What’s this glass-half-full nonsense!?

My glass is always half full. Probably because if I drank the rest of it, I’d have to buy another round and I can’t afford it these days thanks to the price of bricks!

With your bespoke Lego fox ice cubes in?

By now we should have had AT LEAST a Sesame Street CMF and be onto a Fraggle Rock one … 

I doubt that the second one is really well known enough to ever become a CMF. Maybe some adults know it from their childhood but unless Sesame Street I don´t think many kids nowadays do. I actually even had to google it, because I never heard about it at all.

I mean the second one literally has live series being produced these days since 2022 and streaming on Apple TV (called ‘Fraggle Rock: back to rock’).

Wasn´t even mentioned on the german wikipedia, and I would still say it is to niche, especially for a CMF. Apple TV is at least compared to Netflix, Amazon and Disney+ a smaller streaming service, so the viewership for that show seems also quite limited to me.

Well, Sesame Street is still active ever since 1980s or 1990s, co-existing Muppets.  I have no idea about your childhood in Germany back in the old times but I’m pretty sure you have seen the Ideas’ Sesame Street. However, it’s fair that some people don’t own Apple TV while others don’t purchase Netflix or Disney+.  I never heard of Downtron Abbey tv show from Netflix and there is an upcoming set for it.  Sesame Street is very known to adults from 1980s and beyond.  So i would say it’s likely for CMF as it would aim for younger audience like wiht Muppets and Looney Tunes (ignoring Disney as it’s extremely known worldwide).

Noone questioned Sesame Street CMFs, but the ones for the Fraggles. And Downtown Abbey isn´t an Netflix series, but a british itv one, which you could watch in free tv, but also stream on several places, including Netflix but also DIsney + for instance. Way more people have access to this series than to the Fraggles and still I wouldn´t say Downtown Abbey would be iconic enough for a CMF series either.

On a side note, I would think a Fraggles set would be way more likely than a CMF series too. Though not sure how likely really because it is hard to predict demand for it.

I know basically nothing about One Piece, Fortnite, Animal Crossing, Seinfield, Transformers, F1, and have never watched Bluey, played Legend of Zelda, Sonic, or Super Mario … yet here’s Lego producing sets, CMFs and whole dang themes about them! 

Outrageous.

Aside from Super Mario, which I played on the good old Gameboy (the one they just made a Set of) I am on the same page - well and I think I watched the first Transformers film, but I don´t really remember much about that one. Eitherway. It isn´t about whether I know the Freggles, but I just don´t think they are overall well known/Iconic enough for a CMF. The examples you mentioned are actually good ones, since while I have no interest in any of them (aside of, again Mario, where I got the buildable Bowser) they seem more Iconic or well known than the Freggles to me. And still, I wouldn´t think all of them would be suitable for a CMF, especially Seinfield. 

Though, to be honest, F1 would have been among them and yet here we are ;).

Who said “no one”? I have seen some people here guessed Sesame Street a few years ago, right here.  Eh, it depends on people’s purchasing preference when it comes to streaming services. I only have Netflix but not Disney+ or Apple TV.

I said noone questioned them, not that noone guessed they would make them ;). And again, the statement about Apple TV was only about their overall viewership, not single viewers. And in total numbers compared to Netflix, Amazon and Disney, it is just rather small.

Ah but it dones’t matter. Some people here did question or guess Sesame Street CMF series.  And that’s fair but I was trying to say that sometimes there are tv series or movies executive to Apple TV, not other streaming platorms.  Just pointing out.

As cool as it would be for a second chance to get Sesame Street figures, I'll stick to a Fortnite CMF. There's just a mountain of options to choose from. (I'm going for the demon guards from Expeditions)

Fraggles wouldn't work in CMF - not enough characters and the scale difference is way too large. You'd need bigfigs, minifigs & microfigs.

I mean, it was a slightly flippant and selfish suggestion - but in the past we have had characters like Tweety pie, Speedy Gonzales, Jiminy Cricket, and Chip & Dale appear as mini figures alongside other characters of very different scale. So, y’know 🤷🏽‍♂️🤷🏽‍♂️

[williejm]

And as to characters - well a contained 12 figure CMF line up could look like this:

6 Fraggles (Gobo, Mokey, Wembley, Boober, Red & Uncle Travelling Matt)

Sprocket

the three Gorgs 

& two Doozers

I kinda wish there would be a non-licensed CMF series that is themed as mythological” like Greek / Roman, Norse, Egyptian, Japanese, Celtic, Native American (maybe not likely), Aztec, etc.

Huh? Why are y’all acting as if it’s been a century since the last regular non-themed series came out, it was last January

It is also worth remembering that collectors of the original series were used to getting 48 different generic / unlicensed characters per year, whereas now it is more like 12.  Those were the days when if I didn't like a character, there would be new ones along very soon. I'd get them anyway to be complete, especially as they were cheap, and there would soon be something else to look forward to. For each one, I'd build a little 8x8 vignette,  it was a regular 30 min build every week. It was also when swaping and trading figures was quite popular so there was a community aspect to it. Whereas now, I reckon for every one CMF I get hold of, I buy at least 25 on PAB. I'm no longer CMF complete so I didn't mind getting rid of my older early figures that I don't like, and good for me the late to the party collectors pay silly money for them. I find now that I have very little anticipation for a new series, I'll buy a couple of any I like but that is it. There is barely any community swapping, people buy boxes to get complete series rather than individual packs. Very different times.

What I find very annoying is Lego using older figures that are no longer available in their marketing.

I don’t think I’ve seen their tv ad but basically where marketing uses figures you can’t buy anymore like the crash test dummy.

Man, I do love CTD. There’s a current ad that has a whole army of Yeti minifigures featured, I somehow thought it was that.
