LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 15 Rumors and Discussion

Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 1 Discussion
gedren_y replied to just2good's topic in LEGO Licensed
The server to the link is down right now, but I am doubtful about the listing. Donald is more likely to have a microfigure Chip or Dale, maybe both, but probably not. Pluto, if we get him in the series, is more likely to go with Mickey, since Donald would require more new molds than Mickey. The lack of both Goofy and Daisy on the list is also suspect. The speculation of a Disney set as companion to the series seems more plausible than this list.- 4,155 replies

"You are correct, sir!" How could I have forgotten those? I don't have them, and like the CMF version, don't want them. If I do get one, I'll cheaply trade it. I'd rather have the Laser Robot. -

Agreed. I have both other shark figs, Atlantis and Harry Potter, and the shark parts of those figs so far have been useless. -

I think that the face of the CMF Aztec Warrior makes for a more accurate Ultimate Warrior. -

This City torso is why I see the upcoming Astronaut as City. It is also how Lego ties the City and Space themes into one universe. -

The word is still very offensive, and considered at minimum condescending, but has also been used a racialized epithet. It doesn't belong to all Native American languages, as well. The word has been removed from a number of longstanding terms and place names in the US. While the fig design looks very northeastern Native American, from where the pronunciation originates, don't use it. Call her Native Mother, and be done with it. -
KKII the worst? Please! The main complaint about the theme was the overly colorful knights, which is easily remedied by simply changing out some parts. I currently have a fig that uses the Sir Santis armor, and would gladly give the new CMF shield to him. The new knight fig can have one of my Sir Kentis shields. The theme got progressively better in the fig department. Sure Morcia was poorly executed (though still better than KKI), but the idea of a major castle that could be recolored to suit the faction was great. KKI was far worse. Sure, Lego gave us their first warrior princess, but the sets were structurally pathetic. The bad guys, of which there were only three, only had siege machines (a lot of them) and one dragon. The structures were overly simplistic. The King's sigil was a pretty bad reuse of the Royal Knights' lion (which I actually liked) on the blue and yellow background. I still say that any future historical/fantasy line during Nexo Knights (if we get one) would be something other than medieval Europe.

That trophy will be in at least one Friends set next year, 41121 Adventure Camp Rafting, but this should be the cheapest unless a Bricklink store has no minimum purchase. -

It is rare that I keep a figure as is, even if it's only a small change. I think I only kept Egyptian Queen and Spooky Girl as is so far. Parts galore here. -

The bear on the shield is grey, so it could be used with Sir Santis. I'd give this knight (I don't think the word 'scary' really applies) the Sir Kentis unicorn shield. -
Minifigures Series 16 Guessing Game
gedren_y replied to Itaria No Shintaku's topic in Special LEGO Themes
Mostly my Series 15 guess list with some changes. 1) Dark Princess: Black dress with flame orange lines running down it, new white hair/black crown mold, and a dark brown Nexo Knights style book with the words "Destruction Manual" printed in white, and 1x2 tile with a nuclear explosion image. 2) Ring Bearer: A small boy dressed up, nice hair. Pillow mold that can hold two of the rings. They have already been used outside of LOTR/Hobbit. 3) Birthday Girl: Friends style hair with pin hole, one of the 2016 party hats in pearl silver, one of the existing cloth skirts, birthday cake slice (new mold), dual face happy and crying "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to." 4) Masked Pirate: think Princess Bride, black bandanna mask with eye holes and a rapier in black 5) Terracotta Warrior: New armor piece, Sumo Wrestler hair, and the Elven Warrior sword (has been used out side of LOTR/Hobbit), all in dark orange 6) Heroic Shepherd: Headdress from Egyptian Warrior in medium dark flesh, with brown printing, new 'shepherd's bow' type sling, round shield 7) Anime Fan-girl: Zombie Cheerleader's hair in pink or purple, 'Sailor uniform' type dress, backpack, this part in pink. 8) Lumber-Jill: tree climbing gear - rope (from Mountain climber) in reddish brown, hard hat/hair blue with bright yellow hair, and shoe spikes (similar to the skates), two toned arms, printed like rolled up sleeves, hatchet. 9) Matador: brightly colored suit, a new cape-like flag mold in red and a hat like the butcher's in pearl gold with some printing. 10) Bear suit guy: exactly how it sounds. 11) Organ Grinder: little box with a rotating handle (brick built) and a new minifig scale capuchin monkey (the old version is way out of scale). 12) Postal Carrier (could be female): blue or dark blue hat with hair (black), a new cross body satchel capable of holding two 2x2 tiles, a 2x2 plate and a 2x2 tile in the same color with the tile printed like a package or maybe a Lego set. 13) Friendly Alien: short legs, dark blue with pale blue spots. a sort of flat horizontal head with attachment points for two of the new cattle horns in pale blue (as ears), maybe a 2x2 tile printed with a screen and "I come in peace." 14) Female Wrestler: To go with the two guys. Maybe the Judge's robe, boot mold/printing, arm printing for muscles, and a folding chair weapon as a new accessory. 15) Exterminator: Using the sprayer piece from the bio-hazard guy, wine bottle in pearl grey with poison symbol printed on it, spider in medium azure. 16) Pulp Spaceman: sort of classic Flash Gordon type with a new clear cylinder dome helmet that can fit over the classic male hair and a ray gun in bright orange. -

Well, I got the gender wrong (hopefully a 'diva' will come later), but I did call the title belt. I may copy most of my list for a Series 16 guessing game. -

The Knight has the same shield mold as the Egyptian Warrior, just held the other way. -
I am happy that my suspicions have been confirmed about the side panel pieces on the Fortrex being a new part, and not simply a printed detail. One of the upcoming City sets has them in olive green, which I think I will buy instead.

For those calling the Kendo fig's weapons katanas, they have the square guard, so are recognized as shamshir (the word is both singular and plural). I can't tell which model it is though, 21459 or 30173b. -

A number of disappointments, but I will reserve judgement. Whitefang's review shouldn't be too long now. It is the armor used on Fluminox and Frax from Chima. -

Please make it be for Hannah Montana, and not a music video. I was forced to dance the electric slide to Achy Breaky Heart in gym class from sixth grade to eighth grade. Now I can't stand most country music. That winged helmet will do well for a Nestlands fig in GOH. -
It is plausible that what was meant by "updates" is keeping the community apprised of what's going on with LDD. That they are no longer doing.

If you look at the Ultimate sets names you'll see that there is a typo. 70334 should be Ultimate Beast Master not Ultimate Macy. I noticed this earlier when Brickset posted it on Flickr.

In the latest Nexo Knights video, at the end there is a farmer bot wearing a hat that looks more conical than the one on the CMF Scarecrow. This gives me hope that the upcoming Farmer will have a new hat.
