Robert8 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Oh! Im not sure if I like the Retro Spaceman The Rocket Suit looks amazing Lots of hairpieces! Why does the French Guy come with a dog? Edited February 18, 2017 by Robert8 Quote
telaruhn Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 OMG! The bunny! The serving tray! The whisk! The phone! The pug dog! The rocket suit! I like the Battle Dwarf's hair and beard combo. The Dance Instructor is hilarious. Who is the guy with the trident meant to be? And why is the mystery figure from the LBM pamphlet still a mystery? Quote

Its a Roman Gladiator. The other one is the Highwayman. Dont know why he is still a mystery Quote
The lego fan Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Honestly, after the very long wait to see pictures for this series, (or even to find a list), I find this series very dissapointing. Addmitedly, the last two series' were absolutely fantastic and it seemed unbelievable for this series to match their standards - yet I genuinely think this is one of the worst series' to date. I mean, the chef has 2 cool accesories and is great for a city, the bunny is cool and the costumes look pretty good, (esspecially the rocket and butterfly as the corn guy has been ruined by an awful moustachioed face print), yet, just like series 7, this series seems to lack inventive, great looking and clever ideas, as series 16, 15, 6 and 1 had in almost every character. I'm hoping that better pictures will make me more satisfied, as to be fair some of the characters are tricky to see. The lego fan P.S.- as a side note, we did incredibly well with Itaria's clues in terms of guessing the characters! EDIT: Oh, and the highwayman, should, if well done, be one of my favourite characters ; so at least I've got him to look forward too! Edited February 18, 2017 by The lego fan Quote
Brickthusiast Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 About that Highway man, could it be he'll be a new mr gold minifig and that being the reason he's not revealed at this moment? Quote
gedren_y Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) The Retro Spaceman seems to be a villain. I like the redesign of the pulse gun. The 80's guy looks like Miami Vice. The Chef has hair, and a whisk! The printed pie looks nice, too. The recolor of the 'Squishie' cup is a nice addition, along with the serving tray. The Female Elf seems to have the large triangular shield. The Battle Dwarf has Mjolnir? And something that looks like two colored chopping blade. Unless the grey thing is supposed to be in the Vet's hand. The baguette looks to be a new mold, too. It seems larger than the existing mold. I need that French bulldog.

8BrickMario Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Overall this series is a bit plain for me, but I love the Rocket Boy, Fairy Girl, Frenchman, Nineties Guy, and Eighties Girl. Absolute favorite is the Retro Spaceman. I had hoped for him with Series 16's astronaut, but at least he's here. The dingy colors really work for him, and the new helmet and ray gun are great. Edited February 18, 2017 by 8BrickMario Quote
SirBlake Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Overall I think this is a good series. Im most excited about the female elf. Can't wait to see the details on that one. Quote
Ashnflash Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 THESE LOOK INCREDIBLE! I'm going to pick up a lot of them! I really like the Disco girl, reminds me of Beverly Goldberg! Also the 80's guy with the cell phone looks a lot like Jerry Seinfeld! Love the Bulldog, that's a must! Quote
Mike S Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) After looking at the zoomed in pic, there seem to be a lot of nice details. I probably will buy the entire series. Edited February 18, 2017 by Mike S Quote
Catanas Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Wow! Check out that Surfboard. What a lucky guess that was. >> This series is littered with wonderful parts but not so sure about some of the final designs. I really love the Gourmet chef and Vet. I'm not entirely sure I can handle the dance instructors hair just now though. It makes me fear for my life. Although....wouldn't it make delightful Professor Trelawney hair? Also, I must say, there are some fabulous mustaches in this wave! Quote
Actor Builder Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I wish they'd given the new Gladiator the Spider-Man shooting web piece in black for a net somehow, but I'm also just glad my old Gladiator has someone to kill now. Does anyone else think the Corn Man looks like a serial killer? Quote
Robert8 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Posted February 18, 2017 These are names, by the way 1. Corn Cob Suit Guy 2. Rocket Boy 3. Butterfly Suit Girl 4. Gourmet Chef 5. Circus Strongman 6. Elf Maiden 7. Battle Dwarf 8. Retro Spaceman 9. Yuppie 10. Connoisseur 11. Dance Instructor 12. Highwayman 13. Surfer 14. Roman Gladiator 15. Hot Dog Vendor 16. Veterinarian Quote
KristofBD Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 As a historic fan, I absolutely love the gladiator, the female elf and the dwarf! Also plenty of nice accessories: the chef, the dog, the bunny even the hotdog guy! Excellent series! Quote
Giac88 Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) Well, I like the face of the corn cob suit guy, the moustache look funny Mexican style. I love the rocket guy, maybe he is my favourite! I'm disappointed with the butterfly girl, I thought she was like the bee series 10, more realistic, more "costume". I hope the silhouette guy will have something special! He can't be as mr. Gold was, 'cause he is one of the 16 figures, so not an extra figure, but I really hope in something special about him! Edited February 18, 2017 by Giac88 Quote
obsidianheart Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Weird that the Highwayman is not revealed. Hope he's not some gimmick like Mr. Gold. Quote
Withacee Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I need a lot of these figs. Great new accessories, too. Love the hotdog guy's trousers. Oh, and it looks like the sausage is in dark red! Quote
BaneShake Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 My priorities? The bunny and the dog. Quote
Megagan Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I am blown away by this series a lot of fantastic characters and great details!! I will admit I usually am not a fan of the costume or suit ones but the rocket ship I am going to need to get and there is something I like about that corn cob suit guy as well. Quote
Borex Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 (edited) That retro spaceguy is a fig i'm going to need a few of. He is awesome. Great helmet and great prints. The rocketguy is funny too, but i think the outfit is a bit too much. Will buy. Probably very usefull piece for retro mocs. Corn cob guy. Yeah! But his face not so. Doesn't matter i'll replace it for something better. Gladiator seems to have the fynn hair in dark brown if i'm not mistaken. Love the wig of the dance instructor and the little build with the phone on the miami vice guy. The pastry chef, vet and hot dog vendor seem like real solid city figs. The biggest letdown is the butterfly girl. I think we all had our hopes up for some new bee girl. My figs to chase: retro space, rocket and corn cob! Edited February 18, 2017 by Borex Quote
Yooha Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 That dward with the red beard and mohawk, the hog and dragon pattern is basically Dain Ironfoot. Quote
Vorkosigan Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Love the Elf Maiden, 80s Miami Vice Guy, and rabbit. The gladiator and battle dwarf are nicely detailed, but both are disappointing to me (I mean if we're getting a gladiator he is a fine representation of one, I just want a different ancient history figure). As usual, tons of cool parts and details in this series. Quote
TheBeefThief Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 Very glad the veterinarian doesn't have a syringe Quote
gedren_y Posted February 18, 2017 Posted February 18, 2017 I wonder if the top the rocket suit is the same as the small ball joints. If it is, I have some ideas for that. Quote
