I'd love to be able to just buy the Marvel/DC figures separately.

In-house themes still use yellow skin minifigs, it's only licensed stuff that use flesh colored minifigs.

They sell individual minifigs online, and though they're priced quite high, it's much better than buying the extremely high priced sets nowadays.

Bricklink is one of the best sources of cheaper minifigs. Their sellers are top notch and prices beat the ridiculous ones on eBay. Only problem is you'll have to play around with sellers to get cheaper shipping and it still doesn't entirely negate the fact that Lego can be more expensive than even Toku toys.

I simply adore Character Building! I love it enough to make it my main priority in Doctor Who merchandise. The blind bags are a serious pain though, they're far more difficult than the Lego ones to feel in-package due to the lack of accessories and the storekeepers always stare at me because the main places to find them here in Australia are the rather small ABC Shops (nowhere to hide). Do you have any tips on better luck? The only ones I can guarantee are Daleks due to their distinctive shape.

Did you get the 11 Doctor's Set? Was over-priced here, but it's my favorite thing from the whole line yet. There's no other way to get the great Classic Doctors like the 3rd Doctor.



For those intending to find this great set, should also mention that it comes in a sweet box:
