Disney Collectible Minifigures Series 1 Discussion

[CM4Sci]

I.. didn't do a thing regarding the commercial?

When we first got the list someone mentioned a commercial being filmed, with Tinker Bell replacing Daisy or something. It was on the NEOGaf forum.

[Actor Builder]

For some reason I had thought you had been the one to bring it up.

I go a bit crazy (er than usual) late at night. Don't mind me.

[CM4Sci]

Yeah, it happens.

I was, the one, but I only brought it up because they said it on the other forum. The guys had their posts changed for whatever reason. If it's never released then oh well, I bet it would have been interesting.

[Blondie-Wan]

Ah, okay. The way you said it, it sounded like people had been talking about a commercial in this thread, and I didn't see it.

[Jarreth2]

I must admit I recall someone mentioning a commercial .. because there was mention of a Tinkerbell minifigure being in it .. Can't recall who posted the comment though ?

Yeah, that's also what I remember, don't think it will show up however, it will be strange to promote a character that doesn't even show up in the series. However they might recreate the usual Disney opening in Lego, so with Tinkerbell and the castle, however that sounds more like a commercial for Cinderellas castle, so it might just be real after all, Idk.

Wouldn't it technically be false advertising?

Well it kinda is if it's for the cmf series, but it are just rumors, we don't even know if it's real or not, also as I said earlier it could also be for Cinderellas castle, but they usually don't do commercials for D2C sets (I might be wrong about that, just never saw one on TV), and we know practically nothing about that set, if it includes tinkerbell it won't be false advertising. The commercial might even be for both the set and the series, but these are just my thoughts.

[Jarreth2]

Bit of a dumb question here .. I know most of the acronyms .. but what's D2C please lol !

Pretty sure it stands for Direct To Consumer.

Small CMF haul

I got my favorites yesterday! That feeling when you open the bags and find out that you 'identifelt' them all correctly...

I took a picture because none of the Disney ones is going to stay assembled for.. longer than two days!

It was this post exactly, where someone mentioned a commercial. They had their posts changed!!

I found the cached version of the page and the original posts are there.

Anyway, has anyone else not received their Club magazine yet? It's the 14th and they're usually here by now. Getting kinda antsy.

Didn't receive mine in the mail either, but I DID get the physical copy from my local LEGO store last week if that's an option for you.

After feeling for over an hour at a local store today, I was finally able to pick up an entire set. I must say, this has been the hardest and most frustrating series to feel through yet. Nearly every minifigure has new molds meaning that while feeling through them all, very few have familiar pieces to feel for. Unlike series in the past, a lot of the time I found myself feeling for what isn't in the bag ( For example I went through multiple Minnie's before coming across a Mickey and each time I would have to make sure a bow piece wasn't included). Although I wouldn't consider feeling the packs fun, the figures themselves make up for it as every one of them are amazing; especially when displayed all together.

Also, am I the only one who had an extra black cape come with syndrome or is that just an odd fluke with my pack?

Good work on getting them all in one hit! I found it easier to find Minnie's skirt piece rather than the bow as I didn't trust myself to find a small piece haha. Think you got lucky with the second black cape! I ended up with two syndromes and both came with one.

Just voted and been reading the comments in the poll / voting thread on this series .. I must admit this is the first CMF series I've collected .. ( I did get a full set of The Simpsons series 2 but they were a gift for someone ) .. I had a couple of figures from the Monsters series, but when the Disney series first appeared I didn't think I wanted them all. Now having got a full set I'm glad I did .. they look better in person than I thought they would.

Hoping we get a second series of Disney figures ^_^

[Blondie-Wan]

I have to assume there will be a second series. They've omitted too many critical characters, and the series appears to be doing too well, for there not to be at least a second series.

But one never knows. Let's hope...

[npgcole]

Finally got my first figure! Now I've got a LEGO Stitch to go with my Disney Infinity Stitch

Tried to find a Mickey or Donald too but no luck. Ah well, better luck next time.

The Target near me has been restocked with Disney Minifigures, so I'm thinking the rumor about all the stock after the initial boxes going to Disney parks is false. Someone has already said they are there, but I doubt that ALL of them will end up there... I feel like that would be so many boxes in so few places...

Needless to say, feeling for this series isn't bad at all. Mickey is pretty easy; if you find the head first, shake the bag. Minnie's skirt makes a pretty distinctive sound when it hits other pieces, so if you have Mickey you won't hear it in the bag. Donald/Daisy are probably the hardest as the only different accessory between the two is quite small. And maybe Aladdin/Genie as well considering they both have a lamp

I'm pretty certain it's false too. Obviously they'll have the bags in their stores but to have them nowhere else? That would be madness. I popped into my nearest Lego store a the weekend too and it was full of people feeling up blind bags so I'm assuming they've re-stocked a few times since I last went as it was pretty low then!

With Aladdin/Genie - someone elses suggestion of finding the lamp then looking for legs is the easiest bet for him.

There will DEFINITELY be a second series, it would make no sense for there not to be. These have been tremendously successful, based on how often it is selling out/being the top seller on S@H and how quickly stock is disappearing from shops nearby me. Disney is such a massive IP and I'm sure that this will be the first of several series - if the Simpsons could get 2 series, Disney could run for four or five, or "to infinity and beyond."

I found Aladdin very difficult to find as well. The lamp is so small, so I would suggest to anyone looking for Aladdin NOT to look for the lamp first. You first need to feel out the hairpiece with the fez (which is a rounded cyclider kind of shape, flat at the top). If you need extra confirmation, find the lamp by feeling for a small version of a minifig head (that's the lamp's body) with two small things sticking out of either side.

Sometimes I immediately find the lamp and double confirm by finding the small feather accessory to know that it's genie. Also, it is not hard to double confirm if it has 2 feet to know it's Aladdin.

The Ariel hair looks good on the minidoll, if you can get past how awful minidolls look.

I think the Ariel minidoll looks much better than the ARiel minifig. Though i might get the minifig just to use the hair on the minidoll.

[Monkey Joe]

So my snarfblatt arrived for Ariel and the contract scroll for Ursula ( it's not yellow .. yet ! ) I know they're not official Lego pieces but I'm not a purist and I really like them : )

Were did Sabastian and Flounder come from? Are they included or are they from the Princess line?
