Top 10 Retired LEGO Minifigure Pieces!

I list 10 LEGO Minifigures pieces that have been made obsolete for one reason or another, from various themes like LEGO Star Wars, LEGO Harry Potter, and more. I know, the topic is incredibly niche, but it was fun to research...

COMMENT RULES:
1) No number spam (as in 1st, 2nd, 3rd, etc). This is annoying and usually has NOTHING to do with the video.
2) No advertising your channel or giveaways. That's not the right way to get viewers.
3) Don't be offensive. I'm keeping this one vague for a reason.
4) Don't spoil movies that just came out in theaters (as in, within a one month window).
5) No politics or religious discussion.
I'll remove any comments that break these rules.
If it's super bad, you'll be banned. Thanks, and that's all!

I’m glad LEGO brought back the old crocodile head for Killer Croc for the LEGO Batman Movie. Addition: I believe the original Gungan head mold used in 1999 is the same mold as the modern redesign, just with added printing.

[@silasfloyd5511]

I miss the old Boba and Jango helmet. Something about them. They just looked so good back then.

[@ThisIsTeeKay]

No, LEGO definitely still uses renders. I don't know what decides whether or not they photograph a set or create it in CG, but Ideas sets and CMF images are basically always renders. Brickheadz are renders too!

[@animatorax]

I miss #2.. I always thought that the cowl gave me a nostalgia vibe from the original Batman line (which I was really happy when they re-introduced it in the 2012!).. Still, it bothers me a little bit that they keep swapping the new cowls on different sets, or how they used it in BvS sets... Great video! :D

Another retired Minifigure piece is the LEGO Star Wars Snowtrooper headgear. It used to be a huge chunk of plastic up until 2014 where a newer, detailed piece was released, where the backpack attached from the neck. The old piece came out in 2003 in the AT-AT and the last set it appeared in was in 2013 in The Battle of Hoth. The new piece came out in the AT-AT of 2014.

[@MachinexMinifigs]

just2good you're welcome!

[@makutamiserix5612]

The newest minifig head piece doesn't have the 3 holes in the top. Those holes were designed so that if a kid choked on the piece, they would still be able to breathe. Does Lego want kids to choke now? Also, a huge piece replacement is the green brick separator to the new orange one. The green one was super hard to get, only appearing in a rare polybag. The newer one comes in basically any set with over 500 pieces. The older one was designed to be comfortable in the hand, and could only separate bricks from the top and bottom. The newer one can do the same, but can also push out technic pins or axles, and can pry off plates just like the existing crowbar piece.

[@hakanstorsater5090]

The green one was also made in gray, which I believe was actually a slightly more common color, at least in Europe. (The green separator appeared in a couple of more sets than the polybag, though, there's also a green version of the modern orange separator which is fairly rare.)

[@makutamiserix5612]

Did the old green/gray one come inside sets, like the new orange one?

[@hakanstorsater5090]

Not too regularly. It occasionally appeared in Basic (comparably to modern Classic) and Dacta (limited distribution educational) sets. www.bricklink.com/catalogItemIn.asp?P=6007&in=S

[@evanredacted7977]

The green one is super rare? I think I have 2.

[@hakanstorsater5090]

@Anti-Matter87868 See my answer above. Although I lack a green one, I have something like 4-6 gray ones.

[@reido387]

I heard from people that it's going to be an "evergreen" theme like star wars, meaning new sets every year

[@coraldiamond1922]

dan coster Yea. I was kinda expecting them to continue to do it for a few years. It’s so successful it makes sense to. Plus there is plenty of content that they can produce sets based on. I know there is nothing official on it continuing yet but if sales are anything to go by then I can see us getting more next year. Let’s hope anyway.

[@protozoalord]

The pupils were molded on some lego heads because they took inspiration from classic sculpting techniques especially from greek statues where on an unpainted, one color piece, they had to show the detail somehow, and just went with sculpting. It works way better on a larger scale.

[@just2good]

Interesting observation!

[@ToTheMaxGaming1]
