Unfortunately, it doesn't seem like there will be. If anything, we'll get a vave Winter 2015.

It's unfortunate, because it could really be one of the highest grossing films in 2014 if they advertised on channels and movies for an older age audience (like PG-13 movies, or Fox, NBC, CBS, ect). Everyone I know was surpised when I told them the release date was February 7th.

In the original press release: They did the same with Minecraft.

I mean, there's only one X-Men set confirmed for 2014, so they have to be in the same set.

According to Brickset it's only $20, so I really don't mind. That means eight TMNT sets for 2014... wow! I love how Juniors is getting its own share of licensed sets. That's cool!

The British Toy Fair is January 21st, but we don't usually get pictures there. German one is January 29th, and we usually get a few pictures there. The United States one is February 16th, and we get so many pictures there! I can only find 'em here at the moment: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OiAIbz3xj4w

Woah, these are truely amazing. I've never seen bigfig customs before. Fantastic job!

They didn't want to include the watermark. Oh, I never expressed my thoughts on these prelims. Arctic is eh, but I love the dogsled. I like the Passenger Train, as it's like the 2006 one that I missed out on.

I was talking about this version. According to the Wikia, it was "How Flanders was once pictured by Marge when she was writing a book." Again, I don't remember the episode. Back to this house set, I'm starting to think we won't see an early V.I.P. release for it. Which is perfect. February 1st is a Saturday, so I'm off that day!

I forget which episode that is... The character is still technically alive, but I'm not sure if we'll see her in a LEGO set as she's a retired character. It depends how long ago this CMF series was produced. If it was before the death of the VA, then we may see her in the CMF series.

Ha! Marge has always had a thing for Ned. Stuff like this makes me want to get Marge's fantasized shirtless Ned as a minifigure. And, Ned isn't single, it's just that Edna is a retired character. So technically she's still around. I hope she comes in the CMF series, but she isn't the most exciting character. I guess we'll see soon.

I really hope this is what we're all hoping it is. Oh, and some people I've been talking to who have seen the catalog say it's called Ultra Agents.

Like, a LEGO represenative gives them the catalog to look at for a short bit. The store owners or whoever manages the stock browses through the catalog. Anywho... while the Summer 2014 wave of these from what we've seen doesn't really impress me, I can't wait until the "winter" wave come out in the Spring here in the States!

I don't want to veer off topic, but if you work at a small retail chain, I believe you have to see through it to determine which sets you're going to order shipments of.

I like the idea of a Krusty doll, but I'm not sure if Bart would think that's "cool". We wouldn't get a slingshot mould, as they're banned in Australia I believe (see the Lone Ranger Train, where they just printed one on a tile). It's just odd that they wouldn't put his "iconic" accessory there. I wouldn't mind getting it again in the CMF series.

It certainly is a misprint. I'd keep it! It's a nice novelty.

The apron part was out of date and from the original list. I'll re-edit that, as I didn't see that before I made this new post. I still think Bart will have his skate board, but maybe with the stuff printed and not a sticker this time. I mean, what other accessory will he have.

Okay, I'll give it a shot. Here's an updated version of this really elaborate list I posted. That was before the Squinkies came out. Homer (obvious- confirmed by Nerdly and the Danish newspapers; I speculate this version will come with a doughnut as the accessory and will have regular eyes unlike the leaked figure) Marge (obvious- confirmed by Nerdly and the Danish newspapers; I speculate this version will come with Santa's Little Helper thrown in) Bart (obvious- confirmed by Nerdly and the Danish newspapers; skateboard should be the accessory) Lisa (obvious- confirmed by Nerdly and the Danish newspapers; Series 11 sax could be the accessory with Snowball, too) Apu (confirmed by Nerdly; appeared in Series 1 of the Kidrobot figures, and the recent Butterfinger promo; the accessory could be a hot dog or milk carton) Itchy (confirmed by Nerdly; chainsaw or mallet should come as the accessories and a mouse tail) Scratchy (confirmed by Nerdly; axe or mallet should come as the accessories and a cat tail) Chief Wiggum (confirmed by Nerdly; appeared in Series 1 of the Kidrobot figures and has his own Library of Wisdom book; accessory will probably be a different colored doughnut and a new color baton) Moe (confirmed by Nerdly; appeared in Series 2 of the Kidrobot figures and has his own Library of Wisdom book; accessory will be tricky... maybe a normal cup and his special apron?) Maggie (she comes in The Simpsons House set; I hope the version in the House is exclusive to that set but it's unlikely...her accesory could come with the E=MC^2 reference printed on a few 1x1 blocks, or Bobo. It will be something basic as she has two new moulds, and I'm guessing she'll be a "rare" figure) Krusty (speculation by me; extremely popular character who has appeared in Series 1 and Series 3 of the Kidrobot figures, has his own Library of Wisdom book, Squinkie, appears in the House set on a poster, and is in the most recent Butterfinger promo; accessory should be Mr. Teeny or a Krusty burger) Abe (speculation by me; another essential character- he just appeared in the most recent Butterfinger promo, Series 2 of the Kidrobot figures, and a Squinkie; not sure what accessory he will have... maybe a cane?) Ned (appears in the House set not in his normal clothes, so he's confirmed; I'm guessing he'll have some "left-handed" hedge clippers or something. I do want a Bible, but that will never happen) Comic Book Guy (speculation by me; got a Series 1 Kidrobot figure, his own Library of Wisdom book, appeared in the recent Butterfinger promo, and got a Squinkie; guessing he'll come with a comic book accessory) Milhouse (speculation by me; extremely popular character, appeared in Series 2 of the Kidrobot Simpsons stuff, he was in the recent Butterfinger promo, and got a Squinkie; I'm not sure what accessory he'll have... maybe another comic book?) Mr. Burns (speculation by me; extremely popular character, appeared in Series 1 and 3 of the Kidrobot Simpsons figures, in that Coca Cola ad, in the Butterfinger ad- I have a feeling we'll get him, despite him not getting a Squinkie; it makes me sad we probably aren't going to get Smtihers in the first CMF series; his accessory would be a hound or something to do with money) Omitted from the out of date list: "Ralph (speculation by me; though he didn't appear in the most recent Butterfinger promo, he did get his own Library of Wisdom book, a Squinkie, and two KidRobot figures. I... I guess I just really want Ralph . His accessory would be a glue thing)"

I'd imagine the House set will sell extremely well, but making another set is tricky. If anything, it would be a D2C set. If LEGO is willing to make new moulds for D2C sets, the possibilities are endless. If they won't, we can still have sets like Bart's Treehouse (maybe a $35 D2C like the Minecraft Microworlds. It depends if Milhouse comes in the CMF series) and the Kwik-E-Mart (we're getting Apu in the CMF series). I wonder if the Monorail would require new moulds...

It has, oddly enough.

I'm guessing about two years, but if LEGO is allowed to sell it more than that, (I'm not sure if there's licensing problems for selling a licensed set as long as they want?) I'm sure they will. This is bound to be a huge licensed seller like the Death Star...

Yep, a nice reference to Lisa's Sax.

Interesting figure indeed! I hope the brown is just the regular light brown or dark brown, I can't really tell from the picture.

Ah, I love that smell. It gives me a headache actually. But I love it. It reminds me of Series 1. I mean, essentially all CMFs are made in China. Granted, this is the first series I noticed this smell since about Series 3, but it keeps the cost low. I have all sixteen, and they have no quality flaws or anything. I'd say they're the same quality as the past few CMF series.

EDIT: Oh, just understood this. It's odd, but I guess TLG wants to focus on The LEGO Movie products for now.
