Alpinemaps Posted December 22, 2016 Author Share Posted December 22, 2016 You guys make me laugh. At this point, I love standing there smooshing. It's fun. You meet some interesting people. A grandma (woman in her late 60s) and her 5 year old grandson were smooshing Series 16. She was an expert, telling me what to look for on Series 16. In all seriousness, this series is really easy to smoosh, even without the magic basket. There are some easily recognizable parts that you can figure out quickly. Sometimes, they're unique. Other times, they're unique to just one or to figs (like the 2x2 tile), but then there are unique pieces to help figure it out. I can share my feel guide, if you guys want. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use it to sort through the most obvious ones and only smoosh the ones that are similar in weight. Everything up to about 100 micrograms difference can be done with just a scale. Though it's still a lot of (boring) work. Gotta get a full box at a decent discount over RRP to make it worth it. I just roll in my CT-scanner .... I get some funny looks but the smooshing is a breeze. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I want to order a case of batman cmf's from you but if you're local I'd love to just pick it up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lazuli16 Posted December 30, 2016 Share Posted December 30, 2016 Just now, tunnelvision said: It only holds 16, facepalm.gif It's a two pack. They sell them individually at 8 minifigures per pack. I figure there are plenty of ther minifigures in the sets to take up the rest of the spaces. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CM4Sci Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 Ha! Went to TRU today and they had 2 boxes so I felt out 20 packs and got a whole set! They had everything, everything for 2017! I got them to price match me too, so I saved $20. 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CM4Sci Posted January 3, 2017 Share Posted January 3, 2017 Also people keep saying Vacation Batman can hold the slippers - no he can't? Unless I'm doing it wrong. Not possible. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
