purpleparadox Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 This lack of news is so frustating! Why are TLG keeping this one under wraps so well? Probably to keep up the hype for Series 7 and the Olympics CMFs. Quote
Fabjoueauxlego Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Probably to keep up the hype for Series 7 and the Olympics CMFs. Isn't it a fake ? Quote
purpleparadox Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Isn't it a fake ? As far as we can tell, no. I'm pretty sure the general consensus is that it's real. Quote
Itaria No Shintaku Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 Probably to keep up the hype for Series 7 and the Olympics CMFs. I totally agree. Alas, this has a little spoiled my "Series 8 guessing game". I announce I won't count the guesses on the Olympic :) Quote
tafkatb Posted April 17, 2012 Posted April 17, 2012 I doubt TLG would be holding back info on Series 8 to maintain hype over the Olympic series, considering the former will be an international release and the latter will be limited to the UK. I'm expecting S8 leaks any day now, since they usually seem to turn up just as the previous series begin hitting stores. Quote

I'm expecting S8 leaks any day now, since they usually seem to turn up just as the previous series begin hitting stores. Last year, Series 5 was at the German Toy Fair in February when Series 3 was out. And we got pics of Series 7 over six months ago, when Series 5 was out. So I think it's really strange we haven't heard anything on Series 8 by now, except that they'll be in black bags. Makes me wonder if they've got something really big planned for it. Quote
mo123567 Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) I'm expecting S8 leaks any day now, since they usually seem to turn up just as the previous series begin hitting stores. It seems to me that the only pattern in regards to reveals is no pattern. Sometimes we know what the next two series are in advance. Sometimes we don't know what's coming until the last second. Now we have this weird Olympic thing in the mix. There's also the randomness of leaks. It's really hard to predict when we will know what. Makes me wonder if they've got something really big planned for it. As long as what they have planned isn't the end of the series then I would be really excited to hear some news.

Bounty Hunter Supreme Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 I'm eating my words. It's looking a lot more likely to be FAKE now. How? It looks very much real to me, from what I've seen of the minifigures, packages and the boxes. Quote
purpleparadox Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 How? It looks very much real to me, from what I've seen of the minifigures, packages and the boxes. In the topic about the Olympic CMF there is a lot of sceptics pointing out flaws here and there. Quote
Phyre Posted April 18, 2012 Posted April 18, 2012 As long as what they have planned isn't the end of the series then I would be really excited to hear some news. Well, we already know there will for sure be a Series 8, so therefore the series is not over, which means that can't be the reason why we haven't seen any news yet. Quote

I was referring to a hypothetical announcement saying that series 8 will be the last series. I really don't think 8 will be the last series. I just get nervous wondering when it will end because as a minifig collector, the CMF line is the best thing to happen to me from lego. Sometimes I feel like it is too good to last.

escortmad79 Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Series 8 WON'T be the last, there are plans for AT LEAST another 4 after that Quote
JackJonespaw Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 A Lego MB (That's Master Builder) told me that there would be a series 9. Quote
mo123567 Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Series 8 WON'T be the last, there are plans for AT LEAST another 4 after that That's great news. Was that announced somewhere? Quote
escortmad79 Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Nope but came from someone with connections to people who work for TLG & was told by them Quote
mo123567 Posted April 19, 2012 Posted April 19, 2012 Nope but came from someone with connections to people who work for TLG & was told by them Oh well, I will look forward to hearing or seeing something official. Quote
Itaria No Shintaku Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 I too feel like it is going to be spoilered in a few days. Alas I feel like this since a lot of days. Quote
LEGOfan123 Posted April 20, 2012 Posted April 20, 2012 I think that an image of series 8 will come soon. Perhaps, before the end of April maybe? I wonder if these will have the bump codes or an other system? Numbers? Letters? Or the regular bump codes? I don't think that they will use the system they used in series 1 or 2. All of the army building minifigures would be very hard to find if this was the case! The time will come for us to know! LEGOfan123 Quote
Hartfan Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 (edited) Im not sure if this video was already posted but I just found it. My favs are Monk and Witch Doctor... Seems like we get: Cyber Ninja Insane butcher Time traveler Monk Sea Villian Alien Explorer Cowgirl Lead Vocalist Greek Princess Bomb squad unit Bartender Einherjar Witch Doctor Paparazzi Female security guard Clockmaker Edited April 21, 2012 by Hartfan Quote
Rufus Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Im not sure if this video was already posted but I just found it. Video of new series 8 Merging with Series 8 discussion .... Quote
Lego_Hero Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 I just don't buy that video. Let's ignore the poor camera work for a second and ask ourselves why someone didn't just link the Flickr page instead of filming it. They should be way beyond the rough work stage in this series, but none of those were finished products. I wouldn't buy most of them and I just buy for the parts in the first place. Quote
RaincloudDustbin Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 These don't look real to me... Of course they are not real- there arevno exclusive parts plus they just look terrible. I have deliberately missed out that video in the past when searching for series 8 minifigs. Quote
CM4Sci Posted April 21, 2012 Posted April 21, 2012 Down-right fake. Why the brick would LEGO make an "insane butcher" when it's violent and we had a butcher 2 series ago. I saw that image not too long ago, also. -Sci Quote
