Zeya Posted January 11, 2012 Posted January 11, 2012 Have it on authority that it'll continue until AT LEAST level 12. Got no evidence to back this up but comes from someone with connections to folk who work for Lego Then they'll skip 13 and go straight to 14, just like in hotels. Quote

1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 (edited) Wow, it would be so crazy if we ever got to series 12... Edited January 12, 2012 by johnnyvgoode Quote
SilvaShado Posted January 12, 2012 Posted January 12, 2012 It's in the 2012 Lego catalogue, doh. Picture1 Picture 2 Is it just be or do those red bags look a little thicker? It could just be the low-res... Anyway, I'm crazy excited for series 7. I got all of series 6 plus a few extras and will be on the lookout for a few more extras in the coming months - need more Leprechauns and their pot of gold. lol! I really think these last few series and the next one are super good. There's only a few figures that I don't care about, but nothing I hate. Quote
Sid Sidious Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Is it just be or do those red bags look a little thicker? It could just be the low-res... The pic looks kind of like its computer rendered, so that could have something to do with it. It looks like they haven't finalized the box design, seeing as there are placeholder blank minifigs instead of these. Quote

Then I won't make too much of it until we see a picture of the real thing. I was worried for a moment that they'd made the bag thicker and thus harder to feel to identify the pieces. That would be lame. Quote
Dervish Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Sorry to clutter with slight offtopic... Series 7 will pe 2,50 eur in Finland, according to the new lego catalog and in red as it was already known.. Also, as the offtopic, serie 8 will be black. I just saw a glimpse of the dealer catalog of legos, and it had series 6 in white (duhh) series 7 in red and series 8 in black. Quote

Dervish Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 Proof? Well, as I'm not a retailer nor a dealer of anykind, and just a customer I do not have the dealers catalog. But I definately know what I saw in the catalog that the clerk had in her hands.. And no, she didn't want to give me the catalog. Quote

Can you take a picture? -Sci Quote
Piranha Posted January 13, 2012 Posted January 13, 2012 also was it a generic image like the S7 bags? i.e none of the figs identifiable. Quote
Dervish Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 also was it a generic image like the S7 bags? i.e none of the figs identifiable. Looked like that, also there was no individual series 6 figs pictured, just the 60 bag boxes. I can ask the next time I go there if I can get a photo of it, but somehow doubt it. Quote
CM4Sci Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 (edited) Found some semi-official names: Get your hands on the all-new lineup of LEGO minifigures with Series 7. Each of the 16 all-new minifigures come in a sealed mystery bag, so you never know which minifigure you might get. And each minifig ure has its own special accessories, display plate and collector's leaflet. Which one will you get when you open the mystery bag? Series 7 includes: Aztec Warrior, Evil Knight, Galaxy Patrol, Jungle Boy, Viking Woman, Ocean King, Grandma Visitor, Rocker Girl, Tennis Ace, Computer Programmer, Bride, Swimming Champion, Daredevil, Bunny Suit Guy, Hippie and Bagpiper.

JackJonespaw Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 I'm guessing these will be out around April. Like Series 7. Quote

SoupOrFishOil Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 oh. lol Grandma Visitor Pretty creepy until you realize it's red riding hood... Quote
escortmad79 Posted January 14, 2012 Posted January 14, 2012 Link-Sci £3.00? I hope that's just Hamleys mark up & not the new price! Quote
Itaria No Shintaku Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Each of the 16 all-new minifigures come in a sealed mystery bag, so you never know which minifigure you might get. LOL... like as if I don't know how to get every single fig. Quote
Markypops Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Hamleys have quite a mark-up on all their toys, especially Lego. I try to avoid purchasing from them, although they do get a few sets in that other local toy shops don't get in. I have found in the past that they have charged 150% on what the RRP is for minifigures. On the generic packaging of series 7, I imagine this will change before release as even the box does not represent what is available. And i doing so offers no incentive to kids to try and find their missing figure or to promote the line to new customers. Quote
SilvaShado Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Pretty creepy until you realize it's red riding hood... oh dear! Why in the world couldn't they have just called it red riding hood?! It's not like the name is copyrighted. I don't care what LEGO calls it, but I am not going to call it Grandma Visitor.... tooo creepy! Quote
Markypops Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Political madness and copyright laws gone mad again! Quote
Aanchir Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 Political madness and copyright laws gone mad again! It's neither political correctness nor copyright laws, since Little Red Riding Hood is neither politically controversial nor under copyright. I think it's just a matter of making sure the minifigures are depicted as archetypes and not specific characters. This allows TLG to take more liberties in the product descriptions and minifig designs without young kids feeling that TLG got it "wrong" because it doesn't match their preferred movie or storybook depictions. Someone in the topic about the VIP minifigures set mentioned how a kid had disliked the Elf greatly because it didn't look like one of Santa's elves-- these are probably the types of situations TLG tries to avoid by using generic names over particular character names. "Grandma visitor" is a bit of an odd name, but I don't get the "creepiness" aspect people are going on about, and I don't want to hear it explained. I'm happier not knowing. Quote
Piranha Posted January 15, 2012 Posted January 15, 2012 yeah I knew that Grandma Visitor was little red riding hood, I just thought it was funny. Quote
