CMF Series 12 Revealed

November kicks off with a new Collectible Minfigure Series being revealed over on Brickfanatics. This series is supposedly composed of characters from The LEGO Movie. If that's true, then this movie will  be hilarious. Can anybody explain the three robot figs? Apart from being too similar for a single series, they look like zombies!

The lineup:
William Shakespeare
Gail the Construction Worker
Panda Guy
Abraham Lincoln
Taco Tuesday Guy
Larry the Barista
President Business
Calamity Drone
Marsha Queen of the Mermaids
Wild West Wyldstyle
Scribbe-Face Bad Cop
Velma Staplebot
Hard Hat Emmet
"Where are my Pants?" Guy
Mrs. Scratchen- Post
Wiley Fusebot

I'm having a hard time putting names with faces on some of these characters. But they certainly look good. I'm in love with Panda and Shakespeare.

Review: CMF Series 10 by Whitefang

It's here! The much anticipated review of the Collectible Minfigures Series 10 by Whitefang on Eurobricks. As always the review is excellent. Plenty of pictures, and some great commentary by Whitefang.
See the review on Eurobricks.

Series 10 Minifigures Revealed

To top off a pretty boring month (as far as LEGO news goes), Argos has posted a picture of the new Series 10 Collectible Minifigures. Bursting with new pieces and with insane amounts of detail, I'm very surprised LEGO can still deliver so strongly after so many previous minifigures.
The lineup includes:

• Sea Captain
• Sad Clown
• Librarian
• Grandpa
• Bumblebee Girl
• Roman Commander
• Warrior Woman
• Decorator
• Tomahawk Warrior
• Trendsetter
• Baseball Fielder
• Revolution Soldier
• Motorcycle Mechanic
• Medusa
• Skydiver
• Paintball Player
• Special Gold Minifigure

What a fantastic wave. My favorites are Warrior Woman, Roman Commander, Tomahawk Warrior, and Grandpa. Yes, Grandpa. I've been waiting for actual bald minifigures for a long time. LEGO, YOU ROCK!
And yes, there will be a 17th minifigure. 4,000 (I believe) exclusive gold minifigures will be sorted out into random boxes. Have fun searching for those!
What are your thoughts on Series 10?

CMF Series 10 Picture and News

A picture has come up from I don't know where of the Collectible Minifigures Series 10. My guess is the picture was taken at the London Toy Fair from above the LEGO booth.
Series 10 will be available in May in gold bags. For this series, LEGO will be sorting 4,000 gold minifigures into random boxes. That is what I believe I read. Though I can't remember where. No word on wether the gold minifigures will be gold versions of one of the figures, or a plain gold figure.

Series 10:
Sea Captain
Sad Clown
Librarian
Grandpa
Bumblebee Girl
Roman Commander
Warrior Woman
Decorator
Tomahawk Warrior
Trendsetter
Baseball Fielder
Revolution Soldier
Motorcycle Mechanic
Medusa
Skydiver
Paintball Player

An updated version of the Series 11 lineup has also been released.
Yeti
Evil Mech
Welder
Lady Robot
Jazz Musician
Constable
Holiday Elf
Bavarian Lady
Scarecrow
Mountain Climber
Grandma
Tiki Warrior
Gingerbread Man
Barbarian

I'm very excited for the rest of 2013! What do you think about Series 10 and 11 of the Collectible Minifigures?

BrickEnd Celebrates 2 Years! + Giveaway!

Today, January 21st 2013, BrickEnd celebrates 2 years of existence! It's been a great experience, despite the ups and downs. I have personally written over 300 posts for this site, and I'm very happy so many of you have the same enjoyment in reading them as I do in writing them.

We will be giving away two brand new Series 5 Collectible Minifigures. One Gladiator and one Evil Dwarf. Two people, chosen at random, will each receive one of the figures. Both are brand new, never been assembled. The bags have been opened to verify the contents, but nothing has been taken out.

One entry per person, per email. However, other family members and/or other people living in the same house are allowed to enter. But please use a different email per person. Otherwise your entry will not be counted.

Thanks for supporting BrickEnd over the last 2 years. I hope that in 2 more years we'll still be going strong!

Review: CMF Series 9 on Eurobricks

Eurobricks member Whitefang has done an awesome review of the Collectible Minifigures Series 9. You may remember him reviewing every other series over there. But this one stands out as one of the best.
Complete with a Cyclops, Forest Maiden, Battle Mech, and Plumber, this series may be one of the most sought after ones since series 1. Which you'll remember was only so sought after because of the very limited quantity.

Check out Whitefang's review on Eurobricks.

Series 9 Sneak Peek

LEGO has released a sneak peek of the Collectible Minifigures Series 9 on their Facebook page. Apparently they'll be releasing more images early next week. Let's hope for some front shots.

Collectible Minifigures Series 10 & 11 Lineup

The Collectible Minifigures Series 10 and 11 lineups have been revealed over on The Daily Brick. So much for my theory of LEGO stopping at series 10.
In addition, Eurobricks members have complied some 3D images of what we could possibly get in these next waves.

Series 10: Sea Captain Sad Clown Librarian Grandpa Bumblebee Girl Roman Commander Warrior Woman Decorator Tomahawk Warrior Trendsetter Baseball Fielder Revolution Soldier Motorcycle Mechanic Medusa Skydiver Paintball Player

Series 11: Yeti Evil Mech Welder Lady Robot Jazz Musician Constable Holiday Elf Bavarian Lady Scarecrow Mountain Climber Grandma Tiki Warrior Gingerbread Man Barbarian Dinner Waitress Scientist

As you can read, there are plenty of excellent possibilities here. The Tomahawk Warrior, Revolution Soldier, Bavarian Lady, and Tiki Warrior will most likely be amazing figures.

What do you think about the Series 10 and 11 lineups?

Collectible Minifigures Series 9 Chicken Suit Guy

Only a little over a week after the reveal of the Collectible Minifigures Series 9 Dr. Splitz, we get the Chicken Suit Guy.
Initial reaction: Oh my goodness, that is awesome. Wait a second, where's the feather printing?
LEGO has failed to give us printing where there should be plenty. Are they throwing away a perfectly good chance to prove their printing skills? Maybe this is just an early picture and the suit isn't completed. But I think not.

Collectible Minifigures Series 9 Dr. Splitz

The first picture for Series 9 of the Collectible Minifigures has been found! Not a group shot, just a close up of the Dr. Splitz minifigure. Is it Two-face's cousin?

Series 9 will be available in January 2013 with silver packaging.

Thanks to Noriart on Flickr for the picture.

Collectible Minifigures Series 9 Lineup

A lineup of the minfigs from Series 9 of the Collectible Minifigures has popped up. Sounds like an exciting series with lots of new molds.

• Alien Trooper
• Chicken Suit Guy
• Maid Marion
• Heroic Knight
• Cyclops
• Mermaid
• Fortune Teller
• Dr. Splitz
• Roller Derby Girl
• Judge
• Battle Mech
• Caeser
• Downtown Cop
• Plumber
• Waiter
• Hollywood Starlet

I see some great possibilities here. The Battle Mech, Chicken Suit Guy, Cyclops, and Caeser could be great. Then again, they might fail miserably. 

The packaging for this series is rumored to be Silver. Not unlike the whitish-grey of series 6.

Release date is January. Will LEGO stop after Series 10?

LEGO Team GB Collectible Minifigures

We've already seen some pictures of the LEGO Team GB Collectible Minifigures, but what's wrong with seeing more!?

These figures look fabulous! I think LEGO has put a lot of work into designing these, maybe even more work than Series 7. The colors on these is just fantastic! The great blue, red and yellow work together for a stunning completion.

I am so excited for the Olympics! It has been four long years since Beijing, and I can't wait to see the games again. And now it's barely two months away!

Series 7 Review on Eurobricks

Those of you that frequently check Eurobricks have probably noticed that Whitefang has done excellent reviews on all the Collectible Minifigures. 

Well, he has done it again! This time you can see the entire Series 7 in another masterful review.

Head over to Eurobricks, or see it here.
