MAB Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 That's funny. The Simpsons S2 is often derided as the worst CMF series ever, yet as it stands it is going through in second place! Quote
Digger of Bricks Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 I'll admit, between Series 2 and 12, neither one held any particularly interesting archetypes/designs for me; but, Series 12's Swashbuckler and Dino Tracker were somewhat cool, so I'll give it that I suppose. Quote
timemail Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 New to minifigures so don't have many of them. Series 12 has the most that I would want out of the current round. Quote
Itaria No Shintaku Posted September 5, 2019 Author Posted September 5, 2019 I'll vote later on. Some news on this game: the next group, including the missing series, will be the last for this round. Series 19 is absent because it has a wild card for round #2 that will start within 6 days. Quote
telaruhn Posted September 5, 2019 Posted September 5, 2019 I didn't have times to give my thoughts on the last group, but I ended up voting Series 13... It's my favorite of all the released series thus far. There isn't one in the group I don't like. Series 15 is a very close second, and I also like some figures from Series 7. Out of this new group, the best one is Series 12. Battle Goddess, Wizard, Hun Warrior and Spooky Girl are my favorites from that one. Quote

Robert8 Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Series 16 for me. The baby, the devil costume, Banana Guy was hilarious, Cyborg, wolfpack Rogue, Ice Queen, great animal moulds, etc Series 16 was the last great series IMO. After that have been good, but never great again Quote
Raystafarian Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 As I stated before, not a big fan of the themed series. 16 for me. Quote
ToaIruini Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Bad selection for me, as I only really collect the unthemed series. I do quite like 16 though even if it started the trend of three costumes a series... As I live in the States I never got any Team GB figures but I would have liked to; some of them were great and have no counterpart in the series’ like the archer, gymnast, and equestrian. Quote
Phyre Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 While Disney series 1 and The LEGO Batman movie series 1 were not bad, Series 16 is the clear choice for me! Quote
timemail Posted September 8, 2019 Posted September 8, 2019 Season 16 for me. It was actually close with Batman Series 1. While there were more Batman figures that I would want overall - there were a lot of random villains which I see as a waste of time. It was actually the figures that I didn't want that decided this for me rather than those I did want. Quote
Itaria No Shintaku Posted September 8, 2019 Author Posted September 8, 2019 Sorry edit: the first two qualify Quote

But my opinion might be tainted by the fact, that this series were never available in Denmark (or the other Scandinavian countries, for no obvious reason?), so it was a hazzle to get it from Germany. Its nice that you can buy on the internet, but I missed out on the touch-and-feel... So strange it not being available from the capital of Lego! Edited September 9, 2019 by J4ck Quote

JJBricker Posted September 12, 2019 Posted September 12, 2019 How could the Simpsons Series 1 top the Ninjago Movie Series!?! It's too bad I got here just too late to vote... Quote

Because more people liked it than TLNM series. Simpsons S1 was fairly ground breaking. Something people thought Lego would never do, both as a theme and as a licensed CMF, some great characters (esp compared to S2), lots of TV accurate head molds. Whereas TLMN was a waste of a CMF series for me. Loads of minifigures came in boxed sets, but still they did a CMF series. Whereas Simpsons S2 had lots of duplication from S1 and it was clear they weren't going to do the more interesting characters. Quote

Ok, I must admit that I'm a bit biased considering I never cared for the T.V. show anyway. Though in terms of usability for non-licensed things, TLNM definitely tops the Simpsons. Quote

I don't think normal minifigure heads would have been as popular for the general public (as opposed to AFOLs wanting parts reusability), as they don't look very good compared to other Simpsons toys. 13 hours ago, JJBricker said: Ok, I must admit that I'm a bit biased considering I never cared for the T.V. show anyway. Though in terms of usability for non-licensed things, TLNM definitely tops the Simpsons. It depends what you are into. I find that there are more reusable parts in Simpsons S1 than TLNM series, mainly because the designs printed on TLNM ones tend to make them unusable for me. The heads may be traditional minifigure ones, but if the prints on the heads/torsos/legs are too specific, then they become less useful. Quote
