afol_sf Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 …visited (3) Target stores in my area early this morning… first store has them but will only sell me 15, no more-no less… take it or leave it… second store was sold out… and the third store was the interesting one: The store shows 300 polybags but can't sell any until May 1st as their system says so… when I said that the other two stores I went to earlier were already selling it, I was told that each Target store has different dates on their system as to when a product is brought out to the floor… huh!?… I showed my frustration, but thank them anyways… …it's not the end of the world and this is not an exclusive, so I recon I'll get the other 8 minifigs I missed on this batch next time… got 5 dups out of 15… oh, well… good luck to you all on the hunt...

pete411 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I'll wait until TRU does a 2 for $5 deal. These will be everywhere soon enough and the flip window is quickly closing on these. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sfcommando14 Posted April 17, 2016 Share Posted April 17, 2016 I'm waiting for indigo. I won't see any at the TRU around me. Too much of that annoying affluence. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

afol_sf Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 ...Yesterday morning, went back to the Target store that was "sold out" last Saturday when I inquired... the nice lady I asked went to the stock room and came out with (2) boxes!... there was a note on both that says, "do not display before May 1"... took one box, opened it and got the minifigs I'm missing... left the box at the Lego aisle... not sure what happened to the 2nd box (maybe the lady brought it back to the stock room...

randrace Posted April 18, 2016 Share Posted April 18, 2016 I bought 26 of these today for $3.39 at Target. Still didn't get that Cheshire Cat. To you smooshers, watch you don't mistake Toy Story Alien for Cheshire Cat, as I did. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ichiroll Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 Maybe I'm just a hater cuz I can't do it myself but, isn't smooshing ethically a little questionable? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robertx Posted April 19, 2016 Share Posted April 19, 2016 I feel the same. They are packaged so hopefully you just get a random figure. Not just cherry pick just the ones you want. Obviously they need to do a better job or else just keep them behind the counter. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At my Lego store the employees will smoosh any figure you want, free of charge. If they are fine with it, then so am I. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it's Lego's fault for not making it really "blind" in my opinion it's different than clearing the shelves of all stock because that customer who comes after you isn't paying the same $$ to get a figure they don't have. technically people who smoosh and get the ones they want are guaranteeing that 10 hours ago, Robertx said: I feel the same.

It's Lego's fault for making smooshing possible. I don't really blame the people who do it. Just saying I don't and wouldn't do it. 9 hours ago, Lordoflego said: So people suppose to be buying and buying till They somehow get lucky and finally collect a complete set?

There are other kids and adults who want to smoosh those packs too this is true too. i've seen like 3 adults smooshing some packs to no end one time. i just think it reflects very poorly on the Lego enthusiast community. 9 hours ago, lazuli16 said: At my Lego store the employees will smoosh any figure you want, free of charge. If they are fine with it, then so am I. i've never really been into mini figures so I don't know the discrepancy in price but, what if it's like a $50 figure and the rest are a $1. you're saying they will smoosh through everything they have and give you the $50 one? sounds idiotic from Lego's standpoint.
