Man this thread is basically punching me in the face with nostalgia, I'm remembering all the sets I had when I was younger like the jungle temple thing that was basically Indiana Jones before they had the license. I had an awesome ghost train thing with a Baron/Ringleader dude and an Old West jail with an exploding wall. This is going to end with me going into the attic tonight and trying to make something.

Now that people are finding the Series 2 figs here and there, a friendly reminder of my earlier offer: I'll trade a complete set of Series 1 for your complete set of Series 2, in case you missed (or want another set of) the first!

Just in case anyone out there was under the same impression I was, the Kingdoms advent calendar is not, in fact, UK exclusive. Or at least the online LEGO store doesn't indicate that it's not available in the US.

Got my S2 minifigs today. Called the Puyallup TRU around lunch and she told me they still had 'a lot' left, but they were $2.99. I headed up there for an extended lunch break while debating with myself over buying a full box (like I did with S1). I didn't want to pay $180 with $60 of that being pure TRU markup. The debate was resolved when I saw 'em. Two open boxes, and the figs were a mess. Tried to use my phone to get to a barcode list, but doing it that way was just gonna suck. Turns out there's an Android app that has all 32 minifigs and their various barcodes in it, and it supports barcode scanning. I spent nearly a half hour assembling two complete sets (not easy with the reflections and the seam interfered with easy scanning); took a good 60 figures before I found any weightlifters. Lots of cops, though. So as of about 2pm today, the Puyallup TRU had ~80 minifigs left.

For those UK lego fans out there - My local Entertainer got their delivery of S2 yesterday. They've numbered them all, so it's easy to pick out which ones you want. They don't, however, have the vampire or the witch. They do seem to be flying out pretty fast though. Going to head back today to try and grab a few more, before they run out!

The Vampire and Witch have supposedly been removed because The Entertainer's owner is quite religious and doesn't believe children should have certain things as toys. I wasn't in a rush for either of these figs, but it may prove to be a problem if they remove the rumoured Mummy from S3.

Captain Invictus posted:The witch, and maybe the vampire I can understand, but...the mummy? Really? Yup, The Entertainer is kinda strange like that. As Dame Cook said, the owner is uber-Christian. They don't have any Harry Potter toys, or anything remotely witch-crafty or vampire like. They also don't open on Sundays, being the Lord's Day, and all that jazz. Pretty sure that Argos have the minifigs, so we should be able to get the "offending" ones from there. Or TRU. Or possibly WHSmith (although I personally never saw S1 there). I might pop into Argos tomorrow, hopefully the box is on the counter and I can rifle through them, instead of being randomly picked from out the back, like most argos stock.

I think 2x8404 works out to $80 a set, and 2x7939 works out to $135 a set. I think I can probably make about $30 a set profit off bricklink.

So MOST LEGO stores should be receiving a series 2 shipment the next two Mondays, and they'll be done. Not sure how many will be on each shipment though.

Man, I really want some of those parts in the minifig collections to make it to general production. I can't find the minifigs locally and I don't want to pay collectors' prices on Bricklink/Ebay.

Years of being corrected and admonished by goons has left me a broken shell of a man. I barely have the strength to bang my head against the wall in morse code to relay my thoughts to my caretaker, who types for me. But, to be serious, there are lots of bar code cheat sheets available out there, and I'd prefer to use the goon recommended version. Happy?

Captain Invictus posted:So do they just throw the bad ones out? Return them? What? They had an agreement with Lego. (I spoke to a manager about this). The full boxes went to The Entertainer warehouses, where employees sorted through the boxes and pulled out the vampires and witches. The half-empty boxes then got sent on to the stores, and the "offending" figs got sent back to Lego. I assume lego will just sell them off online or somesuch!

Ted Stevens posted:Oh god, I so want that cargo train and the passenger train. But I don't want to spend $300 on LEGO in one sitting. That public transport is nice, but I wouldn't spend that much on it. I bought the TRU cargo truck and camper. I really like the bus from public transport, and having parted it out on bricklink, it comes out to something like $35 for the bus alone, so paying $50 for the set after half-off makes a lot of sense I would think.

I can't find the minifigs locally and I don't want to pay collectors' prices on Bricklink/Ebay. Whether or not it's really true, they have specifically stated that this probably won't happen. The minifigs are made at a separate facility from regular parts, as are the games, apparently. For the clubs placing orders through the LUGBulk program, we've been told we can't order Minifig or Games parts.

However, the parts which are similar to existing ones are all new moulds for the collectibles, so they might go the other way and produce regular moulds similar to some of the collectible parts. Meanwhile, 'collector's prices' aren't too bad if you get in quick before anything actually becomes scarce. I got all the parts I wanted - the Pharoah's headdress and staff, two of the Judoka's trophies and the Explorer's torso - from someone on Bricklink who had obviously bought a box. Total price, £4, the equivalent of two complete figures. Not bad considering I'd have had to buy a minimum of three to get all the parts I wanted.

Yeah, but only giving the LEGO stores, TRU, etc. one box every couple months sucks. I checked out the LEGO store in Tysons, and they said they'd have them in the afternoon Sept 1. When I went there at 1-2pm, they were already gone. Next shipment is sometime in October.

I checked my local Target and while they barely had their Halloween section up, they did have tons of series 2 minifigs. Not in display boxes, but two huge bins full. I grabbed 7 at random and scored pretty well for not feeling. I got the four that I really wanted, Judo guy, Surfer, Mime and Spartan, and got Disco Stu, Witch and Explorer as well.

I will have to check out Target as my local TRU had no signs of Series 2 and the employees have no idea about when they are getting new Lego stuff in because apparently a Lego rep does the delivery and stocking of any new arrivals.

Went to my Toys'R'Us they had just put out a new box, had 2 older ones out too. The older ones had been picked clean of spartans, but I pulled 3 out of the new, and a pharaoh, mexican, and vampire. Gave 1 spartan to another collector who came a few minutes after me looking for a cop and spartan to complete a set. Target had the box out for the figs, but didn't have them yet, they did have a pimp atlantis mini set of like a scuba mini camera thing.
