But my local Lego store also got another shipment Wednesday. So it makes sense that they'd ship more to Disney, but who knows. I was thinking more of inside the parks, though. Quote
Black_towr Posted May 15, 2016 Posted May 15, 2016 I was at Disneyland last week and I couldn't find any in either park. Also nada at Lego store or Disney store. 1 Quote
Stud-Flipper Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) Was at Toys R Us today. They had 10 out on the shelf, but they were each in a clear, plastic security case, like they use for video games and such. They also had part of a case behind the register that they let me buy as well. I felt a little bad as no-joke, the cashier lady actually told me something to the tune of this; "Y'all need to quit buying all of these. Save some for the kids. Comin' in here buyin' them and selling them on Ebay, I know what you're doing. You too old to come here and buy them for yourself." It was awkward. Made me feel dirty.

Stud-Flipper Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 There was probably about 20 left in the case, but at that point, and with 10 already in my arms, I couldn't bring myself to ask for all of them. And so got half. Quote

You should get her name and complain with corporate. None of her business what you buy or do with them tbh. Or complain to higher management. 7 Quote

Stud-Flipper Posted May 16, 2016 Posted May 16, 2016 (edited) But anyways, is it normal for them to be in those plastic security cases? I would've smooshed but I couldn't. Seemed kinda silly, as they had all the promo bags and mixels loose, and they're about the same price point and size. Edited May 16, 2016 by Stud-Flipper Quote

No, I meant the mixels and promo's were in their bags, but the disney minifigs were each individually locked inside of a plastic security case, like stores often have movies, and electronics and things in.

Just doesn't make much sense to me as there's plenty of other small collectibles/toys/trading cards that are about the same size and could easily be stolen, that don't get the extra layer of security.

Some stores I'd assume have alarms at the doors that go off if a bar code that hasn't been scanned through the system passes through it. Or I'd assume. If not, it's definitely some technology to invest in. Quote

donbee Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 I live in FL I still see these everywhere. I go to TRU and buy 9 everyday I can, 4-5 times a week, So I can get the 5 off 30 and gwp and use those 15% off GCs. I used to buy more each day, but a manager told me he would not accept my coupons anymore, they're suppose to be one time use. Quote
thlien Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 My box from minifigures plus was sealed. 3 full sets + mickey, Mr incredible, syndrome, alien, genie, stitch. Thanks minifigures + 1 Quote
buidee Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 They are orderable from Lego.com again. Limit 18 per order. Quote
Kenxxx Posted May 17, 2016 Posted May 17, 2016 Just a tip for those who came late to the game (like me) and are "noob smooshers", I find there's nothing more helpful than good quality images of what's in each pack. I'm sure this link has been posted some pages back... the best images of each figure and individual accessories can be found here: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=130902 1 Quote
