It seems that LEGO’s latest CMF series gained some traction when the official character names and images of Series 17 were released yesterday. This time around, Brickset managed to have their copy of this latest CMF series ahead of its May 1 release. They were kind enough to share how the minifigs are distributed in the box, together with the series’ corresponding checklist. Take a look.
5 in the box:
- {Mystery figure}
- Corn Cob Guy
- Circus Strong Man
4 in the box:
- Roman Gladiator
- Connoisseur
- Retro Spaceman
- Yuppie
- Hot Dog Man
- Battle Dwarf
3 in the box:
- Professional Surfer
- Gourmet Chef
- Veterinarian
- Butterfly Girl
- Rocket Boy
- Dance Instructor
- Elf Girl
Though Huw of Brickset made it clear that he is still not permitted to show the details of Series 17’s Mystery Figure which is rumored to be the French Highway Man, it is interesting to note that he confirmed that there are 5 of this mysterious character in the box. This suggests that the distribution of this Mystery Figure is far different from how Mr. Gold was given out in LEGO CMF Series 10 (71001). The secrecy behind this rumored French Highway Man only leads to further questions on the real story behind this mysterious minifig character. For sure LEGO has good reasons for keeping this a secret until now, and they’re doing a pretty good job of doing so.
So what do you think brick fans? What is the real deal behind this mystery figure? What does LEGO have under its sleeve, ready to surprise us? Share your comments below or visit our Facebook page to join the discussions.
