Cool deal on Oregon. Trying to get a visual idea of when they are showing up in walmarts.. seems it's the western states first and then it trinkles down here. I just don't want to hit the walmarts here locally on a daily basis.

Done, had never thought of a reason to list it until now!

Had too daily for TRU, not so bad tho as the employees have gotten to know me and help me dig through the minifigures boxes!

has anybody had any luck with this sheet? I don't understand what the non filled dots are for fisherman are vs the filled holes.

[oocaleb101oo]

I think they are suggesting that the fisherman has dimple like/depressed dots rather than raised brail dots.

Dark grey.

[vynsane]

They're "pearl dark gray", which looks even cooler than silver IMO. They have that metallic sheen to them, so it's not just dark blue-gray.

It's not a bad set...
My favs are the ball player, fisherman, elf, mummy, tribal chief, & gorilla suit.
The alien seems like a rip off the space police theme.
The rest are ok. For $2.99 or less I suppose.

Series 1 & 2 are great.
Series 4 looks promising.

I had limited sucess with the cheater sheet, with the first run I tried to get snowboarder and Tennisplayer. I got snowboarder and elf.

My second run I just took a chance and found elf and baseball player, I traded those off.

One a clearance run I also found the last CMF in a walmart and to my surprise it was a samurai.

at 2.97ea. I am not to moved to pick up anymore until there is a solid source of them and perhaps an inclusive BOGx deal.

Anyone noticed series 3 minifigures not the number 1 seller at shop at home? This is the first time the minifigures are not number 1. I guess the price and quality of the figures drove the demand down.

I agree. I've found that the Minifigures are practically incompatible with normal ones in that the colors are off. They yellow isn't the same as LEGO's, so I'm going to just leave them on display. I don't know if I'll even make use of the baseplates or accessories...

[oocaleb101oo]

Curious for all who have decoded a box. I seem to have the exact number of figures that usually come in the box. Mine had the 4 fishermen and 3 aliens. I've noticed that there is supposed to be 3 hula girls and we've felt all 3 packages, but 2 of the packages show the dot sequence that's normal for hula girl, but one packet shows an entirely different dot sequence. Going by feel method on the pack that stands out, it's clear it has 2 maracas and a hair piece and that's pretty much the only defining pieces in that pack. It looked like it had the same dot sequence as a rapper, but all the rappers are accounted for.

There hasn't been a reporting of rappers having 2 microphones in the pack just in case has there? Or could this be that they may have multiple dot sequences for various characters?

I made a decode sheet based on the packets I received and i'll post that sheet on here later after I open up those packs and get all 16 (just a double check before I post). I can tell you that one figure that is definitely different in dot sheets than what i've seen is the Gorilla Suit guy.. as there is 1 dot on the left side and 3 clearly visible dots on the right side. Some of the dot sheets i've seen for him only had one dot on the left and one dot on the right or one dot on the left and 2 far apart diagonal dots. I haven't opened the pack yet, but feeling out the banana was VERY easy. Not to mention the BULKY headpiece.

just found these at target in their valentine area in UT. 2.99

Last night I saw the price tag, $2.99, on the shelf in the Valentine area at my local Target but most of the Valentine section was empty, either they had not gotten everything in or they had not gotten around to putting things out yet. Had they been $1.99 still I would have asked an employee to check the back but I have most of the ones I want and I don't plan on getting many, if any more.

On another note, was anyone else disappointed by the Hula Girl's skirt? I would have passed had I known how bad it looked.

I was, and it was a little hard to put on. The real killer for me was series 2 Vampire cloak.. nightmare.

[legitimatealex]

Oh gosh it looks terrible...I've got the 'gotta check em all' tendency so I had to complete my set...But seriously her skirt is terribad. The vampire cloak looks good at least. The skirt sticks out in about 10 different places and the printing on her legs isn't complete, so if you bend her legs forward it looks like her panties are slipping forward. It's...weird.

[oocaleb101oo]

Ok, here's -my- decode sheet. Out of a box of 60 and going by matching dots AND feel method I scored 16 unique figures and no duplicates. I'm posting this to add to the other decode sheets that are out there. Compare and do with as you will. Noticeable differences for me turned out to be the Gorilla Suit Guy and that I landed a Hula Girl with what seems to be an alternate dot sequence. The other two Hula Girls I have have the same dot sequence as everyone elses decode sheet.
