71007 - Minifigures - Series 12

[Ed Mack]

I think $4 a piece is a bit much for these "regular" versions.

License theme I can stomach $4 but most of these are using the same molds.  We can get polys for $4 so I hope those all don't go to $5.

Right, I'm growing tired of these same sort of characters...Vikings, clowns, spacemen...enough already.  Very boring.  The Simpsons and The LEGO Movie were a breath of fresh air.  I want some cool themed CMFs...Give me a STAR WARS CMF.  Harry Potter.  Atlantis.  CITY.  Anything...LOL

[Guest brickcrazyhouse]

that would be make it worth the $4 maybe even a monster series 

[Darth_Raichu]

Disney characters CMF.  There. Instant

 

 

ETA: there are so many of them, these can be released in multiple series / waves.  Perhaps when they do $5 CMF packs in a couple of years

Gotta have the guitar guy. Others are not tweaking my fancy.

I always said there should be a Zombies series.

This thread starts to look like the "what theme you want as LEGO" thread

[Ed Mack]

Maybe somebody from LEGO will read it and get some ideas. $4 for another spaceman is just a waste.

I have a hard time seeing moms and dads picking these up at $4 especially after their kids open the packs and realize they got the one figure they didn't want

As you stated earlier, why would you buy a CMF when you can buy a poly bag for $4 in many cases?

Yeah I am wondering if Lego really did their market research on this price hike. It made total sense for the Simpsons. And I think the Movie ones could have easily sold for that. but otherwise, they just aren't worth it I think.

I definitely hear what you guys are saying, hopefully Lego doesn`t raise the price in other places as well, but the truth is that these will still sell very well regardless. Is the price steep? Yes. But most people aren`t going to care. At least not enough to make a difference. Lego will still makes lots of money in sales, and these will still maintain their popularity. Wonder if in a couple years they will hit $4.99. 

[Alcarin]

Well I will still buy Goddess, Hun Warriors and Wizards(all i can get!)..... and 2 Princesses 

 

For rest I could not care less, but that Hun warrior helmet will be amazing for my ''barbarian'' MOCs assaulting my new mine!

I made mention of that comparison before back when we saw the confirmed pricing for The Simpsons minifigures. Granted that is a licensed property, each character needed a brand new complete mold for their respective head, and the TV show impressively continues to be popular after numerous years. However for all intents and purposes to the general public, the mystery blind packs are exactly that so the price increase was a bit of a blow.

I realize there are around six new molded pieces at least in this Series 12 to go with the unique printing of each but trying to continue the licensed pricing of the prior series does not hold. Plus Lego will more than likely use these new parts in other sets down the road anyway like so many other ones introduced from the Collectable Minifigures. Not all but most do usually and sometimes with a few alterations.

 

Maybe somebody from LEGO will read it and get some ideas. $4 for another spaceman is just a waste.

I may be the one person that would like to amass a small army of Space Miners to go with all the other explorers in my collection, and maybe Lego should check out my list of ideas. ;)

[Blackjack]

I like them, but there doesn't seem to be any standouts.  I'll definitely be passing with the price as well...

[agp548]

I love these, much better than boring Simpsons that have no place in my lego city or in the lego world period. I wouldn't have paid a dollar a piece for simpsons cmfs but ill pay the 3.99 for these.

[TheOrcKing]

Look at the banner that came up when I did a Lego search on Target just now. There's the Series 9 Plumber then Series 12 Gamer and Princess.

what does everyone think about the new mini figs?

[stackables]

I might just buy one set and be done with it.  $4 is too much for a single non licensed fig. Shame on lego

[loki221978]

i agree, though it might be a plus for some collectors, there might be more to go around 

[naf]

Looks good, I'll buy one of each, perhaps a few extra Hun Warriors, Athena's, and Musketeers.

[loki221978]

my famly collects them my son, my wife and myself each want diffrent ones, though we are having a hard time justifying the price tag
