Not too many obvious easter eggs in the minifigures' bios this time, but I did love the waiter's quote:

“Good evening. May I recommend this fine green plastic bottle with a picture of grapes on it?”

[vastscatman]

why they didn't do the babysitter with baby?

Because that entire list of names was either a hoax or the listing for an unrelated series. Since we've got some evidence to suggest the name lists for Series 10 and Series 11 are authentic, and I highly doubt that anyone would have known about Series 12 so far in advance, I'm leaning towards thinking it was a hoax.

Before the forum broke down yesterday I had posted about how I thought this was one of the best series of these ever released. I have since realised that this series is the best by a long way. I cannot name a single minifigure as terrible. I must get them all!

[DraikNova]

I think it was confirmed somewhere that it was a hoax.

Any word on the actual price of these guys in the US?

[CircleK]

Repeat of my lost comment:

I love Love LOVE this series so far. So much so that I am ready to call it my favorite series to date. The Cyclops and Battle Mech are probably my favorite. I love the fact the the Mech has a normal fig head and helmet, rather than the one piece molds you are seeing on the Galaxy Squad Mechs. Replace the mech head with a "human" head and you can build another squad of Space Marine type figures. I am a little disapointed that the Mech doesn't come with some sort of weapon though.

[DraikNova]

The price will be like that of other series, I guess.

Are you sure? Whitefang said the priced increased for him, but I don't know if that implies that the US price will also rise.

Caeser looks a little bit like its based off Rex Harrison in the Cleopatra movie

Didn't he say that the price didn't increase?

Grape juice... Really expensive grape juice.

[Amset-Rah]

I'm loving the Waiter, Gypsy, Knight, Hollywood Starlet, and the Chicken Suit guy (Al's Toy Barn, anyone?). Maid Marion (Brave?) is neat too.

I believed the pricing will be the same for me in Singapore (assumption), I meant I have increase the rating value for pricing since it is much worthwhile to pay for these new many designs.

Yes, that is more or less how I understood it...

No, it's just what he said it was... a plastic bottle with a picture of grapes on it!

Might or might not be an intended easter egg because it's a common phrase but when I read:

“It’s all in a day’s work for this good knight!”

I instantly thought

Whoops, sorry. Misread! Good news then!

[Lordofdragonss]

The Fortuneteller could have a better face. I think it supposed to look shocked, when it looks like she is yawning :/

Ah the Bioses on site, they are so charming!

"Merida" is confirmed for Forestman lady and the Cyclops is indeed a good giant.

“Good evening. May I recommend this fine green plastic bottle with a picture of grapes on it?”

Hahaha that's hilarous quote waiter!

Not even a hoax really, it was just someone's wishlist that someone else picked up and misinterpreted.

[Shushen]

Does anyone know if this series is to be released before or after christmas?

And have anyone tried buying a box of 60 figs direct from lego or are they only sold to shops and not "civillians"?

I think previously they've had a limit on how many you can buy on their website. But if you want a case try bricklink, amazon or just get to a store before they get opened!

I lost an entire post the day of the glitch, which was more lengthy than I care to repeat.

Basically, I HATE that Lego is making several of these only 2 per box. Have they decided that only army-builders buy in bulk? I plan on buying several duplicates of Forest Maiden, Waiter, and my favorite, Fortune Teller. Having 6 per box on anything is excessive. Everything needs to be at least 3 per box! Plus, Lego sorely misjudged the desirability of what they have, especially with the Maiden.

[vastscatman]

my mom really wants the fortune teller

Nah, as others have said, LEGO being a toy for action-hungry boys, TLG limietd the icky girls and the boring mundade jobs to two... Hopefully this just a hiccup and there will be three complete sets further on.
