I've taken to displaying some of my Star Wars minifigs with bases from the Collectible MInifigure line, particularly Darth Vader, ROTS Obi-Wan, Commander Neyo, and the Imperial Shock Trooper, and it got me wondering if it would be possible for Lego to produce an official CMF line for the franchise. We've got one licensed CMF line on shelves already, with a second apparently on the way, and TLG can clearly produce Star Wars figures, on account of the battle figures line. SO why not a Star Wars one? First off, there would obviously be a bit of a conflict of interest: TLG aren't going to want to put in minifigs that are similar to those in sets that are still on shelves. After all, plenty of people buy a set for the figs over the build, especially if the build is of a ship they've already got (I'm not about to buy another A-Wing unless it comes with figures I want, because I already have the most recent one). However, there are plenty of characters that don't appear in sets, often because their scenes in a movie would be rather unpopular due to a lack of action: The Senate scenes in TPM are a good example: Chancellor Valorum, TPM-era Palpatine, and a variant of Queen Amidala aren't going to get a set because the Senate scenes are fairly boring, but it would be nice to have those characters. A more recent example would be the final scene of TFA: Rey's variant costume and Very Lonely Luke don't have figures, and aren't likely to get them until Episode VIII's first wave, and the latter is a pretty glaring omission (Why we couldn't have Luke instead of a slightly different Stormtrooper for May 4th is a rather good question). They could also be used to supplement existing sets: The discussions over the most recent UCS set, Assault on Hoth, have often focused on a lack of Bacta Tank Luke, Hoth Leia, blue coat!Han, a medical droid, more Snowtroopers, and, most interestingly to me, a Chewbacca with snow dotted onto him. Well, how about having those figures available separately. Darth Vader would be a no-go because 75093 is still on shelves, and perhaps "Luke, mostly naked and comatose" would be a hard sell, but the others could definitely be done Then there's characters or variants of said characters that just aren't going to get a release in sets, who would fit right in. ROTS Padme's not going to be in a set because her most action-y scene is the one where Anakin strangles her. Mas Amedda, Shmi Skywalker, most members of the Separatist Council, most members of the Jedi Council, Lama Su and Taun We, etc. Being a fan of Clones, I'd quite like to see ARC Trooper Fives, Gregor in his COmmando armour, Phase II Cody, and even just another shot at a standard white Phase II trooper, but obviously I imagine a few people are pretty sick of Clone Troopers. Going for the ever-more tempting OT angle, Captain Antilles, Aunt Beru, Wuher, Biggs, Long Snoot, Admiral Piett, Nein Numb, Crix Madine, Mon Mothma (Though we might get her in Rogue One sets), Jan Dodonna, General Rieekan, etcetera. Then there are the characters that we have, but don't have in certain variants, like Palpatine in his full red robes, Leia in her Cloud City and Boussh designs, as well as her outfit from the end of TFA, Luke in his trooper disguise, his training gear, his Bespin fatigues, and with his tunic open from the end of RoTJ, Han in his trooper disguise, a new Old Ben Kenobi, "Mustafar Obi-Wan", with burn marks on his clothing and a second Lightsaber hilt, Cloud City Lando, General Lando, etcetera once again. So, what do you think? Would you like the idea, and if so, what characters would you like to see?

There's a rumors about new Minifigure Series based on Doctor Who TV Series in future. I think it will be released at May 2017 or 2018.

Hello everyone, thanks to WhiteFang I can proceed announcing the victors of the guessing game. First of all I want to congratulate everyone for joining, even the ones that did 0 points suggested some very interesting potential minifigures. I introduced a 0,5 point rule in which I award half point to ones that nearly guessed right. I hope that this doesn't create problems, since I ackowledge it is a little arbitrary decision. So let's start. Alas robert8, Cy_Bored1337, Dredgen, dyntar, Thetford, negativesleep and mmcclelland scored 0 points. I however thank you very much for joining this game. Alfadas, Dorayaki and Kintobor were pretty close, so they have been awarded 0,5 points Gedren_Y and Eikichi both reached 1 point. Jared, Amperzand, The Brick Rat, Chimp and me 1,5 points (this is the first time I score points!) THIRD PLACE EX-AEQUO: with 2 points each Cagast and Aland1916 SECOND PLACE: though he had insight, Tragic Banjo scores 3 points FIRST PLACE: Borex got 25% scoring 4 points. This is the best result ever, nobody was able to guess 4 out of 16 minifigures. CONGRATULATIONS And now some statistics: A lot of votes were casted for a new alien minifigure, in fact 7 people guessed it (but nobody perfectly) 3 people also guessed that a new space male minifigure would have been launched, as much as 3 guessed for a Disco Diva and Goblin. 2 guessed right the snake charmer and the egyptian warrior was also foretold 2 times (even if one time as a general egyptian) 1 guess for carpenter, hot dot suit guy and unicorn girl by Tragic Banjo (but he already knew about the last two ones) and 1 guess for evil wizard and paleontologyst by Borex, but he missed the sex in both cases. 1 guess for the fencer by Jared who also guessed a female Ninja/oriental figure so he was awarded a 0,5 point for the female samurai Nobody was able to foresee the king, the sheriff and the female cyclops. King and Sheriff could actually have been foreseen in my hopinion since they are very iconic characters, the female cyclops was more hazardous but since I guessed a female swamp creature I believe that someone with more fantasy could get it. So now we're done again. Since in may we will have Simpsons Series 2 we will continue later on, if you liked the game. Thanks everybody. -
Often it can be difficult to decide what I want to build. The Collectible Minifigures theme has brought many interesting historical minifigures. Last year I have built a large Greek layout for the Spartan from series 2: http://www.eurobrick...89#entry1533491 After I had finished the Greek layout I thought a lot about what I should build next. Should I build a Roman layout for the Roman minifigures? Or should build an Egyptian layout for the pharaoh? Or a 1700's layout with a lot of minifigures with white wigs? I would like to build it all. That's how I got the idea to build this MOC: Ancient Egypt: Ancient Greece: Ancient Rome: In the background: Colosseum The Viking Age The Middle Ages: The Renaissance In the background: St. Peter's Basilica in Rome: The Late Renaissance: In the background: Rosenborg Castle: The Age of Enlightenment In the background: Fredensborg Palace: The Industrial Revolution In the background: Westminster Palace: Modern Time: The back of the MOC is a world map:

I really like the CMF and honestly find them much better than the usual "City" minifigures these days. (It's just my opinion and I bet there are others but that's not the point here) I tried to find something like this in the past years already, but didn't really come across it, so the question is = Are there any Town layouts that are primarily populated by the CMF instead of the normal "City" figures? I know that some MOC'ers use fleshy and customized figures, but I would love to see any layout or bigger scene with the CMF (customized or original doesn't matter), as the detail on the figures is just a little better (no judgement here) than the average City figure, and I would love to see them in action! Any pics or links welcome and if a topic like this exists already, please excuse!

I went looking for the Registry to print off a certificate for my kid today and I saw that Lego pulled the site. What a bummer! I went back and looked at what I saved from the site and I had enough to recreate the registry if you are interested. I put what figures were found in what countries. http://minifigpriceguide.com/wordpress/lego-mr-gold-map-of-found-figures-recreated-since-lego-pulled-it-down/ Again, what a bummer. I would have thought that they would have kept that up forever.
