Random heads for a Scottish Pub scene (or Castle Module), Add tourists and you've got a scottish Vacation, Add long orange hair (preferably with headband) and a scruffy-face head for a 90's Axel Rose from Guns 'n Roses, or place a bunch of sad figures and cops around for a police funeral!

I have duplicates of the Foxworthy, Aztec, Bunny, Bagpiper, Space Marine, Tennis Player, Viking, Boar Knight and RRH. Of the duplicates I have serious excesses of the Bagpiper, Space Marine, Aztec, Tennis Player and Foxworthy. Let me know where you're at - meaning if you even have an extra gold metalist and/or tarzan since those seem to be the ones I'm lacking. Of the new figures I just got I have to say I really like that they made a veil for the wedding themed character and she probably wins for "best lips" on a LEGO minifigure to date. The merman base is nice because it looks like I could reuse it with another preferred mer figure and I think the trident that comes with him is the best weapon I've seen pop up in any series so far. The rocker wins hands down as coolest hair piece for this series! That thing has so much potential. If I do buy another round I hope I score a second one just for that.

I like chess, but the figures alone are causing me to drool! I missed out on the LEGO chess sets from years back, but it is nice to see that the concept is back. Now if only they'd make a chess set with Medium Gray and Dark Stone Gray figures. They would serve as a nice game set OR as beautiful statues in a LEGO medievel garden!

I'll let you know where I stand for completion of the series and trade wise when I get them open. This is going quickly, but it's fun. For Series 2 I had to drive 50 miles in any direction to even get anywhere that sold them or hunt them online... so this really is a treat.

Didn't finish reading your comments. Didn't even look closely at the pictures on the LEGO site. DID buy instantly. Long before the minifigure series these chess boards were my thing. The only exception was the last one they put out a few year ago that was close to $300 and super sized...too ridiculous. The $50 range chess sets of which I have 3 others however are like crack to me. Can't wait for it to arrive! Far more awesome than any series...muahahha! Thank you for pointing it out and I have to encourage you to snatch one up as well if you haven't already placed an order. It's just a whole bunch of awesome to have these in front of you. Kind of confusing to play chess with, but freaking awesome. Didn’t even blink. Didn’t finish reading your comments. Didn’t even look closely at the pictures on the LEGO site. DID buy instantly.

However, being in my 30s and having the mentality of a crotchety senior citizen helps me to brush off such stares. Try going into the aisle and thinking to yourself "I don't care what the h-ll you think about me buying toys...now get off my lawn, you noisy buncha kids"! So the Computer guys mug means C: prompt? I thought it was a sideways smiley face! Seriously, I need to get more techno savvy! I'm sure we'll end up trading at some point, so keep that little guy handy. As for too many Stunt-Foxworthy's, maybe use them and the Lumberjack from a couple series back to create a redneck bar featuring Nascar or rodeo night! The clown can be used, too! With enough bagpipers, you can create your own Scottish pub, or a LEGO parade. always travel the LEGO aisles with a buddy: it helps to offset the glares and suspicious looks from employees and other shoppers!

I never got the POTC Whitecap bay with the newer style mer-people so I hope to get on that bandwagon through series 7. Anyway... Not only has my local Walmart shown promise for Series 7 but I went to Target last night and they also have the vertical hanging Series 7 display!!! Distribution seems to be a lot better this time. I've tried to get my adult guilt at buying LEGO under control by tricking the wife into going with me to Walmart to buy a few more packs which I had her randomly pick out, calling her my "lucky dice"... seems to be slightly diminishing the dirty looks a little by including her there. Whatever though. Right now I have 2 computer guys which for the record are very nerdy/nifty figures! The only problem? Windows C:/ prompt on the cup. I think Mac users and Linux guys like myself who use the BASH shell will be a little annoyed but otherwise... digging it. I don't NEED two though so if we end up having to trade you know the deal. Also now have the Aztec, Bunny (semi-creepy... depends what build it goes in though in my eyes), too many Foxworthys(that's what I'm calling them now, period), redundant bagpipers which I'm certainly not going to complain about. I suspect I'll be giving Walmart more business soon. You’ve got me jealous on the Neptune since I don’t have one and that looks like a very nifty figure.

They are: The Tennis Player. Another Boar knight (Yes!) And another Tarzan/Jungle Boy (I can use him for parts or for making a Gladiator trainee). I still need to obtain a couple more King Neptunes (for parts), more Boar Knights (trying to make a new faction for my Castle theme), a few more Red Riding Hoods (I have an idea that I'll share when I complete it), the Guitar Girl, Computer Guy, and the Hippie.

Haha, I love that idea! You will be proud of me. I went out today and eventually found myself in the local Toys R Us store. They had a box and a half of the new series 7 red packets. Using my magical fingers mojo, I was able to acurately feel for the following figures: Aztec Warrior (looks cool, so he may end up in my LEGO Museum construct) Tarzan/Jungle Boy with Chimp (I'm sure I can use him somewhere) 2x Boar Knight (love him!) Bagpiper (had trouble with the kilt, but he looks cool) Space Warrior (Looks awesome, but I don't know where I'll incorporate him) Red Riding Hood (AWESOME, but that's just my opinion) Bunny Suit Guy (A little too plain, and slightly creepy!) King Neptune (AWESOME! and that's not just my opinion!) Bride (Nice addition for Town, but had a bit of trouble with the veil assembly, which is a soft material that gets folded and pinned to her hair with the tiara) Viking Woman (I intend to make her part of my Castle setting, but I also had problems with her lower torso. Viking Lady and the Bride lower torsos are easily bumped off, since they are basically attached by a 2x2 to the upper torso. Otherwise, I like her. I had really hoped to find the Laptop Guy and the Guitar Girl, but I'm hopeful for the future! Stunt Rider is secretly Jeff Foxworthy! Haha, I love that idea!

Sure, I don't have anything that'll take the Aztec Warrior going over here otherwise but I like seeing something that stands out occassionally. I must have kept the Power Miner monsters on my desk for a year after they went out of style just because they were nifty and didn't fit well. That being said the Stunt Rider (you must be using the official titles) will probably fit into zero future builds and to me it is about as oddball as the wrestler that came out earlier. I just want to take the head and hair and slap it on a different body and create some sort of Jeff Foxworthy based build., hehe. I do get annoyed when they have figures like it though where you get the hair piece and a helmet and you have to choose. That means there will always be at least one loose part in play. I guess I shouldn't complain about more parts though, that is not the way of the AFOL. p.s. Remember my castle top tennis court build? Just snag a green round like I did for a ball. It is silly that they didn't include one though. What I’m most fond of for the sake of all the minifigures is the diversity.
