marco1264 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I feel like this is one of those sets where every minifig will be worth something a year from now when Simpsons Series 2+ comes out.... I agree. Even the common figures like Homer and Bart will be sought after by Simpsons fans that are not nessecarely Lego fans/collectors.

4cs Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 From a seller's perspective I really like the 3-4-5 distribution. The rare figs are the less common characters and I think the casual Simpsons fan is going to want the big names (Homer, Bart, Krusty...). I think this will drive some demand for the less common ones for those looking to fill sets. So far, I've sold many more rare ones online than the common ones.

marco1264 Posted April 30, 2014 Share Posted April 30, 2014 I was at my local Target on Sunday and found that they had just put out the Simpsons retail case. So, naturally I bought them all. Plus a full case of 120 from the back stockroom. I have already sorted them and will post my findings tomorrow, as I am at work all day today..

marco1264 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 On a separate note, I found a complete (untouched) retail case of Series 11. I couldn't resist. I grabbed the case. Here is how it broke down: 10 - Barbarian Warrior 3 - Scarecrow 5 - Alpen girl 3 - Blacktron Robot 7 - Island Warrior 11 - Gingerbread Man 3 - Christmas Elf 16 - Yeti 6 - Rock Climber 11 - Welder 11 - Lady Scientist 5 - Jazz Player 6 - Waitress 4 - Grandma 14 - Police Officer 4 - Lady Robot Anyone else familiar with the breakdown of the 120ct retail case? Just realized I only have 119. Somehow I misplaced 1. I'll have to look around...lol FYI: all of these are available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mushedroom Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Thank you - great to know how this is determined - I learned something today!!!! i do have to give you a warning though. this isn't a 100% proven science and i've heard that each number code (i think means designated geographic areas) sometimes have different bump codes but for now this is what i found out. number regions were for us, canada, international.

legoray01 Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Thank you - I picked up 58 packs at $3 a piece and wanted to figure out what was in them without opening them. Now I can at least take a shot at it. legoray Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I thank you for sharing the helpful video but you really don't need to post the same thing into a bunch of different topics. Once should be enough. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Thank you - I picked up 58 packs at $3 a piece and wanted to figure out what was in them without opening them. Now I can at least take a shot at it. legoray Flashlight technique works well. You can feel for the individual pieces, too. Between the three, you'll have no problem.

brick-of-life Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I cross-checked the bump codes in the video with an earlier blog post shared by another bper against my own sets but only found Homer's bump codes to be the same for all three - the rest seems different. Think the bump codes vary by region as mentioned earlier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wholovesboo Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Simpsons minifigs up on TRU website now for $3.99 each. Limit 4 (online at least!). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supergman Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Went to a TRU this morning, got there early, first one in the place....looked for the minifigs, nowhere to be found. Mgr all week, and even last night, said they're in the back and will be available this morning. Well the mgr this morning said they're out of stock and apparently employees purchased them. WTH?

shootyb Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 How come LEGO SAH does not list them for sale? They are up; limit of 32: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Minifigures-The-Simpsons-Series-71005?fromListing=listing Edit: Sorry about the lack of affiliated link!

hobbycrafter Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 How come LEGO SAH does not list them for sale? Interesting, LEGO Shop at Home only shows the Simpson's House when you search "simpsons" in the search field or search for it by "The Simpsons" theme, yet it's right there on the front page (at the time of writing)... http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Top-Sellers Anyway, with some website finoodling around, here's the link to the Minifigs on LEGO Shop at Home: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/LEGO-Minifigures-The-Simpsons-Series-71005?fromListing=listing Edit: Welp, shootyb beat me to it...

That is a big reason for complain. Customers should get first pick, not the employees. I would track down the regional manager (or whoever the boss of that store manager) and complain Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stackables Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 I strongly hope that lego doesn't make every series after this $4 a pack. I can kind of stomach the $4 for licensed figs but not for the standard ones. Most of the older series are barely above retail cost and doesn't look to have appreciated much. I don't see too many collectors or lego fans willing to shill out $4 for a single fig especially when you can get a poly for that price. The new spiderman poly is only $4.

Darth_Raichu Posted May 1, 2014 Share Posted May 1, 2014 Btw, TRU is running a promotion for 10% off anything on Thursdays when you use TRU credit card in store. It is not much, but one of cheapest ways to get the Simpsons minifig so far Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They have an easy solution for that. Up the price for polys to $5. The last Friends polybag at Target was $5 a piece Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
