Gorilla94 Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 I am starting to believe the guys at Lego making such decisions are running in circles all night long just thinking about how to make people stop collecting... Quote
Digger of Bricks Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 Do you @Harkonen happen to know by any chance how many CMF this Series will be comprised of? If there's a Mr. Gold-like "chase figure" so to speak, I'd presume there's at least seventeen? 1 hour ago, Grover said: That’s really disappointing except for scalpers. Oh well, one more figure I won’t have. As long as it's just another gimmicky figure like Mr. Gold rather than a desirable, actually-useful archetype, I'll be good over here. Quote
DarrellBricker Posted January 31, 2020 Posted January 31, 2020 A rare Mr. Gold-like figure? Have they learned nothing, or do they simply not care what kind of bad PR this has generated for them? Quote
Digger of Bricks Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Heh, just came across this hypothetical CMF Draft on YouTube speculating on Series 20. The artwork ain't half bad... Quote
ToaIruini Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 I’d be down if the re-made figures were new archetypes rather than being direct copies upgraded. Quote
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted February 1, 2020 Posted February 1, 2020 Thanks for the info. This is incredibly disappointing. There is a great appeal to completing a series (they even prompt you to do so in the advertising), and this makes that close to impossible for most. I thought Lego had started to realize what a bad taste artificial scarcity creates in its customers. Quote

The approach I'd want to see in remaking/redesigning any of the CMF from Series 1 would follow something along the line of this proposal I made a little while ago... On 7/18/2019 at 9:31 AM, Digger of Bricks said: Though it'd greatly upset completionists, the Ms. Gold approach is best for those hoping for further yet-untouched archetypes. However, I don't think a Series 1 redux would be the end of the world if done right. For instance... Tribal Hunter >>> [Just different type of Indian, more specific to a more particular Native American tribe] Cheerleader >>> [Simple, a Male Cheerleader, much like @Robert8's design] Caveman >>> [How about a "Cave-Kid" similar to The Flintstones' Pebbles & Bam-Bam?] Circus Clown >>> [Hey, how 'bout a gender-swap?] Zombie >>> [Again, just gender-swap this one, much akin to Robert8's take on such] Skater >>> [Make this one a kid this time, perhaps with the newer medium legs] Robot >>> [Hey, if Series 1's take took after Robby the Robot, why not be a little more on-the-nose this time?] Demolition Dummy >>> [Um, maybe make him Flame Yellowish Orange rather than just Bright Yellow? I don't know...] Magician >>> [Either a simple gender-swap, or something more particular within that vein] Super Wrestler >>> [Hey, another gender-swap, why not?] Nurse >>> [Either just a gender-swap, or a different kind of healthcare worker] Ninja >>> [As Series 13's Samurai was to Series 3's Samurai Warrior, so could this CMS be to Series 1's Ninja] Spaceman >>> [Simple, give us a bubble-helmeted spaceman from the '50s!] Forestman >>> [Honestly, I'd just like a richer-colored redux of this exact archetype that isn't Series 16's Rouge] Deep Sea Diver >>> [How 'bout a Snorkeler this time rather than a Scuba Diver?] Cowboy >>> [How 'bout a modern ranch hand this time, perhaps wearing a Duster?] Quote

I thought Lego had started to realize what a bad taste artificial scarcity creates in its customers. Agree 100%. Hoping that the scarcity rumor is incorrect, it will really ruin the series for many people. 1/60 rares like the Policeman and Graves were just fine - not too hard to find but rare enough to be cool. Anything rarer than that is a no-go. Quote
Digger of Bricks Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 So I read a rumor that one of summer's upcoming Harry Potter sets (75967 Forbidden Forest) is supposed to be giving us our first-ever Lego Centaur figure (if you aren't counting that one from Trolls World Tour). Could we perhaps see one come to Series 20 in conjunction? P.S. It's quite ironic that this rumor should come about the same day @Robert8 debuts his own rendition of a Centaur CMF. Quote

Itaria No Shintaku Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 I came now on this forum to tell the very same thing: centaurs are finally happening! Quote
Gorilla94 Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Would be nice to get one. I'd probably buy one. Lego missed the point where i would have gotten an Army of them. I am happy with my Brickforge centaurs now. I love Robert's hairpiece design :D That would be a great piece for Fantasy Mocs. Quote

I bet there'll for sure be one, as a Centaur was the first thing everyone thought of when larger blind bags became the new precedent for the Collectable Minifigure theme. Quote
Itaria No Shintaku Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 If they do, it will be a return of army building for me, which was abandoned with the Rogue from Series 16 Quote

DarrellBricker Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 That young man had some nice ideas with his draft series! Quote

notpennysboat Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 About the Mister Gold alike minifigurine, the rare one, I would say a wooden minifigurine, mini version of the big one from Originals theme. The centaur of Robert8 is absolutly fanstastic, thank you Robert8 for these incredible ideas ans visuals ! Quote
KevinMD Posted February 2, 2020 Posted February 2, 2020 Maybe it’ll be a gold centaur chase fig. Quote
