LEGO Collectable Minifigures Series 19 Rumors, Speculation and Discussion

When do we expect Lego to reveal this series? Considering someone has already got two of them.

I'd say this week.

It looks like the blacktron fig is holding the top half of a book instead of a 2x3 tile.  I much prefer the way hands grip the rounded edge versus the flat side of a tile.

Is this the first time green shovel? Also I realize now the shower guy has a reversible head. I would have liked to see one with shaving cream, akin to Emmet in tlm  I’m also hoping the fire warden has a reversible head

That 'poop' looks more like swirled soft-serve ice cream than the existing piece currently being used in sets.

It's probably the new Ice Cream piece. Probably be in a bunch of Friends stuff in 2020.

I'm guessing, I don't have anything to back that up.

I think the person you are replying to here is talking about what CMF should be. Not what it was in the past. He thinks it should be an opportunity to give us minifigs that don't fit in to other themes. To give us minifigs that already fit in current themes feels to him like a wasted opportunity. 

Instead of writing a kneejerk screed against his opinion, why don't you give your opinion? What do you think CMF should be? I think we'd all rather hear that.

I mean I shared some thoughts for fun historic figures earlier today, but all in all as long as we continue to get lots of surprising new variety, I'm not picky about what form it takes. There's nothing wrong with anybody talking about what figures they think are worthy of being future CMFs, but it's just plain obnoxious when people can't express those wishes without disparaging entirely legitimate figures as though they're unworthy, just because they don't fit with a theme they collect.

When a series has lots of figures I'm not interested in, it's no big deal for me to skip those figures or skip the series entirely. I don't see why other people have to accuse those types of figs they don't care for — whether it's licensed figures, costume figures, or now just modern-day figures in general — of somehow violating the theme's entire purpose.

10 hours ago, danth said:

Also, few of your examples make sense. Forestmen would not have fit in to nearly any castle theme of the last 10 years. They've been mostly knights/soldiers and castles, and including a one-off Forestman would have been weird. Same for the elf warriors etc.

But see, that's exactly the reason why I think it's silly to complain about the "City-ish" Series 19 figs as if they could just be neatly squeezed into the City theme. Even if City has a really extensive scope, it hasn't had any sets or subthemes in its entire history where an online gamer, a person taking a bath, a dogsitter/dog park worker, an elderly retiree with a flamingo lawn ornament, a rugby player, or a casual robotics enthusiast would be an obvious fit.

The entire notion that "City" type figures are a waste of a slot in the series is predicated on the hypothetical notion that City sets could be specifically designed with these figures in mind, even if they never have been before! But by that same argument, the same could have been done with the Castle and Space figures in the years those themes were active. It's a ludicrous proposal one way or another.

10 hours ago, danth said:

And frankly, if someone at the time said "Man I wish Space Police had civilians" or "I wish castle had Forestmen and Elves", you'd have been right there telling them why they were wrong for wanting that.

And no, I would NOT be there telling people they were "wrong" for wanting Forestmen or Elves in Castle, or for wanting civilians in Space Police, even if I can understand that there are probably reasons why in a lot of cases we haven't gotten those things. I would love to see that type of stuff as much as anyone! I even spent a lot of time both with LDD and with physical bricks back when the CMFs were still new, trying to design my OWN Space civilian vehicles, Blacktron vehicles, elf castles, etc. to fill what I saw as omissions in those themes. I even bought extra copies of Rench's torso from the Raid VPR set to try and make some Blacktron forces, though I never finished many MOCs like that to my satisfaction.

Throwbacks like that are a delight for me, and a big part of why I loved the Easter Egg laden Space Police 3 sets so much! You need to let go of this mentality that when I get frustrated with other people's ridiculous criticisms of current sets/themes it somehow means I'm some grump who hates all the older sets/themes other people are nostalgic for and wants fans of those themes to suffer.

I just don't have as much trouble being hopeful for fun throwbacks or re-imaginings of classic themes without feeling a need to lash out against any set that doesn't bring all those hopes to fruition. After all, the whole point of this hobby is having fun, not complaining about how everything sucks if I don't get my way.

10 hours ago, danth said:

Again you totally missed his point. I think he was laughing at that figure being ranked at the top spot of someone's list. Not that the figure sucked.

And see, THAT is exactly the kind of mean-spiritedness that I felt was worth calling out. Decent people don't go out of their way to laugh at or make fun of other people for being happy or excited about something that you think is unnecessary or disappointing. Why is it that you act as though I'm the one trying to spoil people's fun and enjoyment by defending figures like that as stuff that people might reasonably find fun or enjoyable?

Nothing I've said in this thread has been at all negative towards the kind of fantasy, sci-fi, or historic themes and figures that a lot of people here are hoping for, I'm just explaining why it doesn't make sense to take that to extremes and treat more modern-day figs as if they're against the "point" of the theme on principle.

10 hours ago, danth said:

Don't you always write a five page thesis in response to those comments telling them how they're wrong for wanting those things?  

I don't believe I ever have, no. Generally I might explain why I think something like that hasn't happened yet, or what might need to change to make it easier to bring back, but there's nothing wrong with wanting any of that sort of stuff as long as you don't get nasty or dismissive towards other themes and the people who enjoy them.

I kinda think he has the right to think that about the pepperoni, and I think arguing against his preference to "prove him wrong" would be super weird. 

But Aanchir, I would like to hear your opinion. Which CMFs do you like? Which do you think could be better? How?

Because I absolutely promise you, having opinions and sharing them is more fun that trying to demolish other's opinions. 

I'm not trying to "prove him wrong" or anything like that. But he was literally just sharing how nice it was that we all have opinions, so I don't see why I'm unwelcome to share ones that conflict with his. I certainly feel like molded pepperoni could have been nice, but I'm not really disappointed by the pizza's flatness, and on the contrary I like how it leaves the door open for future recolors that feature entirely different pizza toppings, instead of this mold staying specifically limited to a pizza slice with these toppings.

So far I really LOVE the ghost knight figure, the Johnny Thunder redesign, the mountain biker, the rainbow bear, and the fox suit girl (a lot of my family members went to a college that had vixens as a mascot, so I will almost certainly end up picking up multiples of that one as gifts)! The Monkey King figure isn't one I'm all that passionate about or interested in, but it DOES raise my curiosity whether other more Asian-inspired figures might become more viable now that LEGO is growing their business over there.

I can't say I see much that I have obvious gripes about at the moment. I mean, I guess I would have preferred if the Bounty Hunter used the Blacktron 2 logo since I feel like it's a little more distinctive than Blacktron 1's Sierpinski triangle, and it would make them match other Blacktron throwback figures like Rench or the Space Villain a little better (I had the same frustration with the Evil Mech). But that's a pretty minor concern all in all, and it's possible that other details of the figure might make up for that.

Another minor frustration is that I'm not sure the "dog poo" piece is all that necessary, since I feel like sets so far have made decent use of the existing 1x1 swirl/finial piece for that purpose. Of course, this one could also be useful for some of the same stuff that finial's been used for in the past, like soft serve ice cream, but in this case the piece ORIGINATING as dog poop might dampen some folks' enthusiasm for seeing it on a chocolate ice cream cone!

As usual there are a few modern-day figs who I don't have so much interest in as a complete figure (since after all, I tend to be partial to fantasy and sci-fi themes), but who offer parts that could be useful for improving or updating my sigfig. In this case, I'd love to get my hands on that dogsitter's denim shorts and the robotics enthusiast's white laptop!

To be honest, though, I don't want to go too in depth about what I like/dislike about this series until we have clearer pics and/or reviews. Right now there's a lot of details that are either not shown or difficult to make out, like the backs of the figures, the title of the online gamer's video game, details of the Bounty Hunter's head and torso, etc. And anyway, as you can see, I get even more rambly when I'm talking about my own opinions than when talking about other people's… which is part of why I'm wary about delving too deep into my own personal opinions when I've already lost half an hour or more responding to other people's posts…

Which is why I avoid these back-and-forth arguments about these kinds of subjects. I state my opinions, and only respond to contrary responses if their arguments convince me of their point.

You are still totally missing the point.
The strangest fit I've seen in the last 10 years is a caveman in Capital City, as intended into a museum.

For the rest, half of the minifigure of this series could easily fit a city whatever set.
Many CMF fans rely upon the CMFs to have minifigure that cannot fit any other set/theme, so they are disappointed when you get a lot of cmfs in the same series that do not follow this expectation.
And since TLG has abandoned castle, pirates, adventures, western and space, having only 4 minifigures that can fit these themes (with 0 for pirates).

However, I wonder if you cannot think about the dog park worker fitting easily the fun in the park set or this years' miniifigure pack from the amusement park, or if you are just keeping the point.

You are, again, missing totally the point.
I'll try to explain... again.

If I am fond of western, pirates, space and castle... you should be a little open-minded and understand that I don't go complaining on everything that comes out, but if I have ONE set (considering the CMF line being 3 set per years) in the whole year that can give me what I want from LEGO, can I have the right to feel extremely disappointed if they don't give me what I look for?
No? I should say "oh everything is awesome" just because some guy from eurobricks want me to?
You can forget about it.

Have you seen me complaining about too many city sets, friends, technic, harry potter, star wars, jurassic world, super heroes and so on, apart from this single line comment?
No, bet you didn't, because I didn't.

I rely upon ONE set in the year, the non-licensed wave of minifigures, and if you fail to see why not only me but MANY people not only on EB are complaining about the vast majority of city-like characters, I think that you should spend some time trying to understand what's wrong.

More.

I can build MOCs with pieces, I don't get mad if I don't get a decent castle/pirates/etc theme per year. 
But new and exciting minifigure parts, these come only if LEGO makes new stuff. And if they do not make any castle/pirates/etc theme, where do people like me get the new parts? From the CMF line.
So having a CMF with 0 pirate characters, 0 western characters, 1 castle characters and EIGHT CITY CHARACTERS is what I think a valid reason to feel unhappy and complain.
I think you have zero rights to tell me how I should feel, how I shouldn't, what I should write (if written with respect for other people) and what  I shouldn't.

In fact, I wasn't quite making fun of that guy (sorry don't remember the username right now) that placed the pizza suit guy among his favourites.
He likes? Good for him, because he gets it. But avoid telling me that I cannot express that the pizza suit guy is a lame character, badly realized, that a pizza slice hasn't that shape (mostly because a pizza is not a watermelon) and so on (plus you should maybe take into account that I am italian, so I have a little experience about what pizza is. If a Japanese guy tells me the "uramaki suit guy isn't accurate" I would listen to him instead of pontificate why he's wrong).

I said I wanted to skip all this discussion, but I keep being sucked in and I hope now everything is clearer.

People having already tons of city characters, city sets, and so on, could sometime say "well, it would be good that pirates and castle lovers have at least one source per year from which they can take new minifigure parts".

Instead of saying "Oh yeah, we really needed this minifigure into the CMF line".

Did we really need a dog walker in the CMF line? No, she could have easily appeared in various sets like fun in the park, fun at the theme park and so on.
Did we really need ANOTHER firefighter in the CMF line which is a copy of the city ones? No we didn't.
Did we really need a shower guy stealing a spot in the CMF line when all the pieces are available? No we didn't.
Did we really need another gamer since we already had one in the CMF line? No we didn't.
Did we really need a pizza suit guy in the CMF line? Perhaps. Done that way, no we didn't. (However a hot dog suit guy with a hot dog stand has been already released, so a pizza suit guy could fit a pizza stand in a city theme)
Did we really need that lady with the flamingo being in the CMF line? Perhaps since how people is happy we needed the flamingo. But the lady? Couldn't that be in a city set?
Did we really need that ugly bear? I dare you.
Did we really need that biker girl in the CMF line? Couldn't she be in a city set?
Did we really need that robot programmer girl? Couldn't she be in the new space sets or something like that?

These are 9 minfiigures that could be in city sets this year, and they are in the CMF line, taking place for 9 minifigures (a la Monkey King) that couldn't fit any other theme.

I'm not fond of the monkey king. I dislike the use of light flesh in the CMF line, the Ruyi Jingu Bang should have been done differently, but I don't say that he's stealing a spot in the CMF line.
Roman Warriors, Spartan Warriors, Hun Warriors, and so on, if TLG doesn't make, like playmobil is, an "history" theme, they only can fit the CMF line.

To end it:
If we had three waves per year, I would have been quite less bothered. Now it's clear they plan to do only 1 per year.
So when in January I get the new catalog and I hear that no castle/adventurers/pirates theme this year, all my hopes go on the only unlicensed CMF line.
So, you and people who are fond of themes like city or friends, should understand if we have some rants when it all goes wrong for us.
It's a form of respect from who gets all to who gets nothing (or nearly).
 

[Robert8]

For me getting such an unbalanced series is kind of odd since they always say they try to "include something for everyone"

City is a top seller and that's why it gets 2 waves per year since I can remember 

On the opposite, Castle, Pirates and Space are not. And looking at Series 19, it probably means that not even the Castle, Pirates and Space CMFs sell well.

 

When they have 2 waves of City sets per year, including people packs, the modular, the winter village and the D2Cs like the Rollercoaster, and yet they decide to make a City-heavy CMF wave anyway, then that means that City (and Ninjago) are the only good sellers for LEGO at this point. So I can't blame them for going after that money.

Since they are blind bags it is harder to know what characters is more popular than others. Off course they probably test them with kids, but I do not think that they make 32 figs and the 16 most popular among kid test groups get made into a series If they did the western, castle and pirates figs would most likely make the cut over several of the figs in series 19

I believe that so many city figs in this series is probably more to do with chance, if there is only 1 western, castle and pirates fig combined the next series and the series after that I would get more worried Series 17 had several after all

Completely agree with you @Itaria No Shintaku!

I remember when I saw the whole leaflet for the first time I was disappointed that the rest of the figures were city minifigures. Oh well, I guess there’s next year.

That Sci-Fi character doesn’t a have new mold either. Still looks great.

Whether it be intentionally or unintentionally on TLG's part, the whole point of the blind-bag schtick is to piggyback those cult-favorite archetypes onto the popularity of ones that Lego's core demographic would be seeking out instead. Kids don't care about the Series as a whole, just a few figures they may have a particular interest in.

[MAB]

I'm glad there is another unlicensed series, but for me also this is one of the worst unlicensed series. The knight is great, or at least he will be when he gets a decent replacement head and the transparent parts are removed. But other than that there is not much to interest me. I'll probably get 8-10 of them as suits of armour for fleshies rather than as the figure supplied. I'll get a couple of mummies if only for some variations in costumes with all the mummies that have gone before. It is nice the dog walker comes with two dogs, I'll probably get a few of the dogs but the figure itself is rather plain. I'll get one rugby player. I'll probably get a couple of the rainbow tiles, a shower cap, a green duck and the video game controller on BL. But for me, the knight is the only one I'll be looking for. I bought more figures from the last Disney and TLM2 series than I will from this series, and I'm not that big a fan of the licensed ones.

I'm not really sure my kids will go for them either this time. The Care Bear will be popular with my daughter, but aside form that, not much else.

Thanks, that's good to know. I just looked them up. The space sets don't really interest me which is probably why I hadn't noticed it, but at least this means it should be widely available and probably on bricks and pieces too, whereas many CMF parts are not.

It is also good it is in white, as that means it can be dyed to almost any colour.

I don't see what's odd about it. As I brought up earlier, modern day figures making up a hefty portion of each non-themed series has been pretty normal from the start. Of the ordinary numbered series, ten of the 18 so far have had eight or more modern-day figs (including ALL the first five series). And when I say "modern day", I'm strictly excluding categories like historic/fantasy, sci-fi, horror, costume, and "object" (the last of which would include stuff like the Lawn Gnome, Statue of Liberty, Gingerbread Man, Clockwork Robot, Lady Robot, and Gargoyle, which represent toys, foods, or statues rather than "people").

It's possible part of this has to do with the popularity of modern-day sets, but I think both factors might also owe themselves to the fact that people in general tend to have a profound awareness of the modern day, whereas awareness of certain historical time periods or sci-fi tropes might depend on a person's passions, interests, and cultural background.

As an example, most people have a general idea of what a modern-day farmer or sea captain should look like, but not a lot of people would have as clear an image in their head of what an Ancient Roman, Ancient Egyptian, or Ancient Greek farmer or artist would look like or wear. Likewise a generalized sense of what soldiers, pirates, conquistadors, or indigenous peoples of the Americas might have dressed like during the Age of Exploration is fairly easy to envision, but not so much how carpenters or lumberjacks would have dressed during that time.

So all in all I suspect there's just a lot more stuff LEGO can DO with modern day figures than with a lot of historical genres without venturing too far outside of what buyers will be able to recognize and relate to. I don't think it's any kind of worrying trend among modern kids or modern LEGO designers or whatnot. Even in the early days of the minifigure it was pretty normal for sets from modern-day themes like Town, Trains, and Boats to far outnumber sets from historic themes like Castle or Pirates. So I don't think it's all that surprising to see the same trend today.

There will probably always be a place for historic themes (and truthfully, the Ghost Knight in this series is definitely one of my favorites!), but I don't think that can be expected to rise to the point of all genres getting the same amount of representation in sets/minifigs that modern-day realism does.

Like I just pointed out a few posts earlier, the blind-bag model should make inclusion of archetypes with less mainstream popularity not as much of a risk as it would with be for a playset-based model whose contents are disclosed. Plus, on a side note, technically the Collectable Minifigure theme's offerings could be thought of as Lego's answer to Playmobil's people packs for themes/genres they have but Lego doesn't currently.

Don’t mind me. Just enjoying some Lego popcorn *munch*

[Masked Mini]

I get our Italian friends frustration. No Pirate/Soldier for 30th? No living/female Knight? but tons of meh (to me as a non-city enthusiast) city figs. *sigh*

But hey, like MAB I'll get to kitbash myself some more Knights and if I separate out the torso and breastplate maybe even two-for-one.

I'm all about the Blacktron I aesthetic so that one is a no-brainer for me! Though now that I think about Aanchir's comment regarding the Blacktron II logo, I do really like the updated version of the Blacktron I torso with the II "B" insignia. Was that the Space Villain CMF? It released during my Dark Age. Still a win for me since my Blacktrons I and II are forced to cohabit.

So 2 Army builders for me out of 16 isn't horrible, thanks to the Dackel mold, Vixen+chicken and Johnny Thunder it's 5/16 for me personally. So despite my frustration there is actually more here than I got out of Disney 1+2, Simpsons 1+2, TLBM 2 top of my head.

Given lemons, sugar and water... make a nice cuppa tea.

I sure hope that the city enthusiasts will be able to find their own silver linings if/when we ever get a wave that is largely castle/pirate/space/oddballs.

That’s exactly what I was thinking. Share some for me. As a collector as long as the minifigures are fun and interesting I like them, and I buy a full set anyway. I see some appeal to both sides, I feel sorry for the people who are disappointed (series 17 was a miss for me). Don’t get me wrong I have opinions about these, but I’m just thankful we can get cmf at all.
