My jorts were in fine form today, and local Fred Meyers had the Disney minifigs. I stopped by one near work, and they had 3 boxes, all opened, and mostly picked through. I didn't feel like feeling them all out, so I bought 48. Then on a whim, I stopped by the one near my house, and they had 4 boxes, all opened but two seemingly un-picked-through. I bought one.

I'll post again once I figure out what I have, but there were at least two people in here who wanted a set without doing the work or had more sense than money to buy a box.
I'll be selling them at cost plus shipping, which thanks to Fred Meyer's BOGO 40%, means they cost me $3.19 apiece plus $.29 tax. So, a set for $62.64 plus shipping, which I'm not sure how to estimate right now, but probably below $10 to the continental US.

Update:
Well, that was miserable. I opened up the 48 I compiled from picked-through boxes and didn't come up with a single set.
4 Stitch
5 Mr. Incredible
9(!) Aladdin
2 Mickey
1 Minnie
4 Syndrome
5 Genie
5 Peter Pan
1 Toy Story Alien
3 Daisy
3 Cheshire Cat
3 Donald
1 Buzz
1 Alice

Someone grabbed all the Maleficients, Ariels, Ursulas, and Hooks from the boxes. Anyone want any Aladdins?

Going to open up the hopefully-untouched box now.

I am still down for a set fyi

Just FYI for anyone that is looking: I saw a box of the footballers at the supermarket today, already was somewhat picked over

E: Went to town today.
Store 1: Hadn't received any yet
Store 2: cleaned out, somebody bought everything
Store 3: limit 10 / person, had maybe 30 left out of the 400 or so they had gotten.
Store 4: Had 15 left.

I ended up with 16 figures, four are dupes so I still need four, if anyone is planning on trading.

E2: Apparently there are three different runs, with different bump codes. That explains why I had such bad luck trying to complete the set after I picked up 10 at the store with the limit.

Met up with TheRage and featurecreep to give them their figs today, and grabbed another dozen to complete two more sets. I haven't opened them yet, but I'm pretty confident I got what I needed, so those other two goons (on mobile, can't easily check) who wanted to buy from me should be good.

Woo, nailed it. Got the 12 I was looking for, although I realized just now I needed a 13th for another Minnie if AllisonByProxy still wants that partial set.

Dogen and Omnibobb, we're good to go. Since I had to pay full retail for those last 4, it'll be 14 @ 3.48 ($48.72) and 4 @ 4.37 ($17.48), or $66.20 per set, plus shipping. PM me your addresses (or email me at pyroclastichawk at gmail). I'll try to nail down the shipping cost once I find an appropriate envelope and know what zip code they're going to.

So after extensive research on the subject I've come to conclusion that the only Lego set out right now with the smallest rubber tires they make is the Bane Lego Dimensions Pack. Does any know if there's some random Target polybag or some other small set with them? I know I could just get them on brick link or some such but it hardly seems worth it for four parts. (And I don't think Lego's customer service has them in stock either?)

Apparently the German footballer figs are available to order in the UK on Lego's website?

If we can't get a full box to share between goons it might be worth buying a full 16, going for the best and trading between ourselves.

Welp I knuckled under and bought goddamn Bane. Does anyone actually want the rest of the kit minus the rubber tires? I also had a moment of weakness and bought this set for myself:



It has three things I enjoy: ducks, owls, and the Creator series. I wish I had the funds to buy all of the Creator houses, they're pretty cool and remind me of what I used to build as a kid, endless houses and planes.

Had my first experience with CMF blind bags today after finally locating a Target nearby that had some (I just moved to a new state).

I got Shark Guy, Astronaut, and two Wrestlers, which were the ones I wanted the absolute least. But hey, I had fun! The local store had 15 and 13, and no Disney, which was a bummer.
