Ok considering I always get at least 2x of every minifig, here are there my shop list: Cheerleader 2x Football player 2x Skier 2x Diver 2x Gentleman 2x Bavarian 3x Alien 3x Robot 2x Fairy 3x Batman 10x Actor 10x Conquistador 5x Pirate 2x Santa 3x Dj 2x Cowgirl 2x Considering that in series 7 I picked up 10x viking woman, 20x knight and 20x marine... this series IMHO is the worse of all 8. I hope 9 will be better.

Here are the results! 47 people played this game! :thumbup: 15 Guessed right for a PIRATE!

The game is won by... THE BRICK RAT who guessed right a FEMAL SKIER, an OLD STYLE DIVER, a FAIRY and a CONQUISTADOR. :thumbup: I thank you everybody for having plaied this game, the EB staff for having me let this topic go on and indexing this, and I welcome you to the new topic of the SERIES 9 GUESSING GAME to open soon (if nothing against it, of course).

They listened to me! Gameover, and here are the pics. Perfect XD

Well, after all, one thing is sure. Minifig production is (if not totally, at least nearly) complete, and they will be shipped soon all over the world, if they think they should sell them in 40 days. Some "evil" afol will have the chance to take a picture of a box for sure. TLC has succeeded in conceiling the 16 minifigs, further more there are a lot of people still asking if that shopkeeper said the truth about "half" being correct. We are questioning a lot about that, but if really S8 is out in Semptember (and we have no reasonable doubt for thinking they will delay it), time for pictures has really come, and we will know. (I personally claim false the rumour that half list is not correct) Last year, about august if I recall correctly, we had spoilers on S6 pictures (9 out of 16) from that chinese forum. The others were revealed in november. So, we should be near to spoilers to S9 and S8 still is a mistery. They really have done well, I repeat, congrats TLC, but now really, game over, show the $&%$& pics!!!

I'm pretty certain there won't be a minifig using that hat.

IMHO feeling the bags has 100% success ratio, so it's already enough :)

Thank you very much for your work, Bonaparte. :)

These are my personal predictions, and I have NO sources at all. -The football player will be an american football player. It will use (as already said) the Hockey parts. I honestly do NOT believe he will come with a ball. I instead believe he will be dressed in red to match the new cheerleader. -The diver will be and old stile one. -The vampire will sure look like the manbat in the vampyre castle (I believe that rumour). -The alien will look a little "avatarish" like on Toth's design. -The trader will be a businessman. He will come with another portable PC. -Pirate captain will have a peg leg. -The cowgirl will come indeed with WW's lazo, but in reddish brown. I repeat these are personal predictions, not a source at all.

I am an easy person, I really am here to enjoy my favourite toys, but I think everyone has something that annoys oneself if insulted. For me, that is my city, Rome. I don't like anybody who doesn't even know it to insult it. Maybe they can insult the italian parliament, I am the first to do it, or even ME, before I get that outraged... but not my city. I am so proud of being a roman you can't really tell. So I believe everybody should watch their words before making a comment that is clearly giving a bad (and FALSE) view on something people don't know very well. If even one person thought there are really prostitutes wandering around the coliseum, he succeeded and my rage was motivated. Plus, that was really gratuit and bad taste. I have been in dozens of foreign country and I respect those people, I would never start a list of the no-goes of that country. And believe me, any country has its ones.

It's not funny of you for sure, because this is really getting ridicolous. Instead of apologizing, you keep this thing on? Ok I will reply you. So I have been going that way TWO times per day for 6 years and never met some of this 'ladies'. So sorry, but I honestly do not believe that. This happens every city of the world, but I would have liked really to see you commenting the very same fact on other MOCs. Which you didn't. So you have experienced dozen of pickpockets. I believe that since your speaks, you got back to your country in your birthday suit. Or perhaps nobody pickpocketed you anything? In my life the only time I have been lifted was in LONDON UK, never happened in Rome, and I please to remember you that I did that path twice per day for 6 years. I never said there aren't. Ah I see... you make yourself strong and proud because someone else defending you? I reply the way I like, when you insult me. And you did. And you didn't even apologize for being racist. Have you ever read me complaining about that? Man have you the minimal idea of what you are talking about? Listen, you are really insulting. Would you have liked if I saw a MOC of an australian landscape and told "yes... it's good, but I miss a mad man with a chainsaw cutting to pieces some poor tourists?" and you know that happened in your country. But that would have been racist and bad taste in this forum. I have never build a Coliseum MOC, nor never will I, I don't really get why you think I'm building one. You are speaking of things you don't know, and you should watch your words and your post before starting a fight and offending people you really don't know. I just let it go the part on which you believe to know about a place by having visited it ONCE before it's really self-explanatory. I instead thank you for having apologized about insulting a population with your stereotypes, which probably welcomed you with all honours in our beautiful country.

I live in Rome since 33 years and I have never experienced pickpockets, burglars, PROSTITUTES near the colosseum, and I've studied at a university that was attached to it. This is very stereotypical of one who has NEVER been there. I feel entitled to be not only offended but HIGHLY OUTRAGED as a roman citizen. I ask myself wheter you are roman or not (though I already know the answer), and if you have been there or not. If you have been there I challenge you to point me a PROSTITUTE near the coliseum. Why? When you are slapped in the face, would you like the other person to say you "I didn't slap you that hard, don't whine please"?. YOU know how hard it felt, not the person who slapped you. That was offensive, and if you are not roman, you can't see that.

This is really offensive. I am reporting this to the administrators.

How did you acknowledge that?

Well... not to be rude... but you just also did...

Same here, really!

Mime is from series 2. Apart from that I will say Elf, Spartan, Zombie, Roman, Evil Knight, Galaxy Patrol, Evil Dwarf.

My 2p: I was all in for LEGO PIRATES when I was 10, but before that I was a citizen! Imho, I stepped away from lego when they started realeasing 4juniors, jackstone, and that crap. I thought they were renouncing to the classic minifig. Lego creating a new kind of minifig would have been the end of my dreams. I also was largely disappointed by Vikings fighting what it seemed to me "mechanic monsters".. really bad.. but then with Fantasy Era they brought me back in. And CMF did the rest, I never hoarded shops for lego as much as now that I have CMFs!

Well I too am really too much into fantasy figures. This is why, fairy excepted (and I can't really tell about the vampire), this serie is going to be among my less favorite. Series 1 had ZOMBIES and forestmen, but I yet wasn't hoarding them. S2 had vampires (at that time, the only vampire was the one in the studios set, which I own 5, and was very rare) and also spartans were so fantastic. S3 had... elves... IMHO still the best minifigure realized. S4 had nothing very special, I bought some wolfmen, some Frankenstein, and a lot of vikings. S5 asked me to buy gladiators and at least 20 dwarves. S6... can't tell really, highland battlers, leprechauns, minotaurs, romans, genies... too many figs... I depleted my wallet. S7 evil knights a go go, but also grandma visitors or ocean kings... really a good one. And then here it comes S8 with just a fairy and MAYBE a vampire. It's disappointing, I really look forward to see those pictures, I come here every day to see if they spawn... but I believe I will so soon look for S9 after that...

It was me, in the first time it was really confusing, they say a judge, instead it was the graduate. I agree with you, to me also this seems to be the final list, with some problems of interpretation. Time has nearly come. I still believe that the "evil female alien" will be something else in the end.

Actually, most minifig if you swap heads, can work as army builder!

No I don't think so. If ever, they will make him a new mold OR reuse the one for Hockey Player.

Bought 60 of these guys, with friends of mine!

Hello. Waiting for the pictures, I give you some results. 47 people casted their votes. I will keep the individual results secret until pictures are revealed, but I give you some anticipations. 15 people out of 47 said there was gonna be some sort of pirate. 10 people out of 47 said there was goona be a fairy. 6 people out of 47 said there was gonna be a female skier. 6 people out of 47 said there was gonna be an old style diver. 5 people out of 47 said there was gonna be an american football player. 5 people out of 47 said there was gonna be a Conquistador. 4 people out of 47 said there was gonna be a greek civilian/phylosopher. 3 people out of 47 said there was gonna be a Santa. 2 people out of 47 said there was gonna be a yodeller (the closest thing I see with a bavarian suit boy) 2 people out of 47 said there was gonna be a female vampire. 1 people out of 47 said there was gonna be a stock trader. 1 people out of 47 said there was gonna be a Cowgirl. No one guessed a DJ, another Cheerleader, a female evil alien, or an evil robot. 10 people out of 47 (alas, including me) didn't guess ANY of the minifigures. If things are confermed, two people will win ex-aequo this game. Stay tuned.

Indeed.
