Two suspects are alleged to have broken into six Lego Bricks & Minifigs store locations across Southern California, taking collectable mini figures.
Believe it or not, the Lego sets and figurines collecting dust in your childhood bedroom could fetch a pretty penny. So pretty, in fact, that two suspects have allegedly stolen more than $100,000 in Lego merchandise from six Bricks & Minifigs stores across Southern California. The Lego reseller, which stocks mini figures, accessories and bricks, has more than 100 outlets across the U.S.
They're stealing mini figures, and those individual guys go for $500 to $600 apiece, so they're easily stolen and resold for a quick profit.' After taking several figurines from the Whittier store, she said, the man got spooked when he looked up for a second, causing the headlight he was wearing to shine on a Batman display in the store. The light cast two giant shadows of Batman on the wall, and the man jumped up and ran out.
