Collectable Minifigures Series 18
Posted by CapnRex101,
Zusammengebaut has sent us this image of the box for the eighteenth series of Collectable Minifigures. This gives a better look at the seventeen minifigures in this series than we have seen before.
In addition, BZPower is reporting that there will only be one Classic Police Officer in each box so confirms rumours that there would be a chase figure. Thankfully, it should be relatively easy to find on this occasion, much more so than was the case for Mr Gold in Series 10!
LEGO has also posted official images of each minifigure on Instagram.
You will find a larger image of the box after the break...
Which minifigures appeal to you the most? Let us know in the comments.

This series has some ok minifigures but I can't get to excited about it.
Nice, another reason to keep a whole box :)
This is a strong series, but I'm going to need to save up for the Harry Potter CMF series coming after it. However, definitely gonna have to pick up multiples of that Dragon guy, the D&D nerd in me demands to make some dragonborn and kobalds.
Possibly the least interesting Minifigure series to date.
Marmite, I say...
Can't say I'm thrilled by the selection sadly. I do love the cactus and the cowboy though. Other than that it's one I'll be grateful to pass on
i love them all!!!!!! can't wait till they come out in April!
Easy pass. Maybe I will get the cat and the spider guy. But that settles it.
Boring, and again, why the hell are all but one wearing costumes? What does that have to do with the 40 year aniversary of the minifig?
Fireworks guy, cactus girl and dragon boy are must haves!
The first image I saw was the cop. I got excited thinking they were gonna do 60 years of past Minifigures, pirates, knights, space, western, etc! I was wrong it's a whole line of costumes. Kinda lame in my opinion. Oh well ??
Looks nice. I'll pick some of these up.
Love these! I can't wait to pick them up.
Nice series, I wish that the price will be back to "normal" again, as it used to be a few years ago (the latest series, such as Ninjago or series 17, were almost twice the price of the first ones). I can understand that some of the series were more expensive for an obvious reason: licensing, but for a traditional Lego series, how can they justify the same high price as these special series? This is the reason why I stopped bying whole boxes a long time ago...
where do people buy a box of this? just in general
I'd rather have this series over a Batman movie one. The race car guy, clown with his balloon animal, and dragon catch my eye.
Dragonguy all the way.
Does the 2x3 brick costume have anti-studs on the backsides to connect pieces on the back?
I would like the Blue Unicorn and Dragon Guy minifigures and also those two in LEGO Brick suit ether. Also the Race Car Guy is the return of Rocket Racer from LEGO Racers.
And the Classic Policeman minifig is NOT an ultra rare minifigure like Mr. Gold. And he is not a chase minifigure that people went crazy for each bag. Look at this article: https://www.thebrickfan.com/lego-collectible-minifigures-series-18-first-look/
He's present physically in the NY Toy Fair unlike Mr. Gold which means he might be easy to get just like the Highwayman/Mystery Figure in Series 17.
I also like the Cowboy Guy without a horse. It means, the horse head is on his neck and the tail on his back.
If there really is only one policeman minifigure in one box I'm going to properly kick off if I hear people have been buying whole boxes from my local stores - the thrill is in the hunt! And buying only the ones you need means secondary prices aren't artificially inflated because people with whole boxes need to sell off all their spare figs but want to recoup their investment.
I really like the minifigure series though - there's no real reason *why* almost all the minifigs need to be wearing costumes but it's very fun all the same!
The Ninjago and second gen Batman movie minifigs were pretty much write-offs, as collections. I think I'm just over the whole collectable minifig thing. I'd just rather have my money than another bunch of lucky-dip figures.
@thebugg As a CMF collector, I also think that this series is better than The Batman Movie 2 or the Ninjago Movie.
@legomanijak I'd also prefer a series with classic and iconic minifigures, but we know what Lego does. At least, as they are celebrating their 40th anniversary, they have organized a great party!!
LET'S ENJOY THE PARTY WITH THE MINIFIGURES!!!
the policeman is the least exciting, so that's good there's only one per box. imagine the disappoitment, a kid buys a bag hoping to get a cool costume guy and gets the policeman instead.
legomanijak, and everyone else, how about looking things up before making fun of the series?
The reason the cop is there is because he's a redo of the very first minifigure from 40 years ago.
I don't collect mini figures - but these are absolutely fantastic. I adore the clown, the dragon guy, the flower girl, spider guy cracks me up, cat, rocket, racecar etc. These are just great.
@Fauch Are CMFs really for kids? There are tons of things from past series that kids would have no idea what they even were, like the yuppie. I understand that people discover LEGO at different times and like different things, but to crap on the things that made LEGO what it is (in an anniversary series no less) makes me wonder why you like LEGO in the first place. What you like wouldn't be available without the policeman preceding it.
What’s Marmite?
@blogzilly and SpartanGhost. Marmite is like Vegemite. Black salty yeast based spread
The classic policeman has printed details right?
Ahhhh....now me am understand. :D
Yes! A full series of costume minifigures. FINALLY.
