I’m not a big CMF guy, but dnd is my jam. Can you buy full series somehow?

These got leaked nearly at the start of the year!

I'll be getting the Lady of pain, and the Dragonborn paladin. They look so cool!

I love how Fortnite gets everyone on here confused but *this* is the one that people are excited for?

I'm usually a CMF completionist but I do not like these or get the appeal at all. Waste of a slot.

I don't know any of those names but they look cool.

They look great. Australia gets shafted with the release date again though /:

I wonder why the odd mix of named characters and generic figures. Could they just not decide one way or the other or not think they could get enough named characters?

Either through third-party resellers who sell packs (at a premium of course) or, of you can access a store where you can handle the boxes, you can fetch the list of 2D barcodes at the bottom of the boxes from sites such as https://jaysbrickblog.com/minifig-scanner/ where you can scan individual boxes from the built-in tool (if it works, it didn't on my phone) or with a phone app that can scan those. See e.g. https://jaysbrickblog.com/news/lego-minifigures-series-26-space-qr-code-weight-identification-guide/ for the Space CMF 71046

It's actually because there are 12 character classes in the base D&D game, and the anniversary set introduced four of them. These minifigs give us 7 more, so the only class missing is the Monk (and the Artificer that was released in supplements).

Because it's a tabletop RPG, the players are the main characters, so there aren't that many iconic, unique named characters that everyone would know. Even the Lady of Pain is a bit of a stretch to include here, it's probably because a new supplement about the city she rules just came out...

But yeah, this is an absolute treat for us D&D fans, but I believe anyone with a soft spot for
the fantasy genre will enjoy these. "

That does make sense actually, forgot that there wasn’t actually a bard amongst the party in the anniversary set, the Dragonborn innkeeper is a retired one.
Of the named characters, Tasha has a book named after her and Strahd seems externally popular throughout editions…the Lady of Pain and Szass Tam are a bit more of a stretch though. You’re probably right that it’s because they just did a Planescaoe book (and she is at least quite distinctive with that headgear) but Tam has lingered in the background even in the movie and largely gets displaced as “big bad evil lich” by the likes of Acererak (who also has some distinctive headgear) or even Vecna (draw on that Stranger Thinhs crowd who don’t realise the two are different characters!)

Moneys too tight to mention but I will be picking up Strahd for sure. Great set!

Wow, they look stunning and wil be purchased asap! But the Tiefling should rather be pink: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PtLeEUPtkHk

If I order 12 from lego.com will that guarantee one of each or will it just be random?

also I don’t think it’s the case but it’d be cool if each of them came with a QR code to a character sheet/stat block for them

I was looking forward to this series to use the parts for fantasy armies but I find there is too much specific detail on them to have more than one character using the same parts. So I'll skip most of them.

Officially revealed... Only a full two weeks after Lego bloggers on youtube were posting full set in hand videos of them.

While I'm going to get the full set, a couple of these designs feel a little weak to me (the bard). Mindflayer though, I want to pick up a couple of simply to get more of the brain pup.

Or if you need 1 full set then scan those until all codes are different (and you don't have to worry about the regional differences of the codes)

Oddly enough, in my country, i can buy a whole set of cmfs on presale with a discount. This is how I got the space cmfs. The boxes were open to verify the insides, but I wanted them open anyway. So that's how I am going to pick up this series, too. The whole bunch looks awesome!

I have been playing DnD for over 40 years, love fantasy, Castle is my favorite theme, I own the DnD set. But, these figures do nothing for me. I think it is the color palette. That and the ones most interesting to me are ones I already have similar figs.

But, I am happy these exist and seem popular. I remember the days when I made custom Lego figs for DnD. Hopefully this series will spawn more.

These look amazing.

I will be getting them all x 1!

I like them. Not sure if I'll be able to get them. But I like them!

I don't play d&d and have no idea who any of these characters are, but I do quite like some of the parts

I don't play D&D but I want at least a six pack. Those look fun!

So that orange lady is basically an X-Man with Nightcrawler’s tail, Gambit’s trans-pink energy blasts, and a red version of Lockheed.

These pieces will definitely be seen in the X-Men set I imagine

I love all of these so much. But I still can't believe Lego didn't make a Drizzt figure. He's basically the Batman of D&D, by far their most popular character, featured in dozens of books and comics stretching back decades. And no Elminster either? Also a shocking omission.

I've bought every CMF for 14 years, ever since I bought a whole box of series 1 in 2010, when few people actually cared about them!

And this is the first time I have NO IDEA who a single one is !!

(I'll obviously still be buying a complete set though!)

I think these will sell out. BIY BUY BUY!

These are beautiful, truly a dream for me as I'm a huge medieval fantasy guy and this will add so much variation to my world. Planning on buying a full case, I'll probably sell off dupes of the named characters and also try and pick up a few extra Mindflayers.

Random

CMF reveals are a lot less exciting for me now that they're in boxes.

Just pre-rdered a set, now that I've seen the series. From the same seller I pre-ordered the Space set (there's a reason I saved them as a seller on eBay).

@Brickes_ficko said:"Is the figure with the purple head an Ood from Doctor Who?"

No, it's a Mind Flayer. But it's head would definitely work for an Ood, if Lego still has the license.

Might get 3 or 4... As I am not into D&D, they do not interest me that much.

You could still use it as an Ood... an Odd Ood.

Also, nothing but the Empty Child episodes top the human-to-Ood transformation sequence from 'Planet of the Ood' in graphic freakiness of the revived series.

I'm very surprised that new snake headdress in the newest wave of Monkie Kid sets wasn't applied to a Medusa monster character here.

@Fishsticks said:

If you order a pair of 6-packs, you should either get one complete set, or doubles if half the series. 50/50. If you order 12 individual, it’s a crap shoot.

That deer kid looks like sweettooth, i like it

First series in a while that I've wanted all of them, and I don't know anything about D&D.

I bet Lego wished that they had waited until they saw sales figures for the D&D set. The fact that they were left over with so many GWPs is indication at what a poor seller it was.

In 1983, the D&D adventure ‘Ravenloft’ was released; the antagonist was Strahd von Zarovich. A couple of years later, ‘Unearthed Arcana’, a D&D rulebook, was published that contained a reference to Tasha and her hideous laugh. If someone back then had told me that LEGO would some day release official minifigures of Strahd and Tasha I would absolutely not have believed them!

I’m hoping to get a sealed display box, so three complete sets.

Impressive serie ! Nothing left to desire. TLG have outdone themselves on this one. It is the first time I see a serie from which I want all minifigures. Even space did not achieve this.

I hope we get that mace head that the dragonborn paladin has in other colors

These are some excellent minifigs. If they were all yellowies instead of just one I'd be more keen on them, but even still I'm more excited for them than the actual DnD set. Not sure if I'll be getting a set of them or not yet.

The best part of this is that they DIDN'T include Drizzt :-)
Can't believe that some of my favorite BBEGs from campaigns in the 80s/early 90s are in LEGO form. It's so weird to me.

Lady of Pain is such an odd addition.

So, funny thing about (most) of these minifigs is they don't show any skin on the legs or torsos, so you can headswap them for whatever color you want. They work for any fleshtones, for yellow, or for weird alien colors. Put a robot head on them, even.

Hate them. Every single one of them.
Will I buy them? Yes.
But I still hate them!

For some you got an

Sorcerer little red dragon.
Elf Bard
Halfling Druid
Warlock
Dwarf Barbarian

Have ever seen a fantasy movie?
not that hard figure out, got of heard 1 those.

even mind flayer, looks similar Dr. Who.

Best place to get these in UK?

Asking as I have one CMF retailer I may use but these are not listed as a pre-order yet. I have plenty retailers I use for LEGO but not bought CMFs before so would appreciate any recommended CMF retailers.

Thanks

Not familiar with any of them, but I like the red baby dragon, and the figure with the golden head and the transparent round brick with fins on his staff. And the elf with sword.

Not into DnD at all, but I do love just interesting Minifigures and my goodness these are awesome

Pre-ordered a set from minifiguresplus.com yesterday.

Gonna buy them all!

$5.00 a piece seems overpriced if you ask me.

Absolutely. But they've been overpriced at $5 for several years now.

I am sure this has been asked and answered before so apologies but, if you buy a 36 box, do you get
(a) 3 full sets
OR
(b) At least one full set and a load of random figures
OR
(c) All random figures

Plus what's all this about a mystery figure? Is there a 13th we haven't seen?

Thanks

You get three full sets. And where are you seeing anything about a mystery figure? 71018-16 was a "mystery minifigure" in Series Seventeen, but that just meant he was shown as a silhouette on the packaging rather than a picture; he wasn't a chase figure or anything like that.

In theory, you should get three complete sets out of a sealed box. However there have been times when people reported sealed boxes having inconsistent contents. I also spotted a lone case of the Space wave at a store where they accidentally packed an extra minifig in the bottom layer, and it screwed up the contents of the case. It came with what would have been a free minifig for someone who purchased it as a sealed case, but I scanned all 37 boxes and only found two Space Babies.

Just want to say what a genius move it was to design this tiefling sorcerer with a kind of "belly-free" outfit, such that the otherwise unsightly skin-colored line that her tail piece generates between torso and legs actually enhances the figure!

All of the "character class" characters (four from 21348, and seven from this CMF wave) have all been carefully designed to have bodies that are gender-neutral, and which will work with any skintone you desire. None of them have bare skin on the torso or legs assemblies, including hands that are all gloved. Of course, then the question is, how well does the Tiefling tail work with any of the other ten character class bodies?

I've never gotten a full case, but I know that at least once I've gotten one of the six-packs that only had five unique figs and a duplicate.

That's a great point! For me, a big part of the value of minifigure parts is their potential to be reused in other characters. I'm glad to see the DnD characters specifically trying to maximize gender- and skin-tone-neutrality. (though Lego kind of already had skin-tone-neutrality from universal yellow skins.) I hope that these design principles are applied to minifigures in other themes!

The elf bard and dragonborn paladin are definitely my favorites.

Well, the character class minifigs go one step further. I know some of them, and perhaps all of them, give you two heads, one male and one female, so you can build them either gender right out of the box. Especially with the playable game in the big set, this is important, because you can’t predict the gender mix in a role playing group. Maybe in the 70’s, but certainly not today.

The blurb said

There is 1 surprise LEGO Dungeons & Dragons minifigure in each box ...and come in a sealed mystery box.

I misread that as meaning the large box but, having just re-read it, it must be meaning the individual little boxes and not the large box they come in.

I'm stupid and disappointed.....but c'est la vie

Thanks to all who replied
