Personally, I think this is one of the worst series in a long time.  There is not one figure the screams must have to me.

Wow. I think it's fantastic. Banana man. Penguin suit guy. The imp. Hiker and wildlife photographer with the baby penguin are solid. Babysitter chic is unique. Vintage pirate.

How did you find my Facebook profile pic?

So is this supposed to be a stun gun?

I have a secret weapon. For those that don't know I'm an industrial fire fighter for a local refinery. Whenever I go out deal hunting I always wear my uniform. It seems to help out in negotiations....lol.

Thanks for the info! I've got another option in addition to a doctor's outfit to either bypass store limits or get a discount on Lego.

Any other crusty old guys think of the  Bananaman cartoon, that aired on Nickeldeon during the 80's, when they see the Banana Guy minifigure?

Jeeze, I need a handful of these for my Halloween stuff...so the devil, kid with spooky book. Then the penguin and banana. Then the mini penguin...

Has there been any word on the street yet about hints towards what might be coming down the pipe for series 17 (or whatever)..  Series 16 is sooo yesterday.

Absolutely nothing, we don't even know the Batman series figures yet.

The covert ops guy's suit's world with an "A" logo looks like a reference to the Alpha Team theme from years ago, and I imagine the rogue's emblem is a link to Castle's Wolfpack. Neat.

I recognized the "A" as well, looks like a mix between the Alpha Team "globe" logo and the Agents "A" logo.

Anyway Alpha Team had some fun sets. I remember getting the ATV as a kid.

It fits to mix the two theme ideas together considering the latter came from the prior in a sense, and I was almost about to say I also had the ATV myself but realized it was the Bomb Squad with a couple of those huge Technic blaster shooter thingies that were fun as heck launching at everything ....including the cat. Ha.

While scouting out clearance events, I found a fresh case of these at my local walmart (in fact, the 3 that i've visited over the last few days all had a fresh case), and managed to smoosh out a set.  Didn't have the energy to even begin smooshing out more sets, to hawk online, so i'm skipping that for this series because I just don't want to be stuck with sets of these this early in the game, but my son and I grabbed an extra Banana Guy and Hiker.

By far my favorites are Banana Guy and Hiker.  Those two are the absolute gems of this set.  Banana Guy is IMO quirkier, and better than Hot Dog Guy and easily gets placed in the top 5 of all time from all the CMF series.  Truly a gem.  Hiker is also a gem, and i'd put him in my top 10 of all time too.  That figure just stands out, and I think it's well done, but i've backpacked a lot in my life, so maybe i'm biased.

After that i'd rank Babysitter, and Mariachi guy as 2 other standouts.  The rest are kinda "meh" to me.

I also think this is an amazing series with tons of new accessories.  We get two new animals in the Penguin and the Terrier, 2 suit characters and a Lego baby for cripes sake.   There are a couple duds as always, but overall I really like this series.

I finished out everything I needed for this set today. Got a complete set, plus three extra Mariachis and two extra Penguins.

And an extra kick boxer and hiker so I could make a woman hiker for my friend that's about to hit the Pacific Coast Trail for a month.

Found an unopened box at WM today - scanned at $3.97 ea. Smooshed for the banana guy and found 4 of him.

Tempted to grab the whole box...

[FanOfLEGO101]

Checked my local WM, nothing.

Fresh case at my local Walmart. I left it. Not sure there is money to be made on this right now.

There's always money in the banana minifig.

Any word from minifigsplus if cases will be for sale?  If I can get one before the end of August before school sessions start, that'd be awesome.  Anyone?

I have been telling people that it looks like we will post pre-orders late August for shipment in September. However, I cannot make any promises. That is only based on one supplier's information.
