for a laugh or two. Haha. Befitting these critters with their oddball attitudes is their equally unique selection of parts in varying colors which for me is a great reason to buy them all up other than their low price that makes obtaining a complete series rather affordable and reasonable. A complete series of nine costs $44.91 with each including roughly fifty pieces so you end up with about 450 parts give or take which includes plenty of the new small ball & socket joints.

I see no problems with myself buying a couple extras of certain characters with particularly rare pieces in the future as a sort of random impulse buy since I feel as though I get more from these than the typical polybag honestly although I do love my minifigures. Anyway, I am looking very forward to the later series like number three.

I picked up three:  Zaptor, Shuff and Zorch.  Shuff is pretty solid and has some nice rock pieces.  The other two are kinda funky and have some nice rare 'flame' and 'lightening' pieces.  I was really impressed with the tiny ball and sockets.  They are pretty solid and can manage some awkward poses.  Don't know if I will collect em all, but I will get a few more.  No police station at KMart, sadly.

Some stop motion clips for these wacky weirdos.

 

Infernites MAX!

Cragsters MAX!

Electroids MAX!

And this clip is kind of like a nice slideshow of all the Mixels from Series 1-3 plus the many combinations of such.

The official images of the series 2 mixels have been revealed.

Took Lego long enough to 'officially' release images for Series 2 as we already had pics of Series 2 and 3 back in February. Course we are nearing the start of May when these are expected for release I believe. Well, soon it shall be time to snag up another collection of these critters. :shifty:
