http://m.youtube.com/?#/watch?v=Whp1EDFG-Ik.   Vid of opening 60 can fwd to end.  Yes fewer of some.

That is rather incorrect.  The CMF distributions on any 60 ct case is fixed.  Even in that video, the number of figures they got was an exact match to what was shown in whitefang's picture of 60 figs from a few pages back.

 

Now, the distributions on 90ct or 120ct cases you see hanging on the endcaps of Targets are most likely inconsistent.

How did they get 186+ cases ?  :shocked:  :shocked:  :shocked:  Or since it is pre-order listing, how do they guarantee they will be getting 186+ cases ?

They do.  He/she has fantastic feedback and has been doing it for a long time.  I ordered 10 cases of Series 10 CMFs from them and they all arrived in perfect condition. Maybe he/she has a toy store.  These are not exclusive sets, so he can order what he wants.

10 case of series 10 was a brilliant purchase.  I bought 3 from them when you did and I have already sold them for $330 -  $350.  Great return in short period of time.

Yes, I see that.  It is still cheaper than other sealed cases on eBay.  The cheapest I saw was $299.99.

actually i meant it with sort of a fist pump YEAH! not awwww man that's alot - I bought 3 at 239 and its now up to $275 - I'm already in the green and I haven't even received the cases yet  :zorro: .  with no shipping and no taxes.  Thanks again for posting this deal!

 

I have continued my moronic vigil at the 3 local walmarts and 2 walgreens on my lunch breaks and have been asking them to scan my upcs with nada but 46 in a half eaten case at one walmart in 3 weeks. 

 

These are going to be...oooops gone so get em' while u can.  er actually there will be a ton of homers and marges and barts in molested boxes with lots of fingerprints all over them.

Thanks. I did tell people at the time to take advantage but many thought the Vampyre's Castle was a better investment. LOL. Maybe they will learn with these.

Maybe others can learn from your experience. Think about how much time and money is wasted by constantly checking local Walmarts and Targets for these minifigures when a person could have just preordered and did something worthwhile with their time.

You guys are all very lucky. I've got 8 Wal-Mart stores within 10 minutes of my house/office and none of them ever carry minifigures or polybags for lego. One of them had some series 11 out the other day in the clearance aisle but they weren't marked down and another store sells only the lego friends polybag sets.

The only places I've locally seen minifigs here is Target (one box, impossible to find anything good), TRU (overpriced), and the Lego store (they tend to frown on bag feelers).

One of my local Target stores has two of the tall endcap displays completely filled with Simpsons CMF's at $4.  Trying to decide if I want to go raid their stash. 

 

I haven't had too much profit from other CMF sales, although I expect the simpsons figs will do better;  I also don't know if I feel like having the cashier scan 100 individual packs today...

Same thing at my Target. The lady said I was the second person to squish them and over half were Marge. She said that is the only case they got in and that the May 1st date is not firm for them

I been looking for this minifigs all over the place Walmart, Target, TRU you name it and in my area they not existant. However yesterday I went to TRU and they were kind enough to sell me 4 because the manager give this instructions, also finally at Target found 64, price wise $3.99+tax. Happy hunting.

Scored 97 at my local Target today! Weird number coz I raided all that was left. As they weren't in the case, I sure hope half of if ain't Marge.

Don't plan on smooshing coz m not too good at it. Will jus sell them open as partial/complete sets - btw, does opening the bags affect the resale value? I usually open to verify then tape them shut carefully back in the original bags.
