Maybe not. Movie CMF can be released between series 12 and 13.

I could say that, but that's just an educated guess, from the interview it seems to me that the collectible series will be an extra, just like the olympic one.

Can I politely ask why this hype for Johnny Thunder? There's plenty of him on ebay or bricklink at super cheap prices... I myself have dozens of that minifig...

I always get the same problem: torso and legs are not printed. Just heads. Can someone tell me why it happens? Steps I did: created palette folder placed lxf file in it restored LDD

LOL! I was making this post too! Your honour sir! :D

This is incredible, seems like TLC is making 16 minifigures out of the movie... So this means Panda Guy, Abe Lincoln, the Mermaid can fit THIS category. More: when they say new-again... are we getting the space guy again? I am totally excited! Ops I were so excited that I added a "e" to the topic! :D

This is excellent. I do not agree with many choices but I definitively and totally agree on the choice of using only original Lego bricks and not odd-looking customs. Well done!

If you don't want them I'd take them.

Er... Vexorian, I think you should allow people to have a completely different point of view from yours. I read your point, and I completely disagree with you, I really find it hard to agree with even smallest parts. I don't want you to take it like an offence of course, disagreeing is normal among civil people. I think that (and that is only my opinion) A) There is NO way that TLC is making sexists toys. I really have strong difficulties in finding HOW you figure them to be sexist. I mean, you can be convinced for your own reasons, but sexism is totally a different thing from what you say. Sexism is about negative stereotypes, I don't see any of the Friends (or Belville, or Scala, or Paradisa) sets portraiting negative stereotypes. On the other hand, we see girls attending Karate Classes or Magician Studies, where I really fail to remember a female karate champion in movies or shows, or a female Magician... so I would say that TLC was even pushing OVER the classic stereotypes, and PRO women. B) For my experience as a toy seller, it's definitively true that boys appreciate more and enjoy more building toys than women. I don't know if it is biological or social, but is actually what happens. Wander this forum and see how much women are there. Open a toy shop and see how much girls will buy NON-friends lego sets. Go to a lego toy fair and see how many families with female children come. C) It is purely logical and normal that TLC does more male minifigures than female, because boys do buy that more often than girls. I see a big problem here: most people are thinking as AFOLS where Lego is a product for children. And mostly boys buy those. Let's make another example: collectlible minifigures. In every series you have 1/3 of the minifigures which are females. But I really highly doubt that 1/3 of the buyers are females. So the scale is towards girls since the percentage of figures portraited is higher than the people of that gender actually buying those. I am an army builder and I do mainly manly mocs, so most (not all, just most) female minifigures in the collectibles are a wasted place for me. But I really see that I can't complain since there is needed room for them. In the end: I just think the whole "friends controversy" is wrong. Friends is excellent, it helps girls who wouldn't have plaied lego to get closer to this toy I love, it doesn't at all portrait negative female stereotypes, and we should learn to appreciate the big differences there are between man and woman.

Actually it is :) Argh, I will be leaving in 5 days and I will venture into Deutschland, but I won't be able to connect to the internet for 10 days. Thus meaning 100% pictures of S11 will spread out while I'm away and surely they will be removed by an angry TLC staff member before I can see them.

Er... this would work if we had same brains. But we have not, so even if culture is desperately trying to set gender equality for mysterious (to me) purposes, it would never work. That's it, pure and plain.

Hi! I politely disagree with you, there are so many studies supporting what I told that I wouldn't be able to count them. You could pick for example Simon Baron-Cohen. To newbies to this argument I would just reccommend to google "male and female brain differences" and voilà, tons of links explaining why we are so deeply different.

I don't want to sound rude since I have an high esteem for you and your work on eurobricks and it's difficult for me to counter your arguments, but you're wrong here. Usually a man has 7 times the grey matter a woman has, but a woman has 10 times the white matter a man has, whilst having a 10% smaller brains. This makes woman and man's brains indeed TOTALLY different. It is scientifically demonstrated that man and woman reason in a totally different way, though exceptions may occur, and this is seen in the everyday's life. It's just society which is desperately and failing trying to pass everyone the concept that man and woman are interchangable, causing many problems that alas end in sexism. What I observe is: girls are INDEED attracted to that colours and themes, in the vast majority of cases, and I have never seen a boy wanting to buy a Friends set. And I can tell it from a very big experience since I sold hundreds if not thousand of sets to real life people. While boys wanted a very different "set of sets" making them disappear slowly from the shelf, all the girls wanted nothing but Friends making this theme the firs to be sold out in at least two different toy fairs while themes like City, Technic or the others still remained. I can't know if Friends will be used as a bridge to normal lego themes, since it's too new and girls I met still stick to it. I alas never experienced a recurring Friends buyer to go to normal Lego. On my behalf, I would have appreciated a Paradisa-like theme for girls more. But this Friends stuff works perfectly and that's most because girls like those things more than boys do, and this fulfills perfectly their needs as girls. This is no shame. Girls like those colors and kinds of stuff with friendish girls happy living, boys like Ninja and monsters and robots and whatever. That's the way it is and I don't see any need for saying it differently.

Let's play some questions on this topic, since no pictures are showing. 1) Will the welder mask have a hinge than can lift it? What's behind the mask? Normal hair? 2) Will the tiki warrior have a mask or a painted face? 3) Will the scarecrow have normal legs/body? 4) Will the barbarian wear a cape? Which weapon will he have? 5) Will the granny come out with a cake? Would she be a pairing for the grandma visitor from S7? 6) What will the jazz player play? A Sax? 7) Will the diner waitress wear rollerblades? Let's play! :D

You are a very patient person. Perhaps in Italy I am used to face situations like these very often so I already know how to behave. IF I am allowed to give you a small piece of advice, I would suggest you this: when you face similar situations, and you pass too much time according to your own limits, in a very polite (raising the voice won't do any good) way just ask to be redirected to the supervisor of the assistent, saying that you can claim legal actions and you will go on further until you get satisfaction either in getting your money, your goods, or a legal justice. Alas, sometimes you must use a menacing attitude to get what you want. The more calm and polite you remain when you menace actions, the more you will be credited.

As previously said dozens of times, TLC will NEVER release a modern warfare minifigure. I just don't get why is still people failing to understand this simple concept. No offence meant.

I would like to add my 2p again on this topic after reading on and on for pages of comments. I really, really feel like as if WHICHEVER theme will have critics and thumbs up. No matter how they would have released "Friends", this topic would have been open all the way. TLG does what it's for: a toys company. And they have to sell. I am very, very often in toy shops, and I see what girls usually buy. Friends, in Italy, was a total success. In my toy fairs, before the advent of the Friends theme, I rarely sold lego products to little girls. It happened, of course, but in the ratio of 1 to 10 compared to boys. Since the debut of this theme, instead, the proportions were balanced. I really think it's not only bad, but also stupid, deciding in the place of little girls what should be better for them, when it's about LEGO. Friends has no wrong female stereotypes, and if my girl preferes it compared to a classic Lego theme, what's the problem? Selling datas are giving TLG all the reasons to regard Friends as one of their better commercial choices in the last years. What I can only tell is : did we really need those new minifigures? That's my only little concern about that. For the rest: there are more male minifigures than female? I fail to see any problem in it. Really, I fail. I am in a very, very large LUG, and girls are really 1 out of 10. Girls may like lego too, of course, but usually it doesn't grow as a strong passion as it goes for boys. I really see all this sexism problem as totally invented just for creating some noise and trying to lower the image of TLC, by those people who are never satisfied no matter what is going on. When people will start to understand that female and male are not interchangable because have TOTALLY different brains, they reason in a totally different way, they approach life in a totally different way, this world will work better. Until that time, in which males want to act as females, or vice versa, this kind of confusion will always generate anger.

I thought about this so many times... Why don't you go CUUSOO? You'd get so many votes!!!

Actually this also may be a design for s9 mermaid who never hit the market for some reasons.

I just think it only depends on which role will play the mermaid in the movie. If she's a main, no wonders about seeing her in a official Movie set.

[rant mode on] Come ON. Pictures anyone? Leaked infos? I want to know how the scarecrow, the barbarian and the tiki warrior will look like. I KNOW someone out there reading already knows this. POST the freaking pictures! [rant mode off] Ok just kidding, anticipation is killing me

This is why I got dozens of 'em too.

I'm so frustrated I can't join the party. Some of my friends from Rome are, and I really was THIS close to bring some MOCs of mine...

Actually they used placeholders in old catalogues..

Yes but I recall catalogues with placeholders... I am a bit saddened by that.
