[Metanoios]

Could someone take a picture of the Viking helmet (without a beard) from the side, please?

Agree, I think I'll use the torso as a t-shirt but I'll need to detach the arms (heresy!)

I had the exact same thought.

I saw a poll on facebook and people is more excited about Series 20 than HP Series 2 (the poll showed the leaked bag)

And it was like 70-30%, which proves TLG is not wrong by making city-heavy CMFs, which is something I don't really get, but its seems that's what people like the most 

Well, on the bright side, it might not be an apples to apples comparison. We don't have images of all the HP figures yet. Also, some people tend to like a series more as they see pictures of the actual minifigures in reviews. That puts S19 at an advantage in that poll. I'd be interested in seeing another poll once the HP series is out.

What are people's plans for getting what they want from this series?

I'm not a collector and I only buy what I want from each CMF, which in this case is 5 or 6 figures, but I wouldn't be going to the store and feeling packets this time. I guess that just leaves Bricklink really.

Anyone else having to think about this for the first time?

We are currently in lockdown until at least late April, and even ordering online is out with many sites closing their doors. As soon as we are able, I plan on ordering a box and splitting it with two other collectors, as finding it in local stores could be hit and miss for a while.
A shame this has all happened, as this series was set to drop the day before my birthday, and I was looking forward to some feeling and hunting. Ah well, could be worse.

I, too, would go feel bags in the past. This time, since I want 7 or 8 of them, and possible 2 of certain ones, I'm buying a box and will sell the ones I don't want. And I'll probably post on discussion boards (where allowed), selling at barely above my cost + actual shipping, to help out others who are in the same situation, not able to go out to stores. I hear lots of chatter about the power ranger and the viking, and I don't particularly want those, so PM in about a month if you're interested (I'm in the US). :)

@vermontcathyI'm thinking to do the same, but how to buy a box? I'm seeing only separate bags in Amazon and Walmart online. Does Lego sell them in boxes?

You can get unopened boxes from Minifigure Madness with a significant saving if you use the discount code at this link to Brickset.

You can partly see the helmet from the side without the beard in this picture from the Brothers Brick’s series review.

@AmperZand @vermontcathy Thanks both!

@WhiteFang, Too soon to expect your review of this series?

Like I always say, “a minifigure series ain’t a minifigure series until Fangy has reviewed it!”

Unfortunately, I don’t foresee it anytime soon similar to the last CMFs. It will take time for me to actually acquire the new series.

I agree :) When a CMF series comes out I always check if there is a Whitefang review, it is the only review I am interested in.

[WhiteFang]

To add, I did not receive a box. So, please don’t be too hopeful that the EB review will come anytime soon or at all. Thanks.

I do hope that they extend the release of this series, as well as delay future series, because as it stands there is no way I can get these.

Sure, I could buy a full box but I cannot justify that money at present; so my option was to feel-up bags at a retailer that has a great discount, but we're on lock-down for the foreseeable future (in the UK); and even if we weren't, feeling up blind bags may not be the best idea at present.

Well, it was good while it lasted. Thanks for all effort you put reviewing all the CMFs so far

They were always fun to read and great source of pics and trivia about the figures

I loved to read them every time a new series was released

That's lame.  Your reviews are great, and half the reason I make my decision to buy or not buy certain figures.  TLG is doing everyone a disservice by not sending you a box to review.  I hope they recant and send you a box!

Seconded. We really enjoy your CMF reviews but if LEGO isn’t  cooperative, there is nothing to be done. ?

Wow the more I see that minifigure, the more I love it.

Hey, does anyone know if the Tournament Knight is ordinary yellow or Flame Yellowish Orange? I can’t tell from the pictures.

The second one; but the shield is regular yellow, which I think is a bit of a mismatch (though not as much as the s15 frightening knight).

Are you sure it's from Brickset? I went through all their official reviews since 1 January and couldn't find it. Can you please post a link?
