I am a winner! And even better, my picture was chosen for the calendar for today. Thanks to copmike for arranging the competition. I got set E, the LOTR minifigures. Even though I have them all already, at least I avoided those turtles :-)

Oh crap. That's going to bankrupt me.

Nice review. It does look a bit average, apart from the Radagast figure. That cage would have been easy to escape from!

That is a completely different head that he showed on the minifigure. It is not human one side / bot on the other.

I don't care that much for the Simpsons line, but I hope they continue with the numbered series - even if scaling back to one per year, along with one licensed series - and numbering back at series 12. For me, the Movie series is not Series 12, as there is no number on the box. Just like Team GB was skipped in numbering. Also, they do not appear under "Minifigures" theme in the lego.com shop. They are classed as Movie merchandise instead. To me they are not even part of the CMF line, and my CMF collection is complete without needing to buy these (or the Simpsons).

I'll be going for Panda Guy, Larry the Barista and a couple of Shakespeare. The rest I'm not that impressed by, compared to regular CMF. It is such a shame they didn't have a separate beard and hat for Lincoln. That hat would have been perfect for steampunk MOCs. Now there is the dilemma whether to cut the beard off or not. And I prefer that this is called the Lego Movie Series rather than CMF series 12, as that is the official name. Calling it CMF series 12 will lead to problems later if they release the real series 12. Otherwise the CMF Series 11 could have been known as series 12 even though it had 11 on the packet if Team GB had been given a number (8 or 9, I cannot remember exactly when it was out in the CMF timeline).

Thanks for explaining how it works. Makes sense now. And congrats to the past winners.

Do you have a page / tutorial on what you use or how you turn your molding material into ABS?

Me too, the shields are very nicely done. I'm hoping for silver (same as the helmets) and bronze.

Isn't it Arwen's hair? I can see the elf ears.

I have gone with a Super Heroes theme for my bauble. The hanging ring allows it to hang with string from a branch, otherwise there are 26 pieces. This can spin around like a baby's cot mobile, so I'm calling this the Bat Mobile!
