Sorry, I had to remove the image - it's a polybag, not part of the minifigure series   But, more importantly, it's a leaked photo.

Damn! A double negative!

LOL

After further review, I'll remove the second negative - since it's been spotted in the wild, it's fair game.

However, it's still a polybag, not part of this minifigure series.

Upon opening all the bags, I can conclude there are three complete sets per full box of 60 so there are no minifigures that are more rare than others. There are three characters in each unopened box which I believe is a first for the Collectible Minifigures Series.

Just grabbed 26 of these at my Target. If you get them in increments of 26, you can use the 25/100 coupon to knock almost a buck off each one! Just do multiple purchases.

Have these moved into the east coast yet?

If that holds, it's a nice change.  Lego's been all over the map with CMF distributions.  Most annoying was Series 4 (I think), which had at least three of every minifig except for one.  Lego's way of sticking up the middle finger at resellers who deal in complete sets.

On series 16 I remember finding banana guys together in the case. Wonder if the same will hold true for the packing of the batman cmf.

Yes, in NY

Went to two local targets here for some holiday shopping.  Each have the boxes in the back that state 1/1/17 and will not release them.  It's amazing to me how inconsistent these places are with product.

anyone that bought it from Target, would you mind share the UPC code?

How do you find a Target that has these in stock?

Most targets should have them at this point.....now finding one that has them out for sale or a toy manager you can sweet talk into getting them from the back for you is another matter.

Absolutely.  A lot of the people stocking are seasonal, and they have no idea what's going on, and what's in back.  When you ask them, they just are clueless.

Had a big time fail at one target in NY... they said they had a full box in back but it was a series 16 grrrr

[Jman444]

What is the best way to get them to check the back room and bring them out?  I'm assuming regular employees won't do this and supervisors probably know they aren't supposed to sell them yet.

Find an employee that stocks the toy section and ask them politely to look for them in the back with the DPCI number. Let them know that they will have to open the outer box and check the Batman Movie packaging since it's a shared DPCI code.

Helps to show a picture cause I did that with Disney and they immediately found it.

 

 

Also, none of the 3 Targets near me seem to have them. I'll just have to watch the ******** number go up and then call to make sure and then head over. I don't think I've bought a minifigure series in the past couple years without doin' this :]

One of my local Target's is showing over 2000 minifigs in stock.

On a sidenote, hit up a few Targets and was told that they got a huge restock of the Disney CMFs. This one is going to tank in the secondary market. I'm avoiding them like the exo suit.

I found them at 1 of 3 Targets today.  Was able to get about half the set.  I did poorly as far as smooshing at getting dupes but the ones I got were good Batman versions and the kids wanted them.  Now that I know the accessories better it will go smoother but the first run is always a little rusty.  I left a bunch since I needed to pick up kids from school but they will be out en masse soon.  My bill for the Batcave and figures was over $150 so the cashier gave me both the 10 off 50 and 25 off 100. 

[Jman444]

I went to two Targets tonight, neither had the Batman series in the back.  They did however have a bunch of unopened boxes of series 16 and Disney.

I struck out at a 2nd Target, but at least I have a baseline for quantities on ******** Target Search.

I really wanted to grab a whole box this week with the $25 off $100 coupon at Target - that would make for some nice profits on selling 2 out of the 3 sets from a full box. Alas...
