8683 Minifigures Series 1

8683 Minifigures Series 1 is a set released in 2010. It is, like all sets in the theme, a collection of sixteen exclusive minifigures, many of which were based on concepts never seen before their release.
==Description==
Each minifigure was sold individually in opaque polybags and came with a selection of accessories, a special display stand, and a paper checklist. The packaging was intended to make the minifigure a person bought random, however, it was quickly noticed that the barcodes on the back could identify the contents. The barcode was thus removed from Series 3 onwards. 
LEGO initially underestimated the demand that these minifigures would create, particularly in the United States. While stocks were often plentiful in European stores, the minifigures were in extremely limited supply in other territories and shops would often sell out their small allotments within a day. Later series' redressed this issue, but Series 1 remains a highly sought-after item because of these problems.
