Brand new Minifigure characters are available at BaM (build a minifigure) Stations Worldwide and include an eclectic mix of new parts and prints.
The last lot that were available were Christmas themed and comprised of three characters including Santa in a dark red suit, click here for a quick refresher.
During a trip to see Family, I got the chance to pop into a new (for me) LEGO store, Milton Keynes. Unfortunately there weren’t any pre-made packs so I had to build them from scratch, thankfully my son, niece and nephew gave me a hand and it was done in no time at all. If you can’t get to a store then I would suggest joining several LEGO related Facebook Groups as some kind souls list new BaM packs for cost price.
The new BaM characters hit many stores 1st January 2024 and are available in most regions Worldwide. We have given them random and made-up names to make it easier to identify them, also the parts & accessories can be switched for any you like. Here is a closer look at them:

As you can see there are a lot out this time around compared to the last BaM outing, with 7 characters in total to add to the collection. I can personally see them all being quite sought-after, especially the Snowboarders jacket and head.
As with all things LEGO, nothing is set in stone, all the parts above can be swapped for entirely different bits. Genders can be switched, colour combinations can be whatever you make them, and accessories can be random. Remember to have fun and enjoy your LEGO experience.
If you like the look of these characters they are available now at most LEGO stores BaM Stations, although I would recommend phoning ahead to confirm before heading in and even getting a pack or two put by for you to avoid disappointment. You can either make them yourself or some stores conveniently bundle them into packs and are often located near the till area.
