Is this a Pride month thing?

It does seem to match the 11 colors in the new pride flag according to Google

OK, I didn't think of it at first, but I did notice other retailers are also participating with specialty lines.

This is amazing. My daughter was next to me when I opened this thread and she is PUMPED.

[House Schubert]

that is awesome.

Love it! 

[$20 on joe vs dan]

11 colors...I think there are a total of 8 individual pieces to a MF...would be cool to make a singular all colors hybrid...or LEGO can issue a crazy hair, torso, or leg piece that has all 11...or issue a super iconic LEGO set w/ all 11 colors...I'm thinking T1

I've been staying away from collecting monochrome figs, this is obviously luring me to the dark side.

LEGO can't keep any secrets in the closet these days...

Sorry, had to edit out the pics folks.  If/when this set is announced, pics can be posted.

They are making national news with this set. I'm really happy to see Lego make such a stand. I'll also be happy to qfll the hell out of it.

This is being released for Pride Month (June), I'm very curious to see/know if this will be a limited release due to the specific event or if Lego will produce the heck out of these for a while and make $$$$.

[Gonkalin]

I also wonder if TLG could re-release it every june for Pride.

Even better (for the collector) would be if TLG made a new Pride set every year.

Those are my thoughts...Can't hurt to buy three first though

I think that set just looks cool.  Plus, for 35$ for all those monochrome minifigs seems like a no-brainer from a financial sense.  I'm typically wrong on literally everything investment wise  but with all of this coverage - I think it will sell out quickly then be like the grand piano - gone for a while then easily attainable in about three months.  Sell it for a high before they come back in stock.  I bet it'll be on shelves for a while, but the initial demand will go fast because the wider appeal beyond just AFOLs.  Just my .02.

I'm shocked they included a white figure.....I thought those were not allowed in this day and age.....

[elmaslıefendi]

Easy & instant buy for a modernist such as myself😃! This is great😃! Kids should totally know that & constantly be reminded of this, I love it😃! Not enough companies do this, glad at least LEGO, the biggest toy manufacturer on the planet, is doing it😃! Raised my respect for them as a company greatly😃! Woohoo, goo LGBTQ😃, the Lord is with you😃!

Those are minorities in one of our local suburbs.

Yay LEGO!
