Well, if they retail more here then they will most certainly cost more for you aussies. Shoot, poor Grolim in New Zealand; how much will he get stuck paying for these? Oy vey....

 

We have been paying $4.99 here for regular series CMFs (approx $4 US).  I can see these being $5.99 perhaps $6.49.  Doesn't matter as I'll still buy them  which I guess is what TLG is banking on.

Not good news but thank you for confirming that all the same. Let's see, the packs are still 'blind', completely manufactured in China, and continue to offer the same single minfigure with perchance a couple of accessories. So essentially nothing has changed yet we are forced to pay more for the same exact thing as before again. I hate saying it but damn Lego, you really are getting greedy. Why do I see this as an even bigger invite to torn open packets laying around in the aisles or worse with being outright stolen?

While nobody wants to pay a higher price, it is entirely expected since they are licensed characters. None of the other CMF sets are licensed. These figs will probably be way more valuable than any of the other sets. I mean how many decades have the Simpsons been around? If a show has been around for this long there have to be a ton of fans. The CMF have a somewhat predictable and short shelf lifetime. These will probably be hard to find in stores too which will up their scarcity.

When are these due out?

$3.99 msrp means $4.19 / $4.99 TRU prices! Wahoo!

Ugh I don't think I can stomach the higher prices! The cmf already come up to 3.91 after taxes in Canada.

OMG, I can't wait for these! Very nice

Here's the list of all figures apparently:

---Keep it secret. Keep it safe.---

• Homer Simpson
• Marge Simpson
• Bart Simpson
• Lisa Simpson
• Maggie Simpson
• Grampa Simpson
• Ned Flanders
• Ralph Wiggum
• Nelson Muntz
• Apu Nahasapeemapetilon
• Chief Wiggum
• Krusty the Clown
• Itchy
• Scratchy
• Mr. Burns
• Milhouse

Since the Collectable Minifigures series will have 'normal' versions of Homer and Ned Flanders, does anyone else feel like those two should have been included with The Simpsons House set instead of the ones that were? The house featured classic Bart, Lisa, and Maggie, so to me the inclusion of "Homer at work" and "chef Flanders" instead of their regular attire seemed odd especially considering there was going to be this Minifigures series for them. On that note, what alternate versions can be done for Bart, Lisa, or Maggie? I don't remember Maggie wearing anything else aside from her baby blue clothing.

Different accessories or positions maybe? Lisa with Saxophone or with something else? . Maggie crawling vs. sitting up.

You could be right. There's another thing; why didn't Lisa have her signature saxophone in the set? They already molded the instrument perfectly for Series 11's Jazz Musician.

The only thing I could think of for an alternate Maggie:

 

Maggie with a gun.

these will be gone so fast it will boggle the mind.  there will be a series of posts by people who saw them, didn't buy them, thought about it went back and never could get their hands on one ever again at anything less than 5x msrp except for the milhouse figure which will be the stinker super common minifig.

I've never really invested in CMF, but I think I might have a go given that it is the Simpsons. So, where would I be able to purchase an entire box?

walgreens.  i am going to hit every walgreens.  i also might try and bribe the walmart toy manager to get a few boxes before the sell date.

How can you have Burns and no Smithers? Lego a bit homophobic perhaps? No Moe or Barney either, I get they don't want a bartender or a drunk. 

my walmart often puts sets out before release date.

Meh.

 

Re-releasing the entire Simpsons family AND Itchy and Scratchy doesn't exactly give much variety or depth in regards to characters for the average Simpsons fan.

I think you gotta have them in there for people that don't want the whole house. Plenty of minifig only collectors. 

 

I do agree that it's a weak lineup. We could see another wave, who knows.

Hopefully there will be Moe's Tavern, Barney's Bowlarama and other sets coming that will include those figs.

I just can't see lego doing a bar. Most parents don't want junior serving up drinks to Barney while Duffman dances with bikini babes on the pool table.

i would also say this is a no go given that this is being marketed to children.

I would also not count on the church with the reverend being made any time soon.

 

The most obvious sets would be:

1) barts classroom - opening sequence with chalkboard.- 12.99 set

 

2) barts treehouse - 29.99 - would be a great add on for the house.

 

3) flanders "house" - or half of house facing the simpsons including picket fence - 12.99.

 

4) town center with statue of jebediah springfield and including the bully minifigs as an exclusive. 29.99

 

5) school bus featuring exclusive Otto minifig.

 

5)  quikimart - 59.99 - this is where they could include barney since he's been in the quikimart

 

6) comic book shop - 59.99

 

i could go on for a while.
