unknown_user2596 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 What do you think about the CMFs in general? Do you think they are innovative and interesting (to say the least)? Personally I think they're rather neat in general, collecting them all is becoming an issue . Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Manducus Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 They're quite interesting and mostly unique. The only problem I have right now is buying the right minifig and not the wrong one, or I'll lose my 2 bucks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Meiko Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I like them all. I sound really boring when I say that I like every single one, but it's true. I think that they are quite unique, the theme has great potential, and the pieces that have been introduced in this theme are quite useful.

Vorahk1Panrahk2 Posted October 15, 2011 Share Posted October 15, 2011 I think the Minifigures are one of LEGO's best ideas in a long time. They might be a bit pricy, and collecting them can be a hassle what-with the dots/bar codes/feel methods and all, but they're so unique in parts and pieces (for the most part) that they're totally worth it. I absolutely love them and hope LEGO sticks with them for a while. Quote BZPRPG Profiles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

that guy from that show Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I love the collectible minifigures mainly for the novelty value. Were else would you get a sumo wrestler? They are hard to find but defiantly worth it, I have 9 figures from the 3rd series and my only complaint is the race car driver Quote That is all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brikman McStudz Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I love the collectible minifigs. I only have a few from Series 2 and 4, but I hope to get some from 5, maybe 6, and definitely 7. I love the uniqueness of the figures and all the new parts, but I wish they were of the same quality as regular LEGO system pieces. Quote Nothing witty about Reggie anymore.

Meiko Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 I have the whole 1st series, I think the whole 2nd series, the whole 3rd series, the majority of the 4th, and some of the 5th. I'd have to ask my brothers to confirm which ones we have and which one we don't.

Binary Code Posted October 16, 2011 Share Posted October 16, 2011 Official pictures of both Series 6 and 7 are now available on several reputable Lego newsites that BZPower has deemed unfit to mention. My interpretation of BZP's Leaked Image policy is that unless the picture come directly from Lego, they are not allowed here. Therefore I will not be posting the pictures here, though I strongly encourage everyone to seek them out, as they are NOT marked confidential, and are positively stunning. 1000101001 BC 01001010011 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nuvaguy Posted October 17, 2011 Share Posted October 17, 2011 I had seen the series 6 pictures before, but I certainly didn't expect there to be series 7 pictures yet! I'm really glad LEGO came up with this idea, though. It gives them a chance to make minifigures that don't fit into any of their themes. I think my favorite one of all time is the Gladiator. The only downside to these is that they're a little pricey. They're 4 bucks in Canada! Quote "Wuh?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GeluNumber1 Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 I have all of series 3, 4, and 5. Two from series one, and I hope to get all of the next series. After all this collecting, I still enjoy finding those minifigs. Quote Why are orange and black such a good color Combination ? Purple is pretty, and so is blue. Pink hurts your eyes, green is quite mellowing, black is very threatning, red is cool, orange is SO awesome, yellow's hard to read... But you can't see white at all! Oh, wait. I forgot brown. Here's my thoughts: If a person tells the truth and says, " I always lie," Is he lying? Or is he telling the truth? And what has a mouth, but no head, and a body, but no torso? Do caterpillars like to tend to supporting colum of stone's every need? Or is that name misleading by nature? Speaking of nature, why are the children of animals called offspring? don't many young beasts come alive in spring, and thus, should be called onspring? Heeeeeeyy.....

xccj Posted October 18, 2011 Share Posted October 18, 2011 Oh, I am a huge fan of the Collectible Minifigures. I enjoy customizing my own figs, and getting parts from the CMs is a great way to do so. Plus, so many of the figs are great designs in and of themselves. I guess I'm lucky because a local store usually gets them in stock, so I have ample chance to pick through them and feel out the parts (I'm getting really good at that). However, this has meant that I spend far too much on them. But I am still excited for the new series, and I am glad that Lego came up with this idea. (And also that they made them more availible, as compared to the first two series which were hard to come by.)

16N1K4 Posted October 23, 2011 Share Posted October 23, 2011 (edited) I think the Minifigures are one of LEGO's best ideas in a long time. They might be a bit pricy, and collecting them can be a hassle what-with the dots/bar codes/feel methods and all, but they're so unique in parts and pieces (for the most part) that they're totally worth it. I absolutely love them and hope LEGO sticks with them for a while.I agree, though they're a lot pricier here in my country compared to yours (if you do the math). Additionally, most stores here take out the fun out of guessing. They label the bags with a number corresponding to the minifigure, meaning the cool ones are unavailable oh so fast.I don't care though. I wanna collect them all!
