My TRU will only let you buy 5 packs..Stating and I quote "reseller scum have been coming in and buying whole unopened cases so we put a stop to that".  okay I may have tweaked her quote a bit. But that is what I heard.

In this situation I like to play the pathetic nerd that still lives in their mothers basement then they may give in. If that fails plan B

These look like they have disappeared from the Australian and European stores. Hopefully short term only. 

I don't think so. It looks like the 71012 Disney Minifigures series-1 is Retired, just like the 71014 DFB The Mannschaft set.

US SAH says to check back in late fall.  Unless that is a ruse pointing towards Series 16, there will probably be another round of availability later this year.  Those who don't recognize that will see scarcity this summer and prices might spike.  Just my $0.02...

In the (Dutch) LEGO Catalogue for July - December 2016 there's a mention at the Disney Minifigures page about a Series-2 coming out in September:

So that mention about "check back in late fall" for the 71012 series sounds rubbish when at that time a series-2 is coming out!

This makes no sense to me since they're to release Series 16 in September. Now, you're saying they're releasing Disney series 2 at the same time...

I could see a series 2 in January, after series 16 has come and gone.  With how popular these are, why not?

I don't even think there has been an announcement yet on what comes after series 16, right?  Usually, we know a bit about that series about 6 months before hand, so it's about time the leaks to the January 2017 wave is at least hinted at.  Maybe this is the first "hint"..

For once I am going to let the mass panic and hysteria spread :drag:

Just to put more kerosene to the fire :devil: Per Google, the part that @Haay circled is translated to:

 "There is a new series in September ! it is exciting" ("Er komt een nieuwe serie uit in september! dat wordt spannend")

Ohh.. that just means a new minifigure series, which is series 16.  It doesnt say "there will be a new disney minifigures series 2".

Crisis adverted!

Reading comments here makes me realise that LEGO could also mean that a generic new series of Minifigures comes out in September. I interpreted it as a new series of Disney minifigs coming out in September, capitalising on the success of their 'first' series of Disney minifigs.

I think lego will flood the market with series 1 soon.  No need to fear about series 2.
On the contrary, I'm afraid Lego might strike a deal with Disney to sell them at their parks........Indefinitely 

 I doubt they sell them indefinitely at Disney.  These have been stated as limited edition many times now. 

But I have no doubts, the lego factories are currently churning out tens of thousands of new cases of these, and they will be back.  I think demand just outstripped supply, kind of like last years JW.
