When it comes to collecting LEGO minifigures, the possibilities are endless. Whether you’re collecting for personal enjoyment, snapping photos for your Instagram feed, or even reselling them as an investment, there’s so much you can do with these iconic little figures.

Whether you’re a seasoned collector or just getting started, creating a themed LEGO minifigure collection can add an exciting, creative twist to your hobby. It’s a great way to spice up your Instagram posts and even increase the resale value of your collection.

Have a Theme in Mind
Before you dive into your collection, it’s essential to start with a clear idea of what you want to build. A theme can be anything from a specific LEGO series like Star Wars, Lord of the Rings, or Romance of the Three Kingdoms, to something more niche like ancient Egypt, anime characters, or even archangels. The key is to pick a theme that excites you—something that will keep you inspired as you build your collection over time. Your passion for the theme will fuel your collecting journey, making it all the more rewarding.
With your theme in mind, you’ll find it easier to follow the next steps as you build your perfect collection.
Search for Available Minifigures
Now that you’ve settled on a theme, it’s time to track down the minifigures that will bring your collection to life. Browse through our Loot A Brick catalog to find minifigs that fit your chosen theme. Who knows, we might just have that elusive character you’ve been searching for! If you can’t find the exact figure you want, consider commissioning a custom minifigure from us. There’s no limit to what you can create.
For example, if you’re building a Genshin Impact collection, you’ll want to search for key characters like Hu Tao, Furina, and Nahida. Every addition should enhance the theme you’ve set and help develop the narrative you’re aiming to tell with your collection.
Create a Display That Reflects Your Theme
Once you’ve gathered the perfect minifigures for your collection, it’s time to think about how to display them. The way you present your collection can add even more personality and depth to your theme, giving your minifigs a story to tell. For instance, in a Romance of the Three Kingdoms themed display, you could stage a scene where Cao Cao and Cao Hong are engaged in conversation, capturing the essence of their relationship from the story. The key here is to get creative with your setup, ensuring that each arrangement enhances the narrative of your theme.

And if you're looking to take it a step further, we also offer custom display cases and dioramas, so you can showcase your minifigs in a way that feels personal and unique.
