LEGO D&D CMFs leave fans wanting more, more, more
Now that LEGO Collectible Minifigures 71047 Dungeons & Dragons are now out in the wild – so what do fans think of the most recent series of characters?
You can now find the 12 unique characters of 71047 Dungeons & Dragons in the brick in stores around the world, putting Brick Search through its paces scanning the matrix codes to see what’s inside. You can scan your way to the minifigures you want within seconds, and many people are already putting the free app to good use.
Once the goods are secure, however, what do people think of 71047 Dungeons & Dragons? Read on for a deep dive into people’s initial reactions from around the world.
Big crowds at LEGO stores suggests success
Reports from those heading out to LEGO stores and third-party retailers on September 1 highlighted that the launch of 71047 Dungeons & Dragons attracted huge crowds. With people queuing and competing with one another to get their hands on the characters they want, prepare yourself for an epic quest to get your hands on what you’re looking for.
It’s the same story over on reddit, with one person commenting on a discussion post about 71047 Dungeons & Dragons: “I went to the shop to get a couple this morning – all gone two minutes after opening, whole tray bought by the same person.” While that’s good news for that person, it’s more evidence that you should get out to stores as soon as you can to snap up the minifigures.
It’s likely that stores will have enough to restock a few times but 71047 Dungeons & Dragons is proving to be very popular, so it’s not a series to wait on, especially if you’re wanting a full set or multiples of the same character. The longer you wait, the more likely it is that stock near you will disappear.
The versatility of the characters is impressing many
Those who have managed to get their hands on minifigures post-queueing are impressed with what they’ve found. In particular, the level of detail that’s gone into capturing the spirit of D&D is making an impression. D&D is all about making stories your own, fine-tuning your character to suit you and your tale. The masculine and feminine heads allow people to make these minifigures their own in the same way and add extra versatility to what are already incredibly versatile minifigures.
Each character has its own unique accessories but you can easily mix and match to create your own. Prefer your Tiefling Sorcerer to be a bard? No problem, simply add the Elf Bard’s instrument and you’re ready to go. The possibilities are (almost) endless.
More, more, more
With reactions being overwhelmingly positive, it’s perhaps no surprise what most people’s conclusions are: more Dungeons and Dragons. We’ve had a LEGO Collectible Minifigures series and the enormous (and admittedly expensive) LEGO Ideas 21348 Dungeons & Dragons: Red Dragon’s Tale, but there’s still plenty of room for more.
The mid-range of sets, both in terms of size and price, is wide open for more sets. We’re thinking customisable tabletop models for D&D campaigns, battle packs to expand on the LEGO Ideas set, and a whole lot more.
After all, 71047 Dungeons & Dragons has been described as ‘the next step‘ in the LEGO Group’s partnership with Wizards of the Coast, suggesting there could be more to come. Here’s hoping!
