71013 - Minifigures - Series 16

[Alpinemaps]

Anyone hit TRU yet today to see if they are out?

[fossilrock]

If these are hitting the market already, maybe the Disney figures are done.

[Voltron]

I tried searching for series 15 and disney minifigures on UK lego online and cannot find them, is it just me?

Disney is coming back in the fall. This is out early to make room for Disney to come back with the castle...

Sooner than fall.  Now in fact. Never listen to LEGO

Box of these on the shelves at the OKC LEGO store.  About 1/3 gone.

[kris_1973]

Starting to become more available...

[Elkkthunder]

Not in your area

[Alpinemaps]

Found them at TRU today.

Maryland LEGO stores are limiting to 16.  Arundle mills has about a case (on the floor) left.

Woo hoo found some. Lego store Hawaii. Which I can't believe because we always get things last over here. They had a bunch. 

[Salimr]

My toys r us had a case and the whole case was purchased by a guy 15 min before me. I asked about the limit they usually put on such items when they told me that and they said they broke their rule as he said they were for a local hospital  10 min later they were on eBay and he text me as I know who it is, if I wanted to buy any.

guess that may have belonged in ethics thread. I just can't believe people use the hospital story and toys r us believes them.

So next time you're buying them for the local animal shelter - perhaps they'll throw in some freebies ...

Hats off to all of you with the "smooshing" skills. I grabbed 3 random ones from my local LEGO store the other day to take home to work on honing my skills (I've always given up trying to correctly guess in store in the past) and came up 0 for 3 on my guesses. Still, ended up with the Rogue to keep and easily offloaded the other 2 on eBay for profit - wish I'd picked up more. How long does it usually take for the 'official' catalog listings to make it to Bricklink?

Found a rifled through box at my TRU yesterday and found this series to be very easy to smoosh.  Got 9/16 so far and lucked into a Banana Guy, but for the most part just had commons left.  Guy at TRU didn't think he was getting more Disney figures, we'll see if they become available again this fall since this series came out about 6 weeks early as he said street date was stamped on box as September 1.

[psusyntar]

Found in Langhorne, PA TRU yesterday.  Seemed like new case plus others from a previous case (saw it empty behind the counter).  Smooshed an entire set for my personal collection.

Smooshing can be an acquired skill.  For me, I do a couple of things - I like to have the box in front of me to look at the art, I like to have the "poster" and I like to have a minifigure feel guide.  Sometimes, I just have this stuff on my phone to look at.   That's usually plenty to make sure I can get everyone.

[CM4Sci]

Smooshing? That's a term? 
 

Got a whole box on Monday, grabbed 2 sets and the rest went away. Pretty easy to distinguish this time around! I love this series. Glad I don't have to worry about them in a month or so.

time to invest some costumes

I've been buying 11 at a time. Finally can smoosh a few accurately. My main method is finding pieces I know and thus eliminating the others. Easiest for me is finding the legs. They have 2 prongs on top and can move. If I can't find legs. Then I know it's only 1 of 3 options. Now I can find the stubby legs well too.
