Frankenstein's Monster BrickHeadz available now
Posted by Huw,
The 111th BrickHeadz, 40422 Frankenstein's Monster is now available at LEGO.com for £9.99 / $9.99.
Also, in the USA, sets that were previously gifts with purchase, including 30624 Obi-Wan Kenobi - Collectable Minifigure and 40186 Year of the Pig, have been added there too. View them on our what's new at LEGO.com in the USA listing.
In the UK, 75283 Armored Assault Tank (AAT) is back in stock and tomorrow 75290 Mos Eisley Cantina will be available. We'll remind you again then!

I'm thinking this one may sell out fast like the scarecrow did last year.
Wish Kenobi could be available elsewhere too. I have one in a polybag but want one I can open to stand with my other 20th figures
So, yet more USA-specific releases, after assuring us there wouldn't be any more region-specific releases?
Franky boy still listed as ‘Coming Soon’ on the AU store...

Probably as the US has had a bit of hard time lately with stock / delayed releases. So it’s a customer relation exercise.
Is the 40423 Halloween hayride going to be available in Europe?
still nothing on Yoda's Lightsaber i see . . . really hoping it doesn't turn out to be "GWP but only if you spend $$$ on Mos Eisley" :(

These were both freely available last year. If you missed out on them both at that time, then that's on you.
It's likely both sets were part of a warehouse find and so LEGO decided to release them in the most commonsense region - the one where the warehouse is located.
This Obi wan fig could be a really good sign. Before Lego wouldn’t have sold a set called “_____ minifigure” because of licensing issues, but I wonder if that has changed? If so, we could see a CMF series at some point.
75290 will soon be (or already is) close to 75192 in my mind, as two of the more easy set numbers to remember, as I can't afford them both.
I’ve been happy to see a selection of polybags available for purchase on the French site. I hope this remains a regular feature and all polybags become available this way.
I’m not going to buy it.
I do like Brickheadz, but I’ve never seen the movie and his head looks too tall.
Do sets usually got on sale at midnight? Trying to decide if it’s worth staying up till then tonight to get the Cantina.

They're USA specific after being available gwps in the entire globe last year. I don't think that quite qualifies. This isn't a release, this is the dregs.
Still just coming soon down here :(
Bought 2. One as a potential gift and one to keep for investment.
Enough with Frank! Give us the Creature!
@LegoRobo:
SDCC launched the theme with at least two 2-packs, and got at least one more 2-pack the following year. There were a ton of Brickheadz two years ago that got burned off as soon as they hit store shelves (the weekend _before_ their street date, the LEGOLAND booth at Brickworld Michigan had all of the new Brickheadz sets on clearance, including Mickey/Minnie, Luke/Yoda, etc.). There were LEGO Movie 2 sets that were exclusive to Target or Walmart. There have been some oddball ones like the Wonder Woman (or Wonder Girl?) build that they ran at LEGO Stores from PaB cups. They've done DC (including The LEGO Batman Movie), Star Wars, Ninjago, a few years of Holiday builds, Marvel, and a whole bunch of fringe themes that often only got one 2-pack, or a pair of singles (PotC, Nightmare Before Christmas, Ghostbusters, Frozen, The Incredibles, Jurassic World, etc.), and they've even done three generic packs (the Bride, the Groom, and that really big one that could build a paper-white Brickheadz). There's even an Inside Tour Brickheadz from one year, which really thumbs the nose at collectors who were trying to keep up with the entire run. It's been a busy theme for sure.
Germany - quarter past midnight - cantina still not available for VIP ... will wait for another half an hour

His forehead is supposed to be large- it’s an iconic part of Karloff’s portrayal.
Now for Lon Chaney Phantom (Hopefully). That'd be fun.
Funny how in the US Ben Kenobi is cheaper than a CMF and comes with a much fancier stand.
@Norikins:
If he was a CMF, they would have created a new hairstyle, a new hilt, and a new tapered blade. Maybe even a new, more accurate cloak.

Open the one you have......
If this were The Bride of Frankenstein, I would totally buy it. She's my absolute favourite of the classic monsters. I do like it however, and I REALLY am hoping they continue with the Universal Monsters theme in the future. Maybe as sets?
