Just in time for fall and Thanksgiving, there’s word today that the first ever Lego turkey minifig piece will arrive in January 2009 with the $US100 Medieval Market Village set. We don’t want to go too overboard with Lego posts on Gizmodo (ok, we do), but I found it pretty amazing that, allegedly, there hasn’t been a turkey minifig piece made by Lego until now. Next step: Turducken!
Cheer up, peasant minifig man, there’s turkey to be had! [Brothers Brick]
