71021 - Minifigures - Series 18

[Dr Jedi]

Perhaps even more surprisingly, I came across a box of these yesterday (already wiped out) at my local TRU

[calmdahn]

What is this?  Also, what's google?
 
The new minifigures series is available. 

I have a really annoying newbie question. I’ve never gotten into minifigures but I’m considering dipping my toe in the water with this series. What’s the best/cheapest way to make sure one gets two each of the 17 figures?

Does it really need explaining?

Minifigures+

My opinion, of course. I like the zero work aspect. The price is usually close to RRP.

well, sort of? maybe the question i'm really asking is, what identifying marking characteristic does each bag have that makes it easy to pick them out? i suppose none. i googled my question and discovered "bump codes" http://www.brickstolife.com/lego-minifigure-series-17-bump-codes-feel-guide/ so maybe somebody will do a series 18 version. i guess i should just buy a box of 60.

and, furthermore, do these series end up having rarity based on LEGO making more or fewer of a particular figure? like, is it possible that they made 1,000,000 cowboys and only 10,000 cactus girls (or whatever)?

Just saw this on Facebook. Can anyone confirm...?

Surprisingly, I’ve yet to see these in the wild in SoCal. Usually they’re out a week or two before. I haven’t been to LEGOLAND California though, they might be out there. But they will no doubt be $4.99.

They are 4.99 again.

Interesting. Very interesting, indeed...

I’ve seen multiple reports of this, haven’t had a chance to try it myself.

you can look up the breakdown of this new season, the cop only comes 1 per box he is the most rare.

Other than Walmart, Target, Lego, and boutique toy stores, does anyone else sell minifigures?

Technically you only get 1 complete set since there is only 1 policeman per box

[zig_brickz]

I am slowly getting to know my new area Walmart, so I knew Monday morning was the time to find fresh stock. The man unloading them was nice enough to pull out the box for me. I also found the police officer in the back left.(couldn't swear on it being third from the back) Now I am trying very hard to not just sell the police officer right now. I am hoping to check the B&N and other stores for another officer.

Anyone finding these at Meijer?

According to a woman I met today while smooshing bags, the Meijer nearest me put them out a week early. Of course, "I heard it from a random stranger" does sound a lot like "I heard it from a LEGO store employee," so take that as you will. 

And, yes, @terrymc4677, that appears to be where the policeman is always located. 

[stackables]

I have a feeling that getting these online might give you a better chance of getting the policeman.  I still probably will end up with a box.  I have too many collectable minifigures ha.

Nope.......
Horseshoes and hand grenades, though.

[terrymc4677]

Does anyone have the Target DPCI for these handy?

[calmdahn]

Does anybody ever try identifying each bag by its weight?
