The upcoming set is now confirmed to be a ToS Bridge. Summer release, no word on price or part count.

Yup! Nintendo and Lego posted a teaser of a Lego Mario minifigure jumping out of a pipe about a week ago.

I have four thoughts going through my mind at this point: 1. Wahoo! Finally! Can't wait to hopefully get some! 2. The printing on Mario is, overall, quite simple. Yes, the head is complex, but the clothes are overall fairly simple. This makes me think that this line will be more geared towards kids, and there should be more, cheaper sets (like Animal Crossing) as opposed to a handful of expensive sets (like Zelda). 3. I wonder if Mario will simply replace the Animal Crossing line? Animal Crossing hasn't felt like it's done great sales-wise, and Mario could easily take its place and budget. 4. Prediction for the January 2027 CMF: Vacuum Salesman, which will make new molds for the Poltergust 3000. That doesn't bother me at all, honestly. I think 95% of minifigures fit just fine into the regular leg/short leg dynamic, and only a very select few need midi-legs or skinny Woody limbs. I suppose that, at worst, you could give him short blue legs so he can be like the pre-mushroom Mario in the 2D games

Funny you should say that; we've actually already gotten him! Though they could go with a "girl zombie suit" to switch things up.

Zombie Mr. Gold Zombieified Zombie Zombie Venom The possibilities are endless!

I've always had a dream of a "Mrs. Silver" to pair with Mr. Gold. Probably wouldn't be able to make it in chrome, but it's a thought.

I hopped on the WALT train at the last minute as well. I figured that, at absolute worst, I can cancel the order before it ships if I'm really regretting things some May.

WALT is tempting me - might make for a fun, unique desk toy. Everything else isn't in the budget for me this time, though.

Sounds like a potential January 2027 CMF?

Mushroom Haven - the creator, JonasKramm, has the instructions and part list for sale here.

I think it's more likely Dragon + Donkey. Shrek will sell plenty on his own, so might as well break up the main iconic duo.

Called it! I'll set a set of them - maybe an extra of a few of them, we'll see. Hopefully there's enough budget to set some good accessories as well.

Unikitty was at least a buildable figure with several parts - I think Donkey would either be a single mold or a body + head, like Scooby-Doo. In that context, I'm less sure which route Lego would go with.

My biggest wish if they are going the Shrek route is that the series is "Shrek" and not "Shrek 5". I'd much rather have Farquad and Fairy Godmother over Shrek's kids. I also wonder what they would do with Donkey - does he get his own slot, or is he an accessory?

Update from Bricktap on the September CMF: "I wouldn’t rule out a 2027 movie for the series after 29" Makes me think Shrek is back on the table.

I think I'll give myself a half point for my Dragon Hatcher (the idea I had in my head is similar to the Monster Hunter), and maybe a tenth of a point each for predicting a food costume and a new tiara. So, .7 points for me!

My mind goes towards this from Lego Fortnite. Pretty similar.

I took a quick peak at the trailer, and there's a lot of background characters or extra "Things 3-12" that could be used to fill some slots. Or, it could just be a general Seuss series to broadly tie-in with the movie, like what happened with Looney Tunes and Space Jam 2. For now, I'll either guess Seuss or Shrek - there's a chance the leakers didn't realize the movie was bumped back and got that bit wrong (it's happened before).

1. Another soccer player after getting the referee a few years ago and the upcoming soccer sets feels a little redundant... Wouldn't be surprised if the minifig was made just to make the new ball mold for the soccer sets. Can see other people liking it, pass for me. 2. Maine Biologist sounds similar to the Diver with the turtle as well... Hopefully this one is more lab coat scientist-looking. Hopefully we get two clownfish with the figure, though. 3. New instrument? Nice! Will probably get one. 4. Assuming that this is the "unicorn elf" whose minifig leaked - I like her! Not a huge fan of the gold hair color, but overall looks good. Getting a unicorn with here will be a great bonus! 5. Monster Hunter... I assume that is some Van Helsing-looking figure? I might also guess a girl, or it could overlap too much with the Highwayman. Glad I called reusing the D&D dragon piece! On my wishlist. 6. I hope the "Robot T-Rex" is an actual molded robot like the old ones and not a costume. Molded I'll get, costume I'll skip. 7. Chocolatier could go either way... I'll need to see it to judge. 8. Boba cup costume? Lame! Easy pass. 9. Not really a Bonkle guy myself, but I feel like I ought to get one. Feels like one of those "classic" things like the brick costumes that might not hurt to get. 10. So, the "Mysterious ronin" is Lloyd? If he just looks liek Lloyd, I'll pass. If he brings something new to the table, I might consider it. 11. "Standard witch" doesn't sounds hugely promising after two great witches from the D&D Series and Build a Minifig. I'll wiat for photos. 12. Already seen him - I'll probably get one. Overall, sounds pretty solid! If two minifigs have already leaked, I wouldn't be surprised if we soon saw the rest. Yes - that's how palnet described it. Still might have an accessory, though.

One figure has now been leaked - Garbage Monster! With Lloyd and Tahu already rumored to come, that only leaves nine slots left... 1. Old-Timey Explorer (Charles Darwin-like minifig with dodo animal) 2. Salon Stylist (Female minifig with at least two brand new hair pieces for accessories - kinda like Dog Sitter from awhile back) 3. Hamburger Costume Girl (I know we jsut got a bunch of costumes, but I have a feeling one will sneak in regardless...) 4. Detective Gal (A nod to the now-public domain Nancy Drew, maybe even in greyscale like Noir Detective) 5. Proper Princess (Purple princess costume with new tiara, similar in style to Fantasy Era's princess) 6. Fire Demon (Mostly trans-orange, will immediately be hoarded by people wanting Johnny Storm customs) 7. Baker Woman (Featuring a new rolling pin mould and/or a piping bag) 9. Lion Costume Dancer (featuring a Chinese lion head and a cape to represent the body) 10. Dragon Hatcher (featuring a recolored purple gradon from D&D and a new color of egg)

It originated from Vidiyo, though, so it deserved the nod over Dreamzzz imo. Didn't realize we were already to the point of getting pictures of next series - better go make my guesses before a list of leaflet leaks!

It's been around for 15 years without stopping. I'd say that it is. Heck, Lego has even called 1992, 1996, and even 2002 minifigures "vintage" in only 2008 (16, 12, and 6 years after their release respectively). 15 would definitely be in reason in that case.

My Walmart had two boxes out when I stopped by this afternoon - one was almost full, and one was almost empty. Seem to be pretty popular thus far! I was still able to get everything I wanted, though: lion, monkey, croc, and frog (plus two other ones for gifts)

We are getting the animal costume series in a week - I imagine anything Zootopia related would have to wait awhile to come out. And it might make just as much sense to only do Judy and Nick in a CMF, or maybe one set with 3-4 characters, as opposed to a full CMF.

We can always hope that we get something with minifigs later, like Wicked ended up getting... Hopefully those sets were popular enough that Lego would consider it worth it! I'd be quite interested in a minifig-based set, but I'll pass on mini dolls.
