I would love to buy those as mini figures on their own, but not with scenes. I already have way too many things to display, so mini figures would be perfect, as I would be able to see all their characters and display them at the same time without looking like I am a 25-year-old-child, full of toys over the house. I also think my husband may draw a line on having full sets of lego while we don't have kids yet. I already collect vinylmations and Doctor Who titans vinyl figures (plus my collection of Pandora, Trollbeads, Faerybeads, Hobbit beads and other beads in general; but at least those all reside in a huge Trollbeads jewellery box when I am not wearing them, so my 300 plus beads don't look like hoarding. lol), I also pre-ordered the Big Chief Sherlock and Watson signed action figures, so I really am running out of possible display space. http://www.brickdisplaycase.com has really nice looking display cases for lego mini figures, much better than the ones lego has for sale IMO. They look good enough to go with the rest of my modern decor. They are a bit on the pricey side, but I am a selective collector because of my limited space, so I always search a long time to find a good display solution for my collections (for my DW Titans and my vinylmation I ordered display cases from the Container Store in the USA, even though shipping to Germany was prohibitive they were the best solution I have found so far that are not custom built). Soo, to sum it up: I would most certainly buy Sherlock lego figures, but PLEASE consider selling them on their own instead of just in sets, i am sure many other collectors would love that as well. From the pictures, I would want ALL of them.

I went to their website yesterday and paid for the first instalment for both the figures. They have a payment plan where you can pay for them in 4 instalments, which is amazing and the only way that I could afford them before they sold out, as I only found out about them less than a week ago! I e-mailed Big Chief and asked them how many of the signed pairs were left and got this reply: "We have around 50 pairs still available right now. The sales have been steady for these so you should be fine until next week, but I would not leave it too much longer if you would like a pair." I didn't want to risk not getting the signed versions, so I made the first payment already. They only ship after all payments are made, which of course is smart on their part, but the dolls are still on pre-order at the moment, so I have no idea when people that already paid for them completely will start receiving them. I hope it is around the same time I finish paying for mine. I am utterly in love with those dolls and it seems like a dream I managed to pre-order one of the autographed pairs! The only Sherlock Holmes doll I have is not a Ben doll, it is a little thinkers Sherlock doll I bought at the Sherlock Holmes museum in 2010, he sits on my bookshelf nearby my Sherlock Holmes books.
