    While I don't absolutely love any of these, I voted for the Alien because Space could use some love and it is a pretty cool fig.

    That sounds fantastic. Never thought about it, but now I want it.

    Dang, Eggy. Those are great. Nice list and the visuals help a lot.

    I went to a local Walmart that showed in stock on brickseek. Had a guy enter the SKU into the computer and the result was not in stock. Oh well.

    Again, nothing army builder about the gladiators. (And neither weapon is medieval) Just look at the secondary market for the Spartan. It averages over $20 on bricklink and is generally considered to be one of the best and most highly sought after. Batman is is still available at retail. That may not be a fair way to judge "best CMF" and maybe Vacation Batman will some day be just as sought after (I personally doubt it), but I still think it's a factor.

    The gladiators are not army builders at all. Completely individualized. The fly fly is cool, but series 5 gladiator won for me. :)

    That is great news! I hope it's true.
  8. SirBlake
    Agreed! Glad they're hitting early.

    I am pleasantly surprised that Shakespeare is performing so well. I figured my vote for him would be wasted and then I saw the results. Way to go, "The Bard"!

    I hope you're right. I miss buying Lego.

    We're talking about army building like kids don't do it too. You know how many original Kenner stormtroopers I had as a kid? More than a few, but not nearly as many as I wanted, I'll tell you that.

    Spectacular review as always, thank you!!!
  13. SirBlake
    Certainly not. They're great figs on their own and really lack nothing. It's just an extra (or at least, different) bit of fun when there's an army builder in there. I'm not so much lamenting the absence of one as I am commenting that none exists in this series. That's ok by me.

    I'm not saying it can't be done, just that they don't qualify as good army builders in the way that the Rogue or Frightening Knight do. For example, I don't have nearly as much use for an army of elf chicks with the same dress and limited hair options, or dwarves with the same tattoos and crazy red Mohawk, or even gladiator as they all tend to have pretty unique looks in a way that something like a knight doesn't. By all means, army build to your heart's content, but they don't make the cut for me. I love them and will absolutely get one or two of each, but I'm not getting 8 or 10 of any of them like I have others that are better suited for armies.

    No. Just no.
  16. SirBlake
    Yay! Thank you

    Should be out in May. Some may find them a week or two earlier.
  18. SirBlake
    That would make it more interesting for sure. Or different torso prints/colors or something.

    Had to be the king for me, simply because that new crown/hair piece rescued us from a 30+ year old crown mold that had not aged well.

    The detail on these is really impressive. Lion pauldron on the gladiator is good, tattoo and hammer detail on the dwarf is really fun, and the armor on the elf is maybe the biggest surprise. If I'm being a weenie about it (and let's face it, I am), my only complaint is that as great as these are, none are good army building candidates. That's a small gripe though. Look how nice they are!

    This is a spectacular build. Don't know how I missed it before, but seriously great work.

    The Tolkien family owns the rights to the Silmarillion and has no desire whatsoever to license it for film, unfortunately.
  23. SirBlake
    Glad the knight is winning this one. It is a truly outstanding minifig. The printing is just great.
  24. SirBlake
    I don't know how you managed to make one of the gnarliest parts of the film look so charming, but there it is.

    Let's not hang too much responsibility on designers. The designers make what they're told to make from other decision makers. I'm sure many designers, if not most, love traditional castle but they're not being directed to create those themes these days.
