71008 - Minifigures - Series 13

[Cross]

Number thirteen looks like he should be a Simpsons mini-fig...

 

Disco-Stu!

 

Number fifteen should include a pamphlet explaining what the hell this mini-fig is. I know some Mythology and can't think of a female-cyclopse appearing in any of them, but hurray for diversity.

 

Number ten looks like a Satan-worshiper. Though a niche-market, I see the appeal post-EOL. If Marilyn Manson tours through your city, set up a table outside the venue and count on optimal returns.

 

Number four is sexy. A chick with two swords?! Awesome with a capital A.

 

Number sixteen appears to have more fire-power than he can handle... I presume his target is right in front of him, but holding four guns is more than is reasonably manageable. I fear the folks he is protecting will be wiped out as a result of his ineffectiveness and poor aim. He may need more training.

 

Numbers three and fourteen are stand-outs. Like the guy in the pig-suit from Series 12. Just fun, unique, and cool. The Hot Dog guy looks like Timberlake from the SNL "Bring it on In to Omeletville" sketches. Good stuff.

 

Number one makes me miss the years of quality Castle and Kingdoms sets. As much as I appreciate the LOTR sets... I miss the old-school action of Lego castle systems. Here's to hoping they return soon.

 

Number four may be accused of racial profiling. Not sure on this one.

 

Number eight is long over-due! Awesome Egyptian warrior.

 

Loving number six... she would fit right in with the Research Institute. Well-played, TLG.

[Alcarin]

Man o man that Wizard, King and Egyptian warrior..... AWESOME!

 

Samurai warrior girl also looks cool, love her armor and colors!

[Cross]

Agreed. Wish they would accelerate the rate of Series releases... they are all unique in their own ways.

[IMDeus]

So these are popping up at targets. Anyone in MA find them yet?

A lot of good figures, but the Hot Dog Guy and Unicorn Girl are at the top of the list. 

 

 

Hot Dog for sure.

I also diggin the Ron Jeremy Disco guy.

I was trying to find some also. Have they been released yet in local stores?

[supergman]

Uh oh.  Who has a upc code, anyone?

[IMDeus]

The target Id is the same as series 12

I was wondering if anyone determined a reliable way to sort out the 16 unique figured in this set.

Thanks

[BuckeyeFanDan]

The most reliable way is to feel for the unique piece or pieces for each character.  Study the pictures and determine what is easiest to feel for.  For some characters you may have to feel for two different pieces in order to be sure.  I have been using this method since I started collecting these in series 7 and have a 100% accuracy rate getting the characters I want.  It takes a little practice, but if you have some time when you are at the store, you can be sure to get what you want.

 

For example, in series 13, the evil wizard is the only character with a dress slope (the bottom part).  This piece is quite easy to determine when feeling the package.  Once you feel that piece, you know you will get the wizard.

Could you tell me the unique parts in each. I bought a bunch yesterday and couldn't find the snake guy and the hot dog guy.

Very useful link for each of the parts, thanks for posting.

Anyone know where to just buy a sealed box of these things?  

As for feeling the bags, like already mentioned, find the unique piece to each and isolate that into a corner of the bag....works great for me, just takes some patience.

[Alpinemaps]

When I'm actually smooshing, I like to look at the picture on the box.  That way, I can feel a piece, and then I've got a visual guide to go along with my imagination.  I'm usually 100% accurate when I do that.

[Huskers1236]

Merged with existing S13 thread.

[Mos_Eisley]

Has anyone input one of the codes from these yet? Just hoping there isn't a Mr. Gold type prize in the collect and win contest.

[Black_towr]

I bought 10 packs at my local target the other day. So these are starting to show up.

The main guy that sells CMF on eBay will be taking pre-orders any day now but his will not be available 'til end of Jan. Also will be in the $200 range, so no huge savings for waiting. If you only want one or two boxes, might be best just to wait for them to pop-up on eBay but at least a pre-order from a reputable seller will lock in your price if the price happens to rise quickly.

[stackables]

I picked up 18 of these randomly.  I think I am actually still going to buy a case of these when they pop up on ebay.  Hopefully the starting price will come out to less than $4 a pack.

[areyounormal]

This looks like the ebay listing for the guy who sells them. Kinda bummed the price went from 200 to 230 but maybe that has happened before?

[stackables]

saw that too. Not much of a discount. Might not get a case now.

[toni8284]

The price on Series 13 is hard to make money. Series 12, I was able to get them at $2.99 each. Not the case anymore.

 

Buy in Price = $4.24 (6% tax here)

 

Sell on eBay = $7.99 (the cheapest one) w/ FREE Shipping 

 

After fee I only make $0.50 each.

[GhostDad]

Well... I would not expect to make money until the series retires, but for a CMF that's usually just a few months after release.  I am however very doubtful about the new $4 retail price per figure, so I would not expect to make very much unless you can get the case for $180 or less (maybe on bricklink this is possible).  I really don't understand Lego pricing.  The company does nothing about counterfeits, but doubles their own price per figure from series 1 to 12 (just a few years).  Going forward, you can count on all CMF series being counterfeited.  The Simpsons and Lego Movie figs are being massively copied and sold for $1 per figure on eBay.
