    I was just talking hypothetical. Should they ever consider such option they would adjust the system accordingly. Yep, you dont need to buy blind these days. That one % was symbolic, I didnt do any real math here. I

    dang, those wolves that come with the beastmaster would come in handy guess I know already which fig will be hard to find, lmao

    Ofc without real data we can just assume. Also lego is a very profiable company alr, they make money anyway. And while ordering cmfs in larger quantities would be great, its also more like wishful thinking, because nobody would order larger quantities for like 99% of CMFs, lol.

    Idk if thats a good idea. The whole idea of buying blind is to make customers spend more to get what they desire - MTG cards, gacha games and machines, lootboxes, etc. All this has never affected lego CMFs as u could get whatever u wanted by feeling and now, much easier than ever, by simply scanning. Technically there is no reason to keep doing that blind box thing anymore. The only way to buy CMFs blind is to order directly from Lego or maybe online. The thing wouldnt be a problem if there was a steady supply of new blind boxes for a certain period, but thats not the case. You cant go into a shop that sells CMFs and be certain ur gonna get any paladins atm or even at all. ,Making less desirable figs scarcer than for example the paladin would be most welcome, hehe, but it wouldnt change much. As I said I would have bought 20 or even more paladins if given the chance and I bet the person who bought ALL the paladins before me, would have bought any number. The most reasonable and most profitable way for Lego would be direct orders. Want 100 paladins? not a problem!

    By extremely rare I mean: I can't go out and buy them. It prolly depends where u live and how many shops get them. I checked all shops where I live and all figs are available except for the paladin. So much for the tiny amount of work. Lego could let people order the ones they want for as long as the cmfs are officially on shelves and just keep producing the ones needed, the paladin ATM.

    think its a mix of FOMO and sculping. I ordered a whole box and that was basically all I wanted from this cmf. Then people started talking about the dragonborn and I had to agree, the fig has potential. When I went out to hunt it down, other hunters had been there before me, I could tell because all other 11 figs were readily available. Yesterday a shop got four new boxes, all dragonborns were alr sorted out.... guess I will have to make do with just the three I own. But ye, I guess its FOMO and maybe also the idea of owning something thats extremely rare (at least in great quantities). Personally, I hate the idea of building armys with CMF material for known reasons. IMO Lego should change the system and let everyone just order the figs they want. I mean I would have probably ordered 20 if not more. Thats 20 more dragonborn sold for Lego.

    That's not Lego

    So, when I first saw the sets and the prices and the small number of minifigs, it was an instant pass. There is no way I am gonna buy these. Yesterday someone posted on FB the polybags are on sale. Thought why not buy a polybag for cheap, right. Today I ordered all 5 sets at 20% discount. Didn't wanna wait any longer. Lmao! Dang I like those minifigs. Hope this theme will last for many years. It's like fabuland 2.0

    Pretty awesome, finally a series I can buy blindly and capitalize on the surprise effect.

    Not too bad imo. Think it will fit nicely with the lion knights castle. My gripes are; minifigs could be more plentiful and interesting. The tax collector is awesome, the wolf pack guy could better. Building techniques could be more I iteresting and detailed. The roofs aren't that great imo. The houses could also be better. Overall not bad but not great either. Imo.they should have made a more sophisticated series of different sets, like the modulars but with a smaller scale in mind
  11. Poco Lypso
    Idk man, is the pics or does the roof seem a bit off compared to the source material?
  12. Poco Lypso
    That's hard to pin down exactly. I wanted more foliage pieces and realized the limb element will start bending slightly at some point. Ig that's normal but I would imagine at some point it might break if left in that position for an extended period of time
  13. Poco Lypso
    Was wondering, the larger limb element starts bending a bit when elements are attached to it. Is there a guideline on how much is too much?

    NGL - space is the biggest issue for me, followed by money. I haven't got much space to display sets and I don't even have that many. Lion knights castle was the last set I got and that was after the blacksmith which was after the airjitsu temple lol. As for the lotr rivendell set, I didn't buy it bc space and money, but most of all bc I don't have anything lotr related in my collection. Most of my Lego space is covered by lidl organizers, pab cups and other containers. It's gotten out of hand. I need a designated room, lmao. My wishlist atm: market village, el dorado and the viking village. Will see...

    Nice,!

    I think it's mostly star wars and Ninjago which kids are into, also friends and city. U got lots of media tie-ins such as movies, shows, video games which further enhance the popularity of those themes. The Mario theme must be popular too, otherwise they wouldn't have it run for so long - gimme Zelda, lol. At least Lego realized there is an afol market and has given us some more sophisticated sets. Tbh medieval castles were prolly more colorful than we imagine. Still tho, a pink castle would be a problem for me, bc of the reusability of parts, haha
  17. Poco Lypso
    Lego isnt about (medieval) war. Torn off legs are reserved for the pirates themes. 🤔 Thankfully we can create our own mocs and assign roles to our characters as we see fit.
  18. Poco Lypso
    If they ever make a pink castle I am sure it will match images and descriptions and the set will be accurate... 🤣🤣🤣 .
  19. Poco Lypso
    The female soldier or knight isnt a problem, a headswap can solve this easily. But dang, is this set lackluster from top to bottom. To each their own I guess. I was looking forward to it, and didn't buy any lion knights torsos and legs, saving for majisto. Oh wells... What a wasted opportunity!
  20. Poco Lypso
    Ahhhh.... I am starting to hate GWPs, haha. last year they released the forest hideout, the threshold was too high for me to just buy stuff I don't need. Luckily it returned with the release of the 10305. Both scenarios aren't fantastic, its either you need to buy stuff you otherwise wouldnt have to get the gwp or need to buy stuff you actually wanted to buy but maybe not at that particular moment, lol. Its a marketing strat - I know! But I would still prefer they released themed sets like the forest hideout or this new majisto set as standard retail or lego store exclusive. They could actually do both, standard retail for people who can just afford smaller sets and gwp for people who buy larger sets.

    Dang, castle is getting really popular! Some really nice medieval builds this year. Luckily those sets wont come with any new civilian minifigs, so I wont be feeling like Im missing out
  22. Poco Lypso
    Indeed, its just 3 per box. I lucked out once, shop assistants were bringing 2 new boxes and I was alone in the lego aisle. They let me grab all the orcs and falcons BEFORE putting the boxes on shelves. Lego should get rid of this system alltogether and release themed fig packs. As long as people could 'feel' the bags the gambling aspect was negligible. But with blindboxes it is becoming way too predatory imo.
  23. Poco Lypso
    getting orcs and falcons has been incredibly difficult for me, I didn't get nearly as many as I had hoped for. as for the boxes I might actually resort to buying from scalpers but only for figs which I want just one or two at most. army building would be way too rough...
  24. Poco Lypso
    I have seen a guy post 150 orcs on facebook. I have 11 orcs myself. they are a bit hard to come by for me, lol. ofc I could buy them from scalpers but my rule when it comes to lego is to never spend more than the recommended retail price. too bad I guess.
  25. Poco Lypso
    OOF! I didn't even think about a potential CMF series, lol. Will definitely wait and see what's happening after the rivendell release. As it stands rivendell alone doesn't make too much sense for me as I started with lego after the heyday of castle and lotr, so I don't have anything lotr related in my collection. If they release battlepacks, sets and a cmf series then thats gonna be insanely expensive for me. Oh boy!
