Done. Still missing are Joker's, Bumblebee's and Huntress's hair from DC Superheroes CMF, and Lloyds Golden mowhawk from the Ninjago arcade pod, because they weren't listed. Also, I have omitted the Trolls hairpieces because they attach to 2x2 heads.

Yes, I'll do that

I'm pretty sure they are fully official, but as to how they were obtained... I doubt they were purchased. Is there an embargo on any LEGO product; these PAB exclusives have always just popped up at some point, right?

[Purist Minifigs] Exetrius' figs
Exetrius replied to Exetrius's topic in Minifig Customisation Workshop
Thanks a lot! I'm very fond of the Warriors torso-leg combo as well, in fact so much that I used it on another figure too (which I now realise I still need to post it in this thread), which I tend to avoid. Thank you! I wasn't in a rush with the Divine Beauties (I think I came up with them spread over several months) and clearly that paid off, very happy with that! The Authentic LEGO Figbarfs Flickr group states "Remember people: less than five figs and it's not a figbarf!", although personally I have called four figs a figbarf many times. Four figs is easier to come up with and photograph, imo, but I guess the idea is that a figbarf must be a bit of a challenge? -
Great to see such another fan-favorite fig produced! The Nindroids are an okay inclusion; I recently reassembled a few of the original Nindroids and was quite surprised how cool they still look.

I really like that you are expanding upon your "Isle of Alnya" from the Safe Haven contest! The trees are great (I spotted you in there, goblin!), the plants are great, and the winding, downward path is great as well. But the dark brown soil layer is awesome, because 1) it separates the reddish brown above ground from that underground, 2) while bridging the gap between the black and reddish brown, 3) and contrasting superbly with lime green, and 4) it's also accurate, because the top soil layer in old forests darker than the ground below, because it is rich in humus! Nice interior, especially like that curved section of wall left from the fireplace. Really the only thing that I can't bring myself to like are the goblins, sorry! Keep rocking, John!

The stream is great, as Grover says, and how it undercuts the snow! I also second his comment about the angle. I think in this winter setting, the big tree is a bit odd. The shape and lighter green colours suggest it is a deciduous tree; by the time winter comes around it should have lost its leaves already. I think it would look good in a summer setting, though.

Yes, plenty of 2020 hair pieces have become available, and some 2019 ones have been reducee in price. Maybe I'll compile them.

Thank you! And I'm glad the Meg memes are still running! -

I don't know how relevant this is since 1) everyone seemed to have placed an order already , and 2) there's at least one website that is far more complete in compiling what's available, but I like share these little personal bricklists - as I like to call them - nonetheless: 2020: 2019 (several reduced prices, and I think a few new available things??): Also, a small miracle happened: I was trying to flip the screen to take these screenshots, upon which my laptop crashed, but when had started up again and Chrome restored the webpages, my cart was still intact! -

What's the part number for those dark tan/reddish brown dual moulded legs (or what set do they appear in)? AAWWW YEAHHH!! Thanks so much! Btw, I noticed that Mysterio's 'glass helmet' has been reduced from around €1.00 to €0.44. Nice. :) -
I think there is an audience that likes life-sized, or larger-than-minifig-scale-sized lego objects (hence the approval of the piano). There aren't many sets in that genre, so I see the appeal to that group. Perhaps part of the voters hoped for all-printed keys, which I'm sure would be used for many MOCs.

Promobricks has encountered another new dual-moulded short legs piece: in yellow (on top!!) and white.

Bionicle set please, please, PLEASE! Legend of Zelda would be fantastic, but I think the franchise is still stuck with licensing issues. I like the chalet, but maybe it's a little too large as-is. Futurama ship and Ratatouille projects look good, but have less priority for me. Tbh, I really don't see any longlasting appeal of the aquarium once you've built it and given it a few spins.. is it just me?

Now I understand what you mean with the "bionicle eye helmet": the nindroid headwrap! Couldn't see the images before (on my iPad). I would love to buy the 'waffle' Technic beam from SPIKE Prime... if it were 3 euros cheaper. -
Oh, that's a nice biker helmet!

@AMD Haven't watched Accel World (yet?), but at times I've been fairly sure there are anime fans among the Ninjago design team. This doesn't surprise me, I think the asian style is what keeps the theme authentic despite the wide variety of genres it has touched upon. Aside from the Chinese new year sets, Ninjago is only theme that consistently taps into asian culture, and I can imagine that as such it is very important for the sales in Asia. So I don't expect Ninjago to fully drop the asian style, not even for a wave.

I salute you, fellow anime fan! 100% with you on this!

That ice dude is superb!! Edit: Apparently, as reported by the article, this is not a self-compiled BAM thing, but rather a pack that comes with these figs assembled, and can be purchased for €6,99. I wonder if this will become the norm for the release of BAM-exclusive parts?

Nearly all the new hairpieces are listed on B&P, but very few are available yet. These are the ones I found available (ignore the other parts): Also, Flitwick's hair in medium nougat showed up in the BAM-wall:
