I like the Nutcracker, the Trkiye, and the Titanic Captain. I know what I have to save for now All of them! Sure, some of them could come in handy in this or that MOC or setup but that isn't exactly the point of the series.I love this series, there are some nice ideas and moulds and they are clearly aimed at the holiday months of the year. 10497 Galaxy Explorer alternate model instructions now available for download, Sebastian Vettel rocks this awesome LEGO-themed helmet for the 2022 Hungarian Grand Prix, Review: 40521 Mini Disney The Haunted Mansion, Buying Guide: Every new LEGO set releasing in August 2022.

LEGO Commander Cody returns in 75337 AT-TE Walker, and 75323 The Justifier revealed! Not bad if you like Christmas; I don't. "Brit here, we tend to eat turkey as our Christmas dinners. "Look at Series 22. I dont really care for this series. This series is totally middle-of-the-road for me. Still waiting to see what his torso print looks like without the ship thoughI really like the Snowman. "I wonder if they still are. First up are a handful of new costumed characters, which bring everything from dragons to turkeys into the mix then there are some festive Christmas-themed characters like a Nutcracker and more. The Knight and the Nutcracker are the only two that I find mildly interesting.Overall one of the most forgettable series, for me. Its weird half are holiday themed and the rest are just a mishmash. @aarekk:Ever since S2 was announced, Ive noticed that pretty much every new series announcement is met with best series ever and worst series ever comments, no matter what it consists of. Maybe its just a guy in a turkey suit. @Librarian1976 said:"Popcorn Costume and Turkey Costume are fantastic, but I wonder how much the Turkeywith its association with American Thanksgivinghas international appeal.

Knight of the yellow castle is interesting. All the others doesn't appeal to me, specially because I see no use in costumes. For those that say this is the worst series and then say they like 2 or 3 of them. Thats why they rigged the vote to push Castle in front of Bionicle. "I can only see two sides, and only one is printed? Theres almost a perfect ratio of guy and woman Minifigures this time 8/6 (Im counting the snowman as a man off of the name, idk what the face print under the mask is). Maybe its just a guy in a turkey suit.Knight of the Yellow Castle is amazing. LEGO Avatar 75574 Toruk Makto & Tree of Souls officially revealed at LEGO CON 2022. I find the Easter bunny more egregious. Knight of the Yellow Castle is a must have for me.I think this is going to be a popular one given the release of 10305. This could just be a generic wolf based on either Little Red Riding Hood or the Three Little Pigs, but any reference to a Disney production would be a veiled hint at best. Of course, I could be reading too much into it. "Funny, most christians I know find the whole Santa/reindeer thing terrible and feel the need to explain every year that they have nothing to do with the birth of their saviour but see it as a late celebration of pagan Solstice. Theyll fit store shelves later this fall on September 1, where theyll be available in the plastic bags seemingly for the last time. Please log in to post comments on this article. But none that I really WANT. Is that printing on the 4 sides of a 1x1 Plate in the snow globe of the Christmas Elf? I sense they're running out of ideas out there at the drawing board, too many costume figures. https://brickset.com/sets/71011-16/Queen"The Queen comes from a slightly larger kingdom than the Classic King, and as such she wonders if it wouldnt be a good idea to be a little less old-fashioned and a little more up-to-date. Here's your very first look at the @lego, Retro gaming meets @lego with the 10306 Atari, The new LEGO 76218 Sanctum Sanctorum teased for a reveal at LEGO CON 2022. Weve seen a giant Castle (recalculated to be in first place), and a 3-in-1 Classic Space set (bumped from second to third, I believe), but let me know when they announce a big celebratory set for the theme that saved the company from bankruptcy and _STILL_ beat all the Space votes combined. LEGO announces 10497 Galaxy Explorer, a reimagination of a Classic Space icon. Heres a breakdown of all 12 new LEGO Series 23 Collectible minifigures. @GSR_MataNui I'm interested to know who you think the target audience for CMFs is? This series does have a lot going for it. These figures are tempting, but not buying them with the scummy blind boxes. What does a bunny leaving chocolate and play six eggs around symbolize? It doesn't seem to be a werewolf, so it's just a wolf in overalls? While there isnt a specific theme per se, there are two main different assortments that the minifigs fall into this time in the LEGO Series 23 minifigures. Previous ones I have cherry picked the ones I like but this is the first time I am interested in all of them. It doesn't seem to be a werewolf, so it's just a wolf in overalls? Green Dragon Costume and Knight of the Yellow Castle battle. Looking forward to getting them at work in September! Oh, my must-buy characters in no particular order: This might be my least favorite CMF series in a while. The knight gave them an offer they couldnt refuse. While switching to boxes will likely be a big win for the environmental side of the LEGO Groups packaging, it will offer one notable downside to its plastic counterparts. Maybe the fairy's candycane too. Not because any of the figures were bad per-sey, but because:A) This series has nothing to do with the other 90th anniversary sets.B) Despite being a themed series, it lacks a sense of cohesion. Fits in very nicely with the existing 'castle children' sub-theme they have going.The rest of them are nice to varying degrees, however some are a bit of an overlap with existing CMF releases. Use of this site signifies your agreement to the terms of use. Cardboard Robot and Popcorn Costume get together for fun. A medium nougat would have better reflected the idea of a cardboard costume.The Ferry Captain is okayAs a non-Christian, the Reindeer Costume and other Christmas-themed minifigures dont appeal to me. I like these one, I really do; and I want army-build a bunch of Snowmen so I have 'em invade my City-folk with their boner 'brick' chilling battlecry: "HAAAAAAPPY BIRTHDAAAAAY":), the knight is kinda neat and nostalgic but other than that this series doesn't really have anything going for it. In music terms this is equivalent to Bon Jovi's 'Crossroads' album - every song is great! You can of course always bookmarkour guide right hereor sign up forour newsletter. If this next series is 'evidence' then I think kids and more casual buyers are the primary targets. :D"Funny, for me this is one of the worst series ever. Who, or what, will you find inside. I think my least favourite is the wolf, because I'm not sure why it's wearing clothes. "I was trying to be generous, but I only really love three of them. If the Reindeer didnt have the gift as an accessory, I might see it as more of a general animal costume, but the gift turns it into one of Santas trusty steeds.Green Dragon Costume and Wolf costume are okay.Popcorn Costume and Turkey Costume are fantastic, but I wonder how much the Turkeywith its association with American Thanksgivinghas international appeal. In music terms this is equivalent to Bon Jovi's 'Crossroads' album - every song is great! There is also no new pet or unique accessory. A medium nougat would have better reflected the idea of a cardboard costume.The Ferry Captain is okayAs a non-Christian, the Reindeer Costume and other Christmas-themed minifigures dont appeal to me. I actually quite like it.Even though I dont like most if these, I am still going to buy them all"Your praise for the figures doesnt reflect your opinion that its the worst series, lol. But none that I really WANT. Arriving as the latest characters from the LEGO Group, the new Series 23 Collectible minifigures have all been officially confirmed. Teased back at LEGO CON 2022, were not getting official, high-resolution photos of the upcoming Series 23 Collectible minifigures. Which of these minifigures if your favourite? If you have LEGO news, new images or something else to tell us about, send us a message. The figures are cute, although mostly not useful for general purposes in a city or with other LEGO themes. This is one of the worst series, in my opinion.The Cardboard Robot is hideous. Ditto for the Sugar Fairy's candy cane. Emmet taught us this. I wish we had got a more regular knight, this one reminds me of some kids cartoon I think it was called The Little Princess?? It may not suit your tastes, but sometimes themed waves like this use up the new mold budget on stuff thats not general purpose like new animal molds (skunks, dachshunds, etc). There isn't any fig i want to have. Most are just variants on what has been done before and a bit stale for me.The Snowman is good.

Test shot with the ne, August LEGO releases in 30 seconds! Maybe one popcorn for the Palace Cinema, alongside a pile of popcorn 1x1 bricks. The figures in this series can be divided into three categories.First up are generic costume figs, in the vein of series 18: Cardboard Robot, Ferry Captain, Green Dragon Costume, Wolf Costume, and Popcorn CostumeNext are various winter holiday themed figs: Reindeer, Turkey Costume, Christmas Elf, Nutcracker, Snowman, and Sugar FairyAnd finally, ONE figure based on legacy products: Knight of the Yellow Castle.If I was in charge of this series I would have made it all figures based on high ranking themes from the 90th Anniversary vote:Toa Tahu (Mata)Johnny Thunder (or maybe Baron Von Baron since we already got an updated Johnny not too long ago)Knight of the Yellow Castle Governor Broadside The Black KnightDragon Master BurnabusAxel (Rock Raiders) Blacktron (Original Version) Commander ColdAquanautM-Tron OgelIf they wanted to go all out and make more than 12 minifigs, they could've even made everyone happy by throwing in:Paradisa Civilian Tim (Time Cruisers) WolfpackAnn DroidYou may have noticed I skipped Classic Space, Pirates, Forestmen, Space Police, and Black Falcons on that list, despite them being high ranking. This is what weve come to expect from the lineup, be it the standard ones like this upcoming collection or licensed figures from Marvel and the like. Some neat accessories (gingerbread cookie, candy cane, snow globe etc). Too many costumes which are absolutely useless for my creations. Putting together the Lego Winter Village is something my family enjoys doing together each year.

The whole castle theme almost doubled the second one. @Librarian1976 said:"This is one of the worst series, in my opinion.The Cardboard Robot is hideous. I love the Ferry Captain! "And I realize only now that the Queen is related to this too! Thanks to a landing page on the LEGO Shop site, you can now check out what the upcoming lineup has in store. "Diabetes and sugar addiction. Each of the figures is complemented by the usual baseplate and a matching accessory. Much better to collect the ones of interest, or sometimes just parts of interest, and use those in MOCs. I can't wait to get all 12 of them. @Giorgio78:Theyve been pointedly ignoring Bionicle for years, and certainly wouldnt have expected it to win. It doesn't seem to be a werewolf, so it's just a wolf in overalls? I'll probably get two Nutcrackers.
