rodiziorobs Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 They will replace it if you let them know. Either through their official LEGO twitter account or on their website they have a link for broken/missing pieces i think. For CMFs, however, they won't replace individual parts. I understand that they may replace the whole bag (you may or may not get the same 'fig), but not parts. Quote

8BrickMario Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 I'm noticing some weird patterns involving the checklist and my collecting. After my first eight figures, I was missing two figures from each row, and after getting four more, I'm still missing one from each row. Also, the only minifigures in this series with dual-molded legs are all in the first row! Quote
obsidianheart Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Finally found some today. Picked up 7 (Plant food, Shock 'n' Roll, Doc Heed, Photo Foot, Madame Tigress, Cobra Kai Johnny Halloween Edition, and B.B Wolf). Picked up an extra Monster of Rock for my son (he wanted to put him in his Ghost Train. I dunno). Now I have to build the Doof Monster. Quote
x105Black Posted September 15, 2015 Posted September 15, 2015 Oh wow, a whole new bag is not a bad replacement for a broken accessory. My understanding is that they will send you a completely random package, so it may not be the same minifigure. Quote
BrickFit26 Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 My understanding is that they will send you a completely random package, so it may not be the same minifigure. I wonder if LEGO really does;t have a way to actually know who is inside the blind bag. I think someone in LEGO HQ has to know. Quote
obsidianheart Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 I wonder if LEGO really does;t have a way to actually know who is inside the blind bag. I think someone in LEGO HQ has to know. There are tiny bumps along the bottom edge of each pack that are spaced in such a way as to reveal the contents. However the "Dot Code" is difficult to read, changes with distribution lots, and is generally considered to be inferior to "feeling it out". Quote
kelceycoe Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Bought them all off of Ebay for $78 on Paypal credit, free shipping. Obviously the seller lost money after Ebay/Paypal fees, unless they were lucky to buy them for less than $4. The seller is from Indiana and shipped them assembled with stands, insert, but no packaging (I only keep one anyway and I plan to impulse buy these hardcore for extra parts). There are none I have problems with. I'll agree with some of the original views that some of these monsters are mythological and shouldn't be here (Square Foot) but some of these are downright awesome (love The Fly's molded head). Can't wait for the skateboarder zombie to complete the zombie family. Wonder if they're supposed to have any relation to the previous 2 zombie CMFs, bride/groom, chef, and butler, and the driver?

kelceycoe Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Also... if you need help attaching the chain to the spectre... turn his hands upside down so the more rounded side is facing upward. It's still not easy but it can be done. As for the briefcases breaking this is common since the '80s... just don't open and close them so much. Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 Bridgewater Mall finally has the mini figures in stock! I have like 5 less than a full set... but I got 5 flies! now I only need (at least) 5 more flies to fulfill my unholy ambitions! for the swarm! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
Hive Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 My understanding is that they will send you a completely random package, so it may not be the same minifigure. This is accurate. I got 2 random figs back when I complained about the jester and princess minifigs. Quote
MAB Posted September 16, 2015 Posted September 16, 2015 If it is a regular production part (they occasionally occur in the cmf range), they will send the right part. Otherwise they send a new random pack. Quote

Still need to check my local Target if they have some, last time I went, they were sold out. Quote
BrickOn Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 I finally picked up a Wacky Witch and Werewolf yesterday (and another gargoyle for my collection and plant guy for the other half) , now I am only missing the mad scientist :-) It was interesting to compare the legs of the witch and the legs of Spooky girl... very similar designs, but the witch's seem to be executed so much better!

Velouria Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 (edited) I thought you might like to see some of the headpieces of this series on minidoll heads. The witch hat with hair works great, and Farran the woodelf could be turned into a nice little faun or satyr with a little repaint.

It's a shame there's no "Satyr" leg piece, but I totally approve of that headpiece recolor ed for a Satyr! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Edited September 17, 2015 by Dannylonglegs Quote

Dannylonglegs Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 S15... Is this confirmed? ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
8BrickMario Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Pretty much. In the S15 thread, Itaria hinted at a mythological character reusing a part introduced in S13 or 14, and in his own guessing game, suggested a satyr. Quote
Dragonfire Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 They've all run out near where I am, still no Square Foot, Wolf Guy or Fly Monsters ... Quote
obsidianheart Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Today I was able to pick up a Building Topper, a Totally-Not-Copyright-Infringing Flyman, Late for a Meeting, Cap'n Deadbeard, Gimmie a Z, and a pair of Madame Widow (again, my son wanted one for his train. Now I have to build a second coffin-car). Only 3 to go! Quote
8BrickMario Posted September 17, 2015 Posted September 17, 2015 Your nicknames are creative, but they are a bit distracting and confusing. Quote
Robert8 Posted September 18, 2015 Author Posted September 18, 2015 Totally-Not-Copyright-Infringing Flyman I still wondering how they made the Fly Monster without getting a license Quote
obsidianheart Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 I still wondering how they made the Fly Monster without getting a license He's different enough it skirts the issue, I'm guessing. Like how the Swamp Monster from Monster fighters is obviously-but-not from a Lagoon that is Black. The rest of modern monsters are ubiquitous enough that you don't need to be concerned unless you name them. Your nicknames are creative, but they are a bit distracting and confusing. Sorry you don't like them. Quote
kelceycoe Posted September 18, 2015 Posted September 18, 2015 Not to mention Zombie Bride & Groom is based from White Zombie. But all other MF monsters and most of the Doo ones seem to be from the classic Universal monster films. Here's a list of what I gathered to help give an idea for sourcing the S14 CMFs: - Swamp Monsters: Creature from the Black Lagoon - Lord Vampire & Studios Vampire: Dracula - Werewolves (MF & Studios): The Wolf Man - Ghost Train: Unknown (definitely not from the movie by the same name as the set) - Frankenstein Monster & Zombie Studios & MF & CMFs: Frankenstein - Zombie Driver: Renfield from Dracula - Vampire Bride: No clue - Zombie Businessmen (all CMFs): Night of the Living Dead - Mummies (CMF, MF, Studios): The Mummy (although the MF suggests based on the newer Mummy films) - CMF Vampire: Twilight, Fright Night, or Buffy the Vampire Slayer (Kristy Swanson film) - Zombie Butler: Lurch from Addams Family - Zombie Chef: Unknown - Spooky Girl: The girl from Beetlegeuse (since she wears a schoolgirl outfit in the final scene) - CMF Werewolf: Unknown but I do believe a Scooby Doo movie used this "boyish" design, reminds me of Jumanji as well. I know there are more wolves in horror lore with that specific design but I can't think right now. - Headless Horseman: Sleepy Hollow - Black Knight: Likely one of the older Haunted House (Spook House) films where a knight statue moves, I believe this is widely used in Looney Tunes and Addams Family - Pirate Captain: More off of pirate lore but I'm sure there's a source (hopefully not Disney's Blackbeard's Ghost) - Zombie Cheerleader: Not entirely sure. - Zombie Skateboarder: This and the cheerleader are def zombiefied versions of older CMF figs but their source in horror lore isn't quite so known. - Plant Monster: Not sure since the monster from Little Shop of Horrors didn't swallow a man whole or lest I know - Flytrap lily - Same as Plant Monster - Tree monster: Wizard of Oz which I'm sure took the "Living Forest" concept from something else - Tiger Woman: TLC can claim she's a trainer all she wants but this is a popular choice of bodypaint and of a suit with models. The whip suggests a form of kink. - Shock N Roll: Like I said before this has been made popular by the Beetleguese show at Universal Orlando but source is unknown. - Specter: Ghosts with chains are as common as A Christmas Carol and probably earlier. - Wacky Witch: I swear it's based off of either Disney or Lonney Tunes Witch Hazel. Maybe she's an addition to the Zombie and Tree monster since she controlled the zombie (as a he though) - Skeleton Guy: Movies like Mad Monster Party used dancing skeletons (the idea is as old as the first horror short film actually) - The Fly: Obvious. - Spider Lady: She has an Elvira sense. - Crazy Scientist: This is just a wacked out minifig with an Einstein face. Almost somewhat a take on Burton's Charlie and the Chocolate Factory with the goggles. Suppose to be the maker of The Fly. - Banshee: Have no clue why she made it here, she is definitely folklore like Big Foot. Not much else source material since I don't recall seeing her in any famous cartoons or films. The jack'olantern bucket reminds me of the old McDonalds Happy Meal buckets and the witch's face kinda looks like one too. These are not etched in stone and just my opinions. Quote
