Oh, my heart skipped a beat and thought we have news of the new releases. False alarm. LOL

Tomorrow

I went to my local LEGO store today and they said that they are going to receive the new BAM Minifigures tomorrow, for  putting them for sale next weekend 

[Darth Phallus]

Any news?

[El Garfio]

No

My local store received some bags to refill the tower, but were old ones 

And I haven't seen any leak at Instagram

I don't ever remember it going this long before we knew what the new ones would be, any word maybe they are stopping BAM?...really unlikely but who knows, would kind of be a good thing, then I would not have to spend so much money collecting them...lol

They come out at the beginning of May. They are a little late.

any word yet on what the new ones will look like?

[Lion King]

I wonder if they would do spce-themed minifigures for. BAM since there are so many Space sets across themes (Art, City, Friends, Icons, CMF, Technic, Creator). 

[Darth Phallus]

Apparently, new BAM minifigure parts  include unique printed shoulder armour designed to go with the current City Space astronaut outfits and Futuron style torsos in coral

We want photos of the leaks

New Space Themed Build-A-Mini Figures found in the wild. | The Rambling Brick

[alpinesman]

I'm a little disappointed ...

For those not interested in the City style Space suits, it looks like there’s also a new cowboy (complete with chaps), a construction worker, and they’ve put out a (new?) tuxedo torso alongside releasing the double bass accessory - which I believe has only appeared in the Jazz Club before. 

[RichardGoring]

The non-space ones look OK? Every time I see another new nod towards wild west, I regret not getting the Bricklink Designer Program General Store a little bit more. But nothing across any of them that really jumps out.

It's the Alfred Pennyworth/Orient Express Waiter Tuxedo, swap the white gloved hands for flesh and you've got the Gringotts/Vault GWP Goblin torso.

The dark orange torso is the exclusive Misako torso from the Ninjago City Gardens.

Good catches, I had a feeling I’d seen the tuxedo before, but it’s fairly generic so I wasn’t sure where. I don’t keep up with Ninjago so I didn’t spot that one. Either way, the more interesting offerings from those two figs in my opinion are the rarely seen double bass and the new cowboy chaps printed legs for those who like those archetypes. Personally, I’ve had the double bass on my list to grab from PaB next time I do an order for a while, so I’ll be checking my local store’s BaM tower next month when I’m in.

LEGO has a problem with BAM.

The musician playing the cello without an arch

One of the astronauts has a breastplate and that counts as an accessory 

The astronaut helmet has no visor by the same: it counts as an accessory

We had suffered a price increase but we are getting simple accessories or no one due to the BAM rules

--------------------

And saying that, I would preffer only one astronaut torso and something different for the alien. And the redhead girl in a torso of other thema 

Because BAM is about to mix torsos, legs, heads, hairs/hats and accessories

Technically it’s a double bass and not a cello, although with how minifig proportions work you could probably make it work as a cello if you wanted to. 
 

And the double bass isn’t always played with a bow, jazz players often just pluck the strings - as seen in the Jazz Club and Jazz Quartet sets. In a classical orchestra you’ll see them played with a bow, but since lego just uses the Harry Potter wand piece for a bow, it’s really easy to get ahold of (pretty much any Harry Potter collector has a massive stockpile).

Out of curiosity, is Lego still selling pre-made BAM packs without us looking for ceertain minifigure parts in towers/bins?

I don't know because LEGO is replacing the BAM blisters by cardboard boxes

[ramofont]

On May 2, we will see if the blisters have completely disappeared.

Par curiosité, Lego vend-il toujours des packs BAM préfabriqués sans que nous recherchions certaines pièces de figurine dans les tours/bacs ?

In the Lego store in my town (France) the new BAM elements are first available in blister packs in already assembled figurines, and after a few weeks they go into the sorting bins.
