Minifigures Series 8 Guessing Game

[John31388]

I don't know about the whole series but I personally love all the warriors that have been made so far and if they continue in the series i would love to see a Templar knight, and maybe a middle eastern knight, or maybe a new forest men.

[Dakar A]

15. Musician with trumpet

W/ French Horn (Lego already has a trumpet, plus a horn would be much cooler!)

Dakar

[KyleJohnson11]

Hockey player helmet, visor, and armor in a different color with a new football piece.

Oh trust me, I'm banking on a football player for Series 8. If not, I've always got this guy :) http://lego.cuusoo.com/ideas/view/1471

[Klaus-Dieter]

2. Boy with new hair-mold on surfboard

3. Basketball Player with basketball

11. Kid with paintball gun, cap

12. Female Bycliclist with bycicle

Oh, these are really good ideas, GeluNumber1!

I completely forgot that TLG should indeed include some kids in the series. I mean: Lego is mainly for kids. So it's completely weird that in seven series of minifigures there's only one kid (red cape from series 7).

Apart from that some more everyday minifigures would be great to offer a bit more variety in torso, hair and face design.

The Big Bad Wolf dressed as Grandma... Red Riding Hood in 7, BBW in Series 8. Not that I want it to, but it's GONNA HAPPEN

To be honest my excitement about CMs has been fading. Mostly because of how difficult it has gotten to feel the contents in series 5. I am getting discouraged of trying to get more series considering all the amounts of money I have spent so much in series 5 and I have still not seen a single gladiator (to complete my set). Tons of zoo keepers though :/

And there are already two other series to fill my bills. That's a lot of bloat. I am starting to think it would be best if there much were less figures per series or much less series.

3. Swamp Monster

4. Bowler (As Itaria suggested!)

5. Medusa

6. Pool Player

7. Ballerina (I have been thinking about this for a loooong time!)

8. Judge (with gavel)

I don't really know anything else..... I hope we get some info. on this series soon!

swamp monster won't happen because of monster frighters.

[Pennas2000]

Mine will be wishful thinking. So my guesses will be either 16 Superheroes or 16 Lotr minifigs. Yeah I know never gonna happen.

[Walter]

I'll throw a couple out there! I haven't read the previous posts, so some of you may have already thought of these.

Maybe a salty old sea captain, that'd be pretty cool, right?

Some kind of old styled Swiss mountain climber! Complete with gear. I'd love to see that.

A french man with a loaf of bread... An affordable and easier way to get a bread piece.

Maybe a fairy too! Some form of fairy would rock, and it wouldn't cut into the LoTR theme because there's not really any fairies in there. She'd

probably be minifigure scale, but I'm fine with that.

There's just a couple ideas from me. Hope we get some of them eventually!

11. Ancient Roman (in toga)

12. Child (with a toy, possibly a Mischievous Prankster?)

13. Teacher

14. Magician (or magistrix)

15. Tourist (not necessarily Japanese... )

And finally, 16. Hunter/Farmer (someone with a gun, but only to fend off nasty animals and protect the happy rabbits, kittens and doves etc., etc.)

Correction: Lego is against modern war

The lines blur a little more when it comes to licensed sets however.

trying not to stray too far off topic but just to add that in toy story they made a whole soldiers set

[LEGOman273]

Please let's not have this discussion again.

It was a license, and (I don't know for sure, as I have not watched the movie) they were not portrayed as fighting eachother.

[tazosaure]

After getting the Karate Master's gold trophy in series 2, we got a bronze trophy with series 3 Sumo Wrestler and eventually a silver one with series 4 Soccer Player.

Seeing the series 7 Swimming Champion's gold medal makes me fairly confident we'll have some kind of athlete rocking a bronze or silver medal in series 8.

(It also makes me fairly hopeful for a series 9 so that we can collect all medals )

Since the trophy holders were all male, I would love the medal bearers to be all females (it would be only fair )

I also think it's likely that the medal bearer whomever it is will be competing in a sport that doesn't offer much opportunity for any other accessories (just like the trophy holders in their time), like maybe a basketball or some kind of runner or gymnast.

Otherwise like others have posited, it's good to look at potential pairing with already released minifigures for clues:

I think we can expect the skier to be paired up with his female counter part at some point,

The sailor (and the fisherman) are still missing a sea captain/shipmaster,

Even though I'm not particularly found of the fishing rod, I could see the fishermen crowd begin joined by a fly fisher (catching a different kind of fish hopefully),

etc

(I'm hoping however that the skateboarders sub-theme has been beat to death enough and that we won't see anymore...)

Anyways, I'm quite impatient to see what TLC has in store for us this time!

[General Magma]

1. S.W.A.T. Cop (with a larger fire-weapon and a shield)

2. Reggae Artist (dark skinned figure with dreadlocks and a microphone, like Bob Marley)

3. Medieval Knight (either with a black falcon emblem, or something along the lines of a hawk in brown/dark brown)

4. Goblin (small figure with green (or sand green) skin color, with molded and bald head OR hairpiece with long ears)

5. Nomad (in somewhat of a Mongolian style)

6. Pirate (just a generic pirate with a cutlass and maybe a bottle of rum or a telescope)

7. Scarecrow (could just be a standing figure with a face, like something you'd see in a cartoon, or an actual scarecrow with a stand to be held up, but the first would work (either cartoony or scary then))

8. British Soldier (1700s era - this figure would have a special wig piece with a tricorner hat on it, new printing and also printed legs (like a renewed redcoat))

9. Man in Dog Costume (much like the gorilla and others, but this time a dog with long, hanging ears and a big nose)

10. Hunter (old-style, a little bit like the guy from Looney Tunes - rifle and dark tan clothing, maybe dark brown boots printed on the legs)

11. Basketball Player (with basketball and printed legs as well)

12. Sea Captain (figure with beard in yellow clothes OR a more modern version with white hat, dark blue clothes, etc.)

13. Underground Miner (perhaps a bit futuristic in a way that serves as a nod to Rock Raiders (a bit like the Axel figure?), perhaps he could have the RR logo printed somewhere)

14. Old Grandpa (figure with a beard, glasses, a walking stick and something typical that aged men would wear as clothing these days - maybe a bingo card as another accessory)

15. Space Gangster (new alien figure with bag of money, perhaps some sort of a hat, a coat (preferably black clothing) and a laser gun)

16. Acrobat (something that would fit in with the other circus figures)

If Lego make this minifigures, I will buy all!

I think a Medusa would work if they used the Ninjago snake leg mould
