It’s been almost 10 years since the first release of the LEGO CMF series, and if we compare CMF Series 1 and CMF Series 19, and take a quick look at every other one in between, it’s easy to see how much they have evolved. He said “Any LEGO minifigure series, if you showed them 10 years ago, would be incredible, including this one”. Something I heard on just2good‘s video made me dig a little deeper. I still get excited when I see the smallest and simplest of sets. Which, if I’m being honest, is a little scary, but couldn’t be farther from the truth. I even went as far as to say “Maybe I’m not as excited about LEGO sets & figures as I used to be”. I just told myself so many minifigures are being released each year, it’s hard to get a great one all the time. Until today, I never really gave it much thought.
Whenever a new CMF series image is released, I tend to focus more on the accessories and less on the minifigures themselves. Lately, I’ve realized a few changes in myself. If I only like the accessory, I get that instead of the whole set. If I don’t like the figure, I don’t even bother getting it. I look at the whole figure, look at their parts, accessories, and pick which ones I want to add to my collection. Whenever the images of a new CMF series is leaked or released, I start going through all the minifigures. Well, there is one exception, but it was a gift, so doesn’t really count. I never got the whole set of any of them. Since I mostly collect minifigures rather than sets, it made my life easy to get a single minifigure for a reasonable price. Personally, ever since their first appearance in 2010, I have always liked the idea of the CMF Series.
I mean, I know I was a bit disappointed in the latest CMF series, but the reactions I got from my friends were usually positive. I have to admit I was intrigued by the title. Now, I usually don’t watch review videos, but when I do, his videos are my first stop. I thought I’d take a quick look at the new minifigures and their accessories and share my first impressions with you.Īs I was searching for images to use here, I came across a video titled “ Why LEGO Minifigures Series 19 is disappointing“. Some of the images, like the dachshund and the rugby mould, have already leaked a few weeks before, but some were brand new. On Thursday night, my Instagram feed was filled with the images of the new LEGO CMF Series 19.
