JACKATTACKS Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 3 minutes ago, benderisgreat said: Nice series overall, but what's up with Highwayman? Even in review he's mysteriously absent! And not on leaflet? And most surprising is that review says he's nothing special! Does anybody understands what Leo is doing with that minifigure, why all the secrecy ? Who knows, maybe they'll run a special promotion campaign like TBB said. What if TBB were paid off by lego to say that the minifigure is common and uninteresting when in fact... Ok, I'm just being ridiculous as I'm still hoping for the minifigure to be something special Quote
makoy Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 I think the hype machine is working somehow even though it is generating more confusion than interest... even if we have no idea what kind of marketing TLG is planning to run with a very common minifigure, I still don't buy this gimmick. Quote
SpiderJazz Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 Wth, there's a review but no "Highway man" even in the leaflet? But in the distribution he's not even special. Love the Veterinarian, she will correct the hair of my Agent 13 fig. Also the Sausage man nice tray piece. Now it looks like it's not a dirt print on the Dwarf. More like hog elmblem. *Hog Ridersssss* coc! Quote

gedren_y Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 When I saw the printing on the hammer, I immediately thought of the CMF Evil Knight's shield. The Reddit image is definitely fake. The official image gives him muzzle loader pistols (which have come in black before), as well as additional neckwear. Quote

Franklinw1234 Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 I'm pretty sure that Lego is keeping the highwayman a secret. This is probably their solution to Mr. Gold. Quote
Ashnflash Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 I have no interest in getting the Highwayman and them doing this makes me care less.... If it was someone interesting, perhaps I'd care. But come on now.... To ask reviewers not to post pictures of the "mystery" figure is stupid. Quote
K_Tiger Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 Ah, as I suspected, a marketing gimmick. That aside, I'm glad to see these in the "flesh". Great line. Quote
benderisgreat Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 Well whenever Just2good posts his CMF video, we can be sure he'll show what all the secrecy is about! Quote

The question is when? And, as I read the artcle Lego ask the reviewers to keep it a secret until May 1st. So if J2g doesn't reveal it until May 1st, no special. But atleast he can explain what's with the secrecy. 26 minutes ago, K_Tiger said: Ah, as I suspected, a marketing gimmick. That aside, I'm glad to see these in the "flesh". Great line. U think so? Woudn't be a problem as they produce yellow figs for equality? that may bring up issue if they release flesh colored fig in CMF. Quote

It's gonna be a yellow minifigure, just like all the other non-licensed CMFs. Quote

A Flesh colored minifig in the series that's why it being kept as a secret. apologies. Quote
Robert8 Posted April 4, 2017 Author Posted April 4, 2017 So, this means WF won't post pics of the Highwayman in the review? Quote

Nerd-with-a-Pencil Posted April 4, 2017 Posted April 4, 2017 Pity that the Strongman's weight doesn't connect with standard ball joints. LEGO could've made everything a lot more interesting. Quote

That only applies to those who received set from Lego themselves, not those who bought it with their own money. Or am I wrong? Edited April 4, 2017 by benderisgreat Quote

Or am I wrong? Regardless if Lego give it to them to review or they bought it themselves using their own money. Based on my understanding the thing here is if they review the set, earlier than May 1st. They cannot show what/who the minifigure is (because that's the release date, and that make sense because everyone can find out if they bought it on their own) But until May 1st no one can reveal it yet.
