Ordered a case using the eBay gift cards from Target.  Not a bad deal.

Looking at the survey of which ones are our favourites, I wonder if kids were voting , if the results would be any different . How much are kids these days into zombies and monsters ? Or are they all the rage? I wonder what percentage of these are sold to kids , as compared to adult collectors. Just trying to work out which ones will sell best. And if there is 5 of a figure in box, does that usually mean it won't be a hot seller in the reseller market?

I'll ask my 7 year old daughter tomorrow what she thinks overall and specially which ones she likes.

My kids like the Scientist , Skeleton suit , and fly monster and  zombie buisness man (for the hair piece). Kid one. 

For those who have purchased multiple cases...were you concerned with having the shipping squash the boxes?  Did he ship them individually or all in one box?

this guy is a really good seller and shipper. Each case comes in into own sealed box.

yes this is the one. 

  Typically I don't take the time to get on every forum, but since there were so many sales within hours of listing the pre-order, I assumed investors were responsible. Hopefully I can address a few concerns briefly.

I have attached a photo that will hopefully show more clearly how everything is shipped. Labels are affixed to the boxes exactly as they are received, and larger orders will even receive double boxing. We pride ourselves with never opening the original shipping boxes. Anything that looks remotely damaged will be opened and parted out, so you receive the best boxes.

Cheapest you are gonna find a case anywhere and it's free shipping. And I won't be surprised if he raises the price in the next few days. 

 Fortunately we have increased supply for this series, anticipating a higher demand (as is typical when there are figures involving an upcoming holiday), but that is very true. We have expanded to Amazon this summer as well, and if sales continue the way they are over the next 48 hours, you will see the price increase.

I noticed that the shipping date wasn't until the end of Sept though.  Seems like a long wait when they will be in stores Sept 1.

Shipping date is expected to be around the 17th or 18th of September to be more precise, but because we cannot make promises on that date, it is stated as "late September."

Hi

 

I consider this the price to play. And I get to feel out the elements and perfect my technique in the comfort of my home rather standing around store full of distractions hoping little Timmy doesn't kneecap me when he realized i have the last zombie cheerleader in my hand.

 

If I can't figure out what's inside within 20 seconds, I rub them on my genitals to secure extra time.

 

The point is, you have to plan ahead

I think it's safe to say in that store you are the distraction.  I only hope little Timmy can avoid your exposed genitals when going for your kneecaps.  Haha! :-)

do the 60 ct boxes have the characters in the same locations? 

ie front middle is bigfoot or is the placement random?

Sometimes they do.  It seemed like there were always 2 Hot Dog guys toward the back of the middle row in Series 13.

Simpsons series 2 minifigures, were available for a significant discount on amazon france if I remember correctly.  Any sign of the Monster minifigures?  I poked around their site but did not see anything. 

Is the perspective in this picture freaking anyone else out? Given the door tracks, it seems like we're UNDER the boxes. If Series 14 figs defy gravity, it only adds to their awesomeness and I may have to buy another box.

Shopping for LEGO is easier when no one else is in that section.

Yup, it was $180 USD per box with shipping included. Not sure if I really wanna bite on this $235 per box deal....

I just sold a box of these things for $500...works for me.  I have another box and not sure if I want to sell the entire thing or split it and sell two full sets of 16 and keep one for myself (I mean my kids).  Not sure what is best.  Stopped in another Target this morning and they had two cases in the back but only allowed me to buy one.....as in one packet...woohoo.  There was a paper on the boxes stating not for shelves until 9/1.

The boxes are filled by hand, by LEGO employees.  There is no rhyme or reason otherwise.

I'd be curious to know how an assortment is put together, since they are supposed to be the same for each case.  If employees have to grab them by hand out of an already sorted pile, that doesn't seem very efficient.

Weren't you complaining about receiving a different assortment buying this way & not getting the 3 complete sets...?

Actually I did get the 3 complete sets after opening them, smooshing them wasn't accurate for me.

I found this series easy to smoosh

There is a cool smooshing guide I saw on reddit today too
