mightycaseyatbat Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Nerdgasm. I really want to collect them all. But... With Rebels, and the continued remakes, it's like peeing in the wind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mudcatsfan Posted February 16, 2015 Share Posted February 16, 2015 Truly amazing. My one question (and i fear the answer) did they Kragle them??? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fossilrock Posted March 8, 2015 Share Posted March 8, 2015 One has to guess that the winter wave will be a Star Wars series for the upcoming movie. They haven't announced anything beyond the second Simpsons series, and it would fit perfectly timing, since Series 14 is rumored to be halloween themed characters due out in October. The popularity of a Star Wars minifigure series could be through the roof, if it does happen. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nope, Hasbro owns the Star Wars license for sale of individual figurines, so unless they give up that license, LEGO will be forced to make sets with mini figures in them. This is also why battle packs have never had just mini figures, other than in the early 2000's, where Lego was told to stop making entirely figurine battle packs.

I'm wondering if in the future that could change. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that a CMF line would be insanely wonderful. More wonderful would be vintage style carded ones, can you imagine them hanging on their tiny pegs? No use getting excited for something that won't happen though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Frogger21 Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 I don't like the idea of single figures as an investor because it devalues sets if people can go buy a legitimate Star Wars minifigure for $4. Maybe I'm wrong but $4 is way too low for Star Wars minifigure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NZ-EUG Posted May 19, 2015 Share Posted May 19, 2015 I guess thats part of the Lego marketing, for the Star Wars franchise, is to get the consumer to buy the set to get the new mini figs, makes it hard on the wallet, shelling out for new version of AT-AT walker just to get new variant of general veers for example. UCS Tie for new printed Tie pilot etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
conceptmachine Posted August 15, 2015 Share Posted August 15, 2015 (edited) I'd sill buy the sets too. From a collector standpoint, I think it would be cool/fun if lego would do rare variants within sets, not series. Say a different outfit, face or mask, etc. This would be great for collectors and resellers. You'd be forced to open the set to see which one you got. Win for Lego as i know I'd buy more sets just to try and find some. I can see how some wouldn't like it though.
