Thanks for the info!

Not as bad as I expected, at least I like 1 - Shakespeare   Abe is cool, but not my theme.

I honestly don't know about this one. The whole lineup just seems so haphazardly thrown together. I do like Lincoln and Shakespeare as I was hoping to see them somewhere actually along with Michelangelo (the artist) but I don't know about the rest really. I do the like the mermaid with her blue hair, I always have been a fan robots so I like those as well, and Wyldstyle's outfit is cute, but Taco Tuesday Guy and "Where's my Pants" Guy?! Are you freakin' serious?! With three of those being western styled, I don't think we will be seeing anything similarly themed be released as a set for the film.

First off, here is what this series box will appear as.

And here is a close-up for all the characters from The Brick Fan.

Now I have to ask, has anyone else noticed the fact this series does not say "Series 12" anywhere on the box?

It just says "The Lego Movie" right square in the middle so is this really Series 12 at all or just a side line same as Olympic Team GB was?

That's possible!! 

A barista! How wonderful for my Starbucks build.  I can see myself buying 20 of them just for the cups.

My thoughts exactly! A bit to classy for a Tim Hortons though hahaha...

Can't say I'm overly impressed with this group of minifigs. Like someone already said, it seems rather thrown together. And many of them seem similar or identical to past minifigs (policeman, mermaid, lady with the cat, etc.). Taco guy's probably my fave, just because he'smunlike any minifigs I already have. Maybe this is just a "special" release to go with the movie, and there will be an official series 12 yet to come. One can only hope. :)

Definately. Probably the only one I will buy some extras for myself I think.

I had to look that up cause I had no idea what you were talking about but that makes sense seeing how I don't live up your way.

It might just be a odd game of semantics but it just does not seem right for the box let alone the packets to not state "Series 12" anywhere at all if that is what they are. I personally would be easily inclined to think this is a special release where it is part of the line but not directly involved. While I do like the characters separately, all of them together as a bunch just seem so mixmatched. That may sound strange compared to the variety in previous series' but they do to me. A couple of them could go in line of a typical series but the whole thing truly does feel like just a bunch of movie characters stuck together for the heck of it. These minifigures may be original for the film but not as a series.

Now that you mention it, I don't see any "Series 12" labels anywhere.  This means that we still have Series 12 to be looking for!  That would make sense though, considering that minifigures have always been best sellers on lego.com.

As do I. There may be a second wave of sets we have not seen pics for yet so here's to hoping. ;)

i was hoping there would be a limited edition figure this time.....oh well...

I went and added the usual poll per standard of all the other Collectable Minifigure threads.

Here are individual close-ups for all characters.

Calamity Drone

Gail the Construction Worker

Abraham Lincoln

Larry the Barista

Panda Guy

Velma Staplebot

William Shakespeare

Taco Tuesday Guy

i like the Scribbe-Face Bad Cop's face. 

The only 2 I will probably buy 

 

3x Wild West Wyldstyle (if there are only 2 per case otherwise 2) open one and keep 1-2 sealed!

 

1x Marsha - Queen of the Mermaids (for the hair and accessories sell the rest)

I think the official listing on Shop-at-Home confirms it. This is not Series 12 but a sideline just like Olympic Team GB as it reads "The Lego Movie Series".

I would guess that means we will have to wait a little longer for the next actual series in the pipeline assuming that does happen.

I wonder how the S12 would be. You think they will wait long after this one?

I think the simpsons minifigure line is after this one so it might be a while before we get s12

They should also put simpsons into another separate line like the olympic. I think it's a bit weird to suddenly have simpsons as S12. Let's think about it. All the way up until S11, you have various mix of minifigures. But all of the sudden, a single theme?

Whitefang just posted his review of the Lego Movie Series Minifigures.
