Can't wait to get them. Does anyone think there's a chance we might get a wave 2? With the pigs in space, Dr. Teeth, Zoot, Floyd Pepper, Scooter, Sam the Eagle, Sweetums to mention a few. And what are the chances we might now get Fraggle Rock mini figures?

Honestly I kinda hope for Electric Mayhem set.

Fraggle Rock would be awesome, but i think they’re not popular enough (although i hope i am wrong). 
Lego is very on to nostalgic collectors nowadays, so if i had to guess, and this series will sell well, i think they’ll give us instead of a series 2, overpriced muppets sets. Which of course i will buy, because i am a nostalgic pop culture fan :-)

A Fraggle Rock series would be a dream.

I’ve been to like ten stores over the past week and none of them had any Muppets CMFs. I’m only missing Fozzie at this point so I just ordered him off of Bricklink, and threw in a couple CMFs I’m missing from Series 20.

Dunno - who *do* you have to bribe/charm around here?

I have mental lists for Sesame Street, Muppet Christmas Carol and many more … 

[Borex]

Dunno, but i bought a lot of products from them. I guess they owe me something for that, right? Favor for a favor style. 

[Lion King]

I think Muppet Series is one of the best CMF Series (and one of my favorite series). 

[1980-Something-Space-Guy]

I have finally had a chance to see these in person and I think they're gorgeous. Lego did a perfect job with the series.

[WhiteFang]

Just bought a full set of the Muppet CMFs. Very well made and lots of nice parts.  

Do note that Eurobricks do not have a review set for this series or anymore in the future.

sad to hear. End of an era. I loved the tradition of your reviews for the years they lasted. Your S2 review was pivotal in making me decide to start collecting CMFs way back in 2011. Sorry to hear EB won't be getting review sets, and thanks for all of the love and dedication you put into those reviews!

[jonwil]

Managed to snag a full set of these today, they look great. So many wonderful parts in there as well.

 

[Karalora]

I'm impressed that Camilla looks so good considering she's made from the standard chicken mold. That printing goes a long way!

EB isn’t flashy enough no more for them? Anyway always loved your reviews, and they helped me picking the figs that i wanted from a cmf series, so thanks for all the reviews

Unfortunately, it is the way it is. I will miss my time to do these traditional reviews too since the very beginning. Thanks for following my works until now

There are many reviewing sources and media sources for your daily dose of LEGO reviews. EB is just a fan community. That’s about it. We are not exactly the best in giving nice numbers. So, that’s about it. I am glad my past reviews had helped you in one way or another. Much appreciated.

Didn't think this warranted a new topic. But I got Kermit yesterday and had to reference the obscure game Spy Muppets

I'm the world's wettest secret agent.

 

Good thing I stopped at Subway before this mission (Anyone care to guess what this is a reference to? It's not in the actual game)

No but it is subway related.

 

[Takanuinuva]

So had an idea what Lego could do for Series 2 Muppets

1. Walter- With poster of Muppets

2. Constantine- Kermit but with mole. Angry eyes and dynamite

3. Daredevil Gonzo- With Rizzo

4. Scooter- With Robin the frog

5. Dr. Teeth- With Keyboard

6. Floyd Pepper- With Base Guitar

7. Zoot- With Saxaphone

8. Sam the Eagle

9. Clifford- With Pepe

10. The Newsman

11. Denise the pig. (Or Mrs Piggy in a different outfit and hairstyle)

12. Beauregard the Janitor- With mop accessory

 

Also could add in Crazy Harry, Lew Zeland, Bobo the Bear or Uncle Deadly.
Sweetums could also work but they'd have to use the long torso and legs from the avatar minifigures.

Sorry if I missed this, but do we know what song is depicted on Rowlf's music sheet?
Finally these got released in New Zealand. They are all amazing, and I am unable to pick a favourite, though Beaker is right up there, I have always liked him.

[Pchan1983]

After over 2 months delay, finally able to buy it in New Zealand.  Unfortunately, didn't get 3 sets from the box and somehow got 5 STATLER and just one Rowlf the Dog.  Anyone also had similar issues?

 

[sunhuntin]

The box we grabbed to go through did not appear to have Beaker. He was the last we needed, and I went back through all the packs without luck. My partner was able to locate one from the next box. Another AFOL that was looking through a different box could not locate Kermit or Janice. I did not do an accurate count of how many of each, other than not finding Beaker.

[canuckster]

If they do a second one, I wouldn't want the same character in a new dress, I'd go for:

Scooter, Rizzo and Yolanda, Dr Teeth, Sweetums, Beauregard, Bobo the Bear, Floyd Pepper, Lew Zealand, Pepe (If people haven't judged that too much of a stereotype), Sam the Eagle, Zoot

This collection would complete the Dr Teeth and the Electric Mayhem I believe, depending if you consider Lips a full member or not.

Id love all new characters but i anticipating at least getting new outfits for Kermit and Piggy, i could also see a stuntman gonzo being made

My prediction list for a series 2 would be-

1. Kermit in suit (or maybe Constantine if he counts as a kermit variant) + Robin accessory

2. Pigs in space Piggy + Pepe accessory

3. Stuntman Gonzo plus+ rizzo accessory

4. Scooter

5. Sam Eagle

6. Walter

7. Dr. Teeth

8. Floyd Pepper

9. Zoot

10. Uncle Deadly

11. Lew Zealand

12. Beauregard

 

I think they may put small characters with the first 3 as they dont require any new molds, so they can use that budget for them, similarly to simpsons series 2

 

I reallyyyyyy hope we get a series 2 ive loved this series so much

Completely agree! I understand there are youtube reviews and other websites so I am not completely deprived of a review series but I had so much respect for the tradition and sad to see it go. 
 

Got 6 figures for this series and am honestly astounded. This is one of those series where I had a familiarity with the brand beforehand, but not something I was into at all. Initially only wanting Kermit and Miss Piggy as they are so iconic, but caved and got Animal, Gonzo, Janice, and Fozzy Bear as well. Gotta say, I am oddly in love with these figures!

I had a stronger attachment to DC as a brand but because so many of those figures felt like they could have been included in sets, if DC weren’t so neglected, made the series less impactful for me. I was huge on Disney as a kid, but disagreements with the head choices of some figures (Genie and Buzz come to mind) along with Disney drain left me not as stunned for those series. I won’t go down the list of all the licenses Lego has carried but this one, I had the least attachment to beforehand overall. But the amount of detail on these figures is incredible. So excited to get Sesame Street and have all these characters interact.

feeling like I want the 2 old men in the balcony and Swedish chef so we’ll see if I cave for those. I’m gonna bounce them back and forth from being in my Palace Cinema, to the Friends theater that released this year. If I ever get into photography I could see those 2 being so fun to pose and add to different scenarios. Really shocked at how into these figs I was.
