LEGO Collectable Minifigures Future Series Rumours

[Amazing Bricks]

Maybe they could sneak it in as "beverage maker".

Yes

I suppose it's possible. I'd fully support a nun minifigure, though I imagine TLG would cook up some fairly weak story about the thematic differences between a nun minifigure and a minifigure of child in an imp costume, and why one was doable, but not the other.

I'd say the differences are significant enough.

It's all in how they frame it. Call her Good Samaritan.

That implies she's from Samaria. And that she's good. That stifles creativity. She could be an Evil Hungarian Nun, or something.

That is a religious name as well

A religious minifigure should be doable if they come up with some story about it. If religious and political figures are not allowed then why was Abraham Lincoln a minifigure for TLM series?

He's not a political figure, he's a historical one.

So maybe some type of Mother Teresa could work? Maybe not, she was too recent.

I know. I've been thwarted by LEGO's insufferable political correctness. I can't see a way around this stricture against religious minifigures.

I guess I could make my own by heresying some Shadow Guards.

The William Shakespeare CMF's headpiece would be good for a tonsure.

A nun figure should be no problem - 'Sound of Music costume girl' ;)

Evil Hungarian Nun

That would be two series later, reusing the same parts in different colors.

(I would buy 4)

Good call.

I get that Abe Lincoln is a historical figure, but he represents such an important role in political history. Mother Teresa would definitely be too recent. Only thing i can imagine is some kind of fictional religious character, though it sounds strange.

I just thought about the Singing Nun who recorded an album in the 70s i believe. she could be a possibility.

[samurai-turtle]

How about the "Flying Nun"? Then we would have unofficial Sally Feilds mini-figure.

Either way, the Nun should be something put into this thread, not really a discussion here.

I forgot to share this, it's kinda important.

CMFs next year will go up in price in Europe so they'll be 3.99 €. Don't know if it affects the US yet.

CMFs next year will go up one Euro so they'll be.. $4, $5 Euros? Don't know if it affects the US yet.

What????

Is this an August Fools' joke?

They just closed the MMO

What is the extra money for?

Oh gawd. Not again.

[Borex]

They go up in price? Why? They're pretty expensive as it is right now. Boooo!

[Metanoios]

Series 15 and 16 cost 2.99 € in Germany. If the 2017 series are raised to 3.99 €, this would equate to exactly 4.50 US Dollars at the current exchange rate... Right now your price over there in the States is 3.99, right? So maybe it will only be a raise of 50 cents for you

[x105Black]

A price increase would be atrocious.

[Actor Builder]

I might have to Boycott these now.

Not because I'm just grumpy about the price increase, but because I can't afford them.

[rob-ot5000]

I dunno, you guys. LEGO aren't really expensive enough yet...

[Umbra-Manis]

I'm screwed if these go up again in the US. The increase from $3 to $4 put a squeeze on my purchases of non-cmf lego. If it goes up again, I can't justify these over sets anymore.

[Kodan Black]

Hey they have to make up for their losses on the terrible Hoth set somehow!

I think if they raise the price I'll have to be more selective in which figs I pick up and instead of getting 2-3 of the ones I like most scale it back to 1-2. Hopefully this is offset somewhat by more sets like the Park set with all the figs.
