Does anyone have the Target DPCI for these handy?

204-00-1379 is the 9 digit code on my receipt - that's the DPCI, right?

I think I ran in to a brickpicker in Target this afternoon - hiding in the back aisle with a new box of minifigs in the cart while frantically smooshing bags ?

Does anybody ever try identifying each bag by its weight?

Only when I take my minifig sorting tray with built in scale.

Who was the guy with the magic sorting tray or baskets? We need him right now.

That was Supraboy, must be basking in the glow of his last flapjacks as they fizzle on the grill in the TRU parking lot.  The kids will no longer take $5 gift cards.

Doh, I forgot about the precision Powerglove Scale he had.

Not sure how his magic sorting basket handles 17 figs... I guess it’s magic and we’ll never know!

[Dlambert2004]

Stopped by a WM and was excited I found a box of minifigs. But it looked like someone had already gone through smushing them all. Had no hope for a policeman.

With the help of the Brothers Brick feel guide I found one of each in less than 10 minutes!

Lo and behold, the last one I tried was...the policeman! [happy dance]

Joke's on you cause Batman CMF 2 came with 20 figs in a set

[Dr.Dad]

And, yes, [mention=5366]terrymc4677[/mention], that appears to be where the policeman is always located. 


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

I apologize for my smugness....
I was frustrated about the 5th Walmart that had no idea where the stock was, which they guaranteed me was somewhere in the back. Hours of my life I’ll never get back...oh well.

Yes, it is in this location in about 20% of the boxes I’ve found. (None before tonight, though.)

This would appear to be true. Asked at my Target for that DPCI and Ninjago and Batman minifig boxes came up. They didn’t have any Series 18 in stock (yet?)

Boy, you go out smooshing bags and you can really meet some characters.

Have any of you had issues with buyers switching the sealed minifigure bag, and then claiming it was an incorrect bag/ listing?

If so, how do you handle it/ prevent it/ protect yourself?

Thanks!

i agree with @superlegolover .  don't sell sealed CMFs.   just put a small slice with scissors to confirm the minifig and mention that when selling.  better to be safe than sorry especially with 'chase' figs.  however, series 10 mr gold was / is a whole other story...

[CosmicSpeed]

Im not too much into CMF's, but Ill pick up a few. I am not a god smoosher so I consistently get 2x of the same minifigure in a single pull. Not spending too much time, testing. I pulled the Elephant Girl and 2 Birthday Girls today at the Lego store.

Those can go with my 2 Breakfast Lloyds and 2 Commissioner Gordon's.

This will be the first series I do try and get a majority of the figures however as they are really unique and fun.

[calmdahn]

I got 10 of the 17 today at the Flatiron store. Hit the Queens Center Mall store on the way home and they are already sold out!!!

Thanks....still on the fence.
I am 100% sure about my police officer bags. In addition to location in the box, there are numerous confirmatory and confuting identifiers of the police officer from the others.

I’m worried the buyer will switch it with another sealed pack and dispute the sale.

Shady people mess everything up!

Had a Target employee pull a box from the stockroom today. When he came back, the seal on the right was intact, but the left seal was cut and the bags in that row were askew. Me thinks there's a Brickpicker working at my local Target's stockroom.

Not necessarily, I had an employee pull 300 from the back. They turned out to be three cases of BM Movie 2 and two cases of series 18. I pulled the two policeman, fifth from the back on the left row and placed the cases back in the brown mailers. The employee put out all of the Batman since they were older and sent the two series 18 cases to the back again.

20 minutes before closing at Target I nicely asked an employee to see if any were in the back. She had no idea how to find anything in the stock room. Manager up front talked her through it via headset.
She comes back with a handful. I’m thinking the rest are still back there and she doesn’t know what she’s doing.....
And there’s no way a police officer is in the tiny group.
Wrong and wrong.
The first one I pick up is the officer Woo hoo! I fly through the rest and start laughing bc I realize it must have been an employee’s stash of one of each character including the officer.
And the last was another officer.

[stackables]

So where do we think the price of the Police Officer will bottom out?  Looks to be around $35 on ebay.  I don't think this series will be in short supply.
