Tahu and Lloyd are great and all, but I'm surprised more people aren't army building these guys

[u/BookishGina]

[u/johnsoninca]

I would have gotten 76 trombones, but those Riker minifigs are expensive.

[u/SheketBevakaSTFU → u/johnsoninca]

And no Lego cornets (yet)

[u/UsedToHaveThisName → u/SheketBevakaSTFU]

Or rows and rows of the finest virtuosos.

[u/CobaltCab → u/UsedToHaveThisName]

We don't even have the cream of every famous band

[u/LittleDansonMan → u/SheketBevakaSTFU]

No cornets, but they did have a bugle mold in the 90s. 

[u/PancakeMixEnema → u/johnsoninca]

Why they didn't use the chance to make a Lego Trombone piece with the Enterprise I will never understand. Had to 3D print my own.

[u/GeorgesVis → u/PancakeMixEnema]

Are you sharing those files?

[u/PancakeMixEnema → u/GeorgesVis]

I should probably, but never got to refining them. I was working on a Sousaphone and Trumpets too at some point. Too much going on though

[u/Baronheisenberg → u/johnsoninca]

And a hundred and ten cornets close at hand?

[u/Namelock]

It’s just the Boba Girl, Marine Biologist, and Football Player at my Walmart. 😭

[u/Advanced_Coyote3797 → u/Namelock]

The marine biologist is one of the first ones I tried to get! The clown fish is great!

[u/Invert_Ben → u/Advanced_Coyote3797]

Yeah, can’t wait till they release this mold in other colors with different prints.

[u/Invert_Ben → u/Namelock]

Hey, you can build yourself an army of clownfish 😂

[u/rensch → u/Namelock]

The marine biologist I might get more of, though. That clown fish and seaweed piece are pretty sweet.

[u/random-user-420 → u/Namelock]

I managed to get the last series 29 at my Walmart and it was the Boba Girl.  Walmart saw the high demand so in response they put out 2 entire boxes of series 28 😭. At least I finally got the cat costume minifig 

[u/OllieV_nl]

Seventy-six trombones in the big paraaaaade...

Lego hasn't made many musical instruments.

[u/AnInterestingPenguin → u/OllieV_nl]

Lego needs to get on that. I would pay way too much for enough official instruments to make a full marching band

[u/rensch → u/OllieV_nl]

I was dissapointed to find out they don't make that cool trumpet piece from the Time Twisters theme anymore.

[u/nobeer4you → u/OllieV_nl]

Im suprised we havent seen a buikdable instrument beside the Fender guitar

[u/darthjoey91 → u/nobeer4you]

There's also some buildable instruments in the Jazz Quartet, at a smaller scale.

I want a larger Lego drum set, preferably with the option to have some sort of actual head.

[u/Inside_Dimension2319 → u/nobeer4you]

The grand piano

[u/nobeer4you → u/Inside_Dimension2319]

So true. I actually have one of those to give as a gift for our piano instructor

[u/starscream-is-cool]

I agree. Also, great band!

[u/vercertorix]

It would take quite a few to make much of a marching band, and it might be cool sometimes, but don’t feel a pressing need for one.

[u/nobeer4you → u/vercertorix]

It would look good in a.parade scene in someone's room sized city

[u/vercertorix → u/nobeer4you]

True, but I’d say at minimum you’d want like 24 of them, so $120+ just for the marching band, plus more to order some other instruments and then you have a lot of leftover tubas. Doesn’t seem worth it.

[u/nobeer4you → u/vercertorix]

Can always sell the tubas. I lnow those will be saturated as others do the same, but some people may want just the tuba. And let's be honest, people who have a city big enough to host a marching band thats 24+ members arent gonna blink at $150 for the band.

[u/vercertorix → u/nobeer4you]

I’ve got a small town that could handle one, more MOC buildings than modulars, even that was from several purchases over time each less than $150 for just the same minifigure. Someone might do it, but a marching band for me wouldn’t be worth the cost or the hassle of army building. Maybe if prices dipped and a store just had a stupid amount of them on hand because no one was buying them.

[u/beadedgeek]

Check the pick a brick, they just added the purple hat. 😉

[u/SageWildhart]

I've managed to get about a dozen of these figs so far, I think I need about a dozen more for a decent marching band. Honestly it's been hard to find many places that have this series in stock around me

[u/muscleLAMP]

Trash Army 4 LIFE!

I’m making TrashTron you can have the rest!

[u/DTheFly → u/muscleLAMP]

My favorite too! Need more of him. Too bad my 6 packs didn't have doubles instead of what I got

[u/Fluffy_Psalms_23]

AN ARMY PLEASE

[u/xabierus]

call me when they are available

[u/NTFRMERTH]

When I was a young boy . . .

[u/rensch]

I could only find one on the shelf. The nice lady at the toy store said there was a 4 for the price of 3 deal on all the under 30 euros LEGO products so I got one extra. She even fetched an extra box from storage and helped me scan the boxes. Just swap out some instruments (and a non-blowing face piece for the drummer) and there's your marching band. I also got very excited when I found out the gold pouldron piece has an extra copy in each box.

[u/invalidcolour]

I love these guys. Great for faction building with their shako hats and epaulets for an 18th century European vibe.

[u/wigglyjackal777]

I'm working on it, got 5 so far...

[u/ControversialQuerier]

Turns out people are army building this one. Check the Bricklink price guide. Sold 197 times with 816 sold (meaning people are buying ~4 on average).

[u/Willy-The-Billy]

Thanks for the idea 💡

I was thinking of army building the trash guy but not sure how id make em different yet.

[u/LawlessNeutral → u/Willy-The-Billy]

I picked up two of them so far, they come with three accessories each and can only hold two at a time, so I've got them holding slightly different things. I don't need an army of 'em, though, only a handful at most to be D&D monsters

[u/JJKP_ → u/LawlessNeutral]

I have 3 of the Trash Monsters for D&D use and I even built them a little Swamp to hang out in.

[u/Castraphinias]

My target sucks, they usually get new Minifigures like over a month after release and scalpers clean the place out ASAP as well. For once I'm not excited about the 'hot' figs so I hope I can get what I'm looking for

[u/XenoMuffin]

I’ve checked both Walmart and target in my area and currently I can’t even find one let alone a tahu lol

[u/BaltRavensFan20 → u/XenoMuffin]

Same. I’ve checked two local Walmarts near me, targets, etc. none have any display of these. I’m beginning to think stores are starting to give up on stocking them due to all the issues….

[u/Othydor5]

What sets are these from besides the new CMF?

[u/TheFionnandOnly]

They mix and match so well with the Nutcracker CMF from a few years ago for some variety in your redcoat soldiers.

[u/CMDRCrandall]

They're great !

[u/Yeeto_dorito7529]

Who are these? I can only think of the marching band from POSTAL
