Did you know there are more than four billion LEGO minifigures on Earth? That’s enough to give every human on the planet half a minifigure. But wait—there’s more. Did you know that a LEGO minifigure has literally been to Jupiter? Yes, the little plastic person made it farther than your travel bucket list ever will.
In this episode, we dive deep into the incredible 50-year journey of the humble minifigure. From its blocky beginnings to becoming a pop culture icon, we’ll uncover the wild twists and turns that transformed this tiny toy into a global obsession. How did one small design revolutionize the way we look at, play with, and collect LEGO?
But that’s not all! We’re tackling the ultimate LEGO mystery: out of a staggering four billion minifigures, which one is the rarest of them all? Is it hiding in your attic? Did you accidentally trade it for a knockoff Bionicle back in the day? You’ll have to listen to the end to find out.
So, grab your favorite LEGO set, settle in, and let’s get nostalgic, nerdy, and maybe a little envious of that minifigure that went to outer space. Don’t miss it!
