Sabrejimmy Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 Does anyone else notice the strange smell that comes from CMFs? It almost smells toxic. I hope this is not a trend that will continue as more parts are being made in China. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
exciter1 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I saw this thread title...and I thought they were coming out with a scratch & sniff series. So disappointing!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Diabolos80 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I haven't sniffed any CMFs lately... Maybe it's your upper lip Seriously though, yeah they use cheaper materials, but I don't think playing with Made in China Lego is gonna give you diabetes or anything.

comicblast Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I don't really smell my CMS mini figures, but I have gotten at least one misprint. I just checked and my figs smell like...regular I guess. What kind f smell are you getting? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rcdb1984 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I bought a box of MF 10 and when you open a bunch of them in a hurry I did notice a raunchy toxic plastic smell. I backed up a little while opening them and cut them with scissors to end it faster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sabrejimmy Posted June 23, 2013 Author Share Posted June 23, 2013 Smells like teen spirit. ha ha. There only seems to be a strong smell when you first open the bag. After that the smell seems to dissipate. It's not something I would normally notice or comment about, but it smells so weird. I don't notice it with an other sets, just the CMFs.

It could be that the bags are sealed so then the spell cannot escape. In regular boxes, I think the bags have small holes throughout them, and the box isn't exactly airtight either, which gives it time to escape... Maybe.

TheOrcKing Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 There is a smell from the mystery bag itself when it's first cut open. I haven't smelled anything coming from the minifigures themselves and notice the same scent from some brand new DVD covers. It is wierd and just plain funky, and I would guess it is some kind of byproduct from the factory assembly line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blackjack Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I think I remember a smell, but it has been a long time since I bought a CM. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadowsk1 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 I like the smell. It reminds me of when I used to play CCGs. Ah memories. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willy431 Posted June 23, 2013 Share Posted June 23, 2013 You are smelling the plastic outgassing. All plastics outgas...especially when trapped in a sealed foil package and brought up to over 90 degrees Fahrenheit during transit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope this is not a trend that will continue as more parts are being made in China. I am not too surprised - I have personally always thought that the CMF's kinda stunk as investments.

LowestFormOfWit Posted June 24, 2013 Share Posted June 24, 2013 When I open them, I get the same smell I get when I open any LEGO product. The distinct aroma of money lost. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Lego Posted June 26, 2013 Share Posted June 26, 2013 I haven't really smelled any of my CMFs when I've opened them so I don't know if it smells bad or not. The normal boxed LEGO sets smell fine in my opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
