dumb question, how do you determine a set? is there a barcode to show what each unit is? or must the packages be opened?

We send complete sets with each figure in a clear plastic baggie with all accessories and inserts included. We also have an identification system, so we do sets with sealed figures as well.

Thanks! And if you go the box route, i assume that is still factory sealed, correct?

Yes! All of the boxes we sell are factory sealed! The colored boxes have a light inner seal, so there is occasionally some shifting inside the box in the shipping process, but we send them in the brown outer box as is from the factory.

I saw these out at Target today. When is the release date? Seemed early to me.

You may see early items out at Target but they may not be able to be purchased.  POS will flag them.

Official images r out. Sorry if reposting.

The details are exquisitely spot-on. Only the necks on a couple of the characters feel a bit odd such as Kermit and Waldorf. As mentioned before Janice was a strange pick; however, with that said, whomever did her details captured the flowerchild beautifully.

These all are really good, and I believe The Muppets (including Sesame Street) are some of the best minifigures LEGO has done honestly. A number of the torso prints are usable for custom characters outside of the line. The "tomato" minifigure head could make for a cute alien in a space build.

Shoot. I would actually like to find Gonzo's shirt for myself to wear into work one day just for the heck of it. Haha.

Only thing we need now is Muppets series 2 to get the rest of the Electric Mayhem band.............

Can anyone find these on the Target website? I'd like to purchase there as I can get 5% off but can't get them to show up in a search. Also struck out at two local Walmarts. One said they had them in-stock but I couldn't find them on the shelf. I tehn ordered two online for pickup, thinking they would dig the boxes out and put the rest on the shelf but they substituted two Shang-Chi sets instead. Bzzzzt, that's not gonna work. I don't collect minifigures at all but I do want these!

Any shipping update for MinifiguresPlus orders?

[Brystheguy]

I bought a bunch of the 6-packs to hold onto and to get my own set. I had to break the seals on seven more boxes to find the other six! This was my first time smooshing and, I have admit, it was really fun.

Just got my tracking info today.

I've gotten more inquiries from friends about this line than any other Lego anything ever. A friend got a six pack and asked me yesterday what the best route to getting the other six was. I told her about smooshing... Then just told her I'd grab the six she was missing next time I found them in store. Luckily I remembered that when I found myself in a Walmart last night. Her response when I told her I got them:

Walmart is definitely the best smooshing spot, probably the least weird thing that happens there.

To smoosh or not to smoosh?

I'm still slow and awkward at it, not a 3 second expert like Supraboy.

Smooshing/Smooching, what's the difference?

But now you only need 12 pockets in your custom basket.  Let's face it, the 16 or 20 pockets basket looks awkward even for Walmart.
