Thank you very much. I have been reading your thoughts and it is truly encouraging to see many positive notes on this upcoming incredible series which many of us are now fond of. It is challenging to bring all of the past reviews and minifigures together and it was easy feat. So, your comments and thoughts are truly appreciative on my end.
As for ones who asked for the dates of the official releases based on your regions, I do not have those with me, but I am inclined to think with effect of 1st April 2012, you might watch out for some releases here and there and as in Singapore's case, it is likely to be in May 2012. So, take that as a rough gauge. Likely to see US and Europe regions being the first few areas to have the LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 7 and I am actually still hunting for my Series 6 and it is still not enough.

Great review! I think your photos are even better this time then last time and thanks for comparing with similar/pair figs.
Thank you darkdragon! I am glad you enjoyed the new photos!

I wonder how suitable the Valkyrie's hair\helmet will be for old Wikings, especially this one:
I am sure it will be quite fitting. The new Valkyrie hairpiece is very impressive.

I always thought
this head would work as Jim Raynor's, but it's pretty similar anyway.
I agreed that the new Galaxy Patrol's head is much fitting for Starcraft (Terran), Jim Raynor.

Great review as always Fangy
. There are lots of awesome figs in this series that I'm really looking forward to getting my hands on
. But they are coming out too fast, I'm lagging behind in my vig building
Don't lag behind! I do understand how tiring it can be especially with many close releases. It was just only 3 months ago since I had done the Series 6 review.

Whitefang you are indeed the best.
Really.
I was waiting desperately for this.
THANKS deeply from the bottom of my heart.
No kidding. You telling me there are 5 evil knights per box... you just made my day sir.
Thank you Itaria No Shintaku. I am glad this review had made your day especially when I noticed your questions and anticipation in the EB Series 7 discussion. I hope this review had solved many of it and least you could sit back and wait for the official releases.

One question though: is there any backprinting in the swimmer's torso? I suppose there's a number, otherwise it could maybe be used for a black dress.
Nope. There is no back-printing. I will normally highlight any of the new minifigs' torsos especially if there is a new back-printing.

Another awesome review, Fangy. Seeing all the individual pieces, I'm liking a few of them even more than before. The swimmer having a double sided head really makes her a better fig overall. I love the bunny tail as well. I'm glad Lego is so great about such little details.
I like the new swimmer too. After seeing the actual real one, I no longer dislike it. There are many impressive small details in this series.

Two things I feel I ought to mention, both regarding the "Grandma Visitor". First of all, her short cape does appear elsewhere-- specifically, it comes in black on the Lloyd Garmadon figure from LEGO Ninjago and in earth blue (Bricklink's Dark Blue) on the CW version of the Barris Offee minifigure from Star Wars. It's still brand-new in bright red.
Thanks for highlighting it here. I didn't notice Lloyd's black robe too. Actually I forget he is with the short legs. So, is Barris. I didn't know that was in this version as well.

Her bag is indeed new, but this is not the only place it appears. It's included in a few Friends sets. It appears in bright purple (Bricklink's Dark Pink) in 3183 Stephanie's Cool Convertible, in flame yellowish orange (Bricklink's Bright Light Orange) and 3939 Mia's Bedroom (a summer set), and in bright yellow in 3184 Adventure Camper (another summer set). I might be mistaken on the colors in the summer sets (they could both be the same color), but in any event there's a lot of variety of colors for that handbag (though this one is more subdued than any of the others).
I didn't notice the new parts from the Friends theme. I ought to take a look at the parts in details. Thanks for letting me know.

Can the Space Marine's fit a standard visor, and if so, would you take a picture? Also, would you take a pic of the Space Marine armor on the Space-girl?
NO, the Space Marine visor does not allow to fit on a standard visor. I will try to see if I can the picture of that. No promises.

The space marine helmet is the same one as on the S1 Spaceman, S3 Space Villain, S6 Intergalactic Girl and Alien Conquest ADU figures and yes it can take a standard helmet visor.
This is the first time that particular helmet has appeared in Dark Blue though.

NO, this helmet is brand new piece and it is not the same as the one mentioned above. It is completely new!
