I can't seem to find any form of Lego Collectable Thread for minifigures. So I thought I would start one.
As most people know, Lego has released The Simpsons house recently to which I have only heard good things.
They have decided to release a Series-S in their minifigure line which will consist of 16 Simpsons minifigures.
Two images were released thus far:

Characters in this series:
Homer Simpson
Ned Flanders
Marge Simpson
Bart Simpson
Lisa Simpson
Maggie Simpson
Grampa
Ralph Wiggum
Nelson Muntz
Apu
Chief Wiggum
Krusty the Clown
Itchy
Scratchy
Mr. Burns
Milhouse

I will make sure to pick these up asap as they will be popular among collectors. I will post photos of my minifigure collection hopefully by tonight.
Hope to see some minifigure collectors in the forum :)
 
Looking forward to seeing your pics! Cool thread idea.

I have a couple of these minifigs from previous series. I might post some pics of them.
 
Interesting. Are these those individual packs with the random figure inside? If so, I bought my kids some of those from The Lego Movie. Unfortunately, they got some doubles because you couldn't see what figures you were grabbing.
 
Yeah, it's a pain when your kid is harrassing you because he wants that one "special" minfigure.
I believe there was one series (could have been five) where each figure had it's own barcode.
So, the eagle eyed could tell which one was inside.

That sure would be a help to these "blind" bags, but I guess that's half the fun.

Basically you have to feel through the pack and recognise specific pieces that is part of that character. Its tricky at first, but it gets easier.
Here is a guide to feeling throught The Movie series: https://thebrickblogger.com/2014/01/guide-to-feeling-for-the-lego-movie-minifigs/
 
I bought an Abraham Lincoln, less because he was a LEGO minifigure, more because he's Abraham Lincoln. :lol

Though I'll pick up some of Simpsons for sure.
 
I'm getting all those Simpsons figures. First time I'll pick up a full wave of these. Not going to be fun getting them all, but at least with the heads being unique you can more easily feel which is which.
 
I want them all! I hope there's another series, as I'd really like for them to make characters such as Principal Skinner, Reverend Lovejoy, Edna Krabappel, etc.
 
I don't think we'll be seeing Krabappel anytime soon. Once an actor has died its really, really rare for them to bring out merch for the character. We were lucky to get Hutz and McClure in WoS. Now that Wallace is gone and Krabappel has been retired, I think she'll be off limits.
 
Here is my collection thus far. Sorry for the photo quality, but took them with my phone camera:

Nah, I doubt that. Like you said, they made action figures of actor Phil Hartman's characters, such as Troy McClure and Lionel Hutz, well after he was murdered. I wouldn't be surprised if Edna appears in the line, especially if she's already planned/prototyped.
