BrickList: Minifig Magnet Sets - Glued vs Not Glued

Minifig Magnet Sets - Glued vs Not Glued

Here is a guide to the various minifig magnet sets, showing which ones are not glued to the base and which ones are glued to the base.

Since I like collecting minifigs, I was thinking it might be helpful to start a Bricklist of the minifig magnet sets and have them listed by those that have removeable minifigs and those that have glued minifigs. The reason this idea came up was I had set #852948-1 (Female Minifigure Magnet Set) still on card and I was thinking about getting rid of it (I had no use for the minifigs if they were glued to their magnetic bases). Once I found out the minifigs could be removed, I changed my mind and decided to keep this set.

Since then I've thought about getting other magnet sets, but I found it difficult to find out exactly which ones are glued and which ones aren't. I thought a Bricklist would not only help me, but other minifig collectors as well.

Thanks to Farmer_John and akunthita I learned a little something about these magnet sets. Basically anything before 2011 is not glued, while anything after is glued. There is apparently some overlap with some sets that were sold both ways. When in doubt, the later sets state on the backside that the minifigs are not detachable.

Thanks to thebrickblogger for having a list which I was able to base this Bricklist on:
http://thebrickblogger.com/2011/06/glued-and-non-glued-lego-magnets/

I hope this Bricklist is helpful to the minifig collectors out there.
If you know of a set that should be included, or a set that needs updating, please contact me.

Updated 12/15/2011 - 852947-1 has been confirmed as now being glued (via thebrickblogger.com).

Updated 02/26/2011 - sets 852742 LEGO Holiday Magnet and 853353 Holiday Scene Magnet are confirmed as not glued
