And I've already come across one preorder on ebay offering the police officer at $50 OBO. I think the idea of the series is that it's a birthday party for the policeman. I guess he's the minifigure turning 40? Expand Mind......blown...... That is a really interesting take on it....because the policeman is pretty out of place in this series IMHO 1 Quote

MinifiguresPlus Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 Hello all, Due to high demand, we are increasing the price of the pre-order for all new orders after this post: Box: $221 Set: $73 If you have already DM'd, you will get the original price. We will try to get more supply to meet the demand, but this price will likely not go down again. Welp, you know the saying: "Grab them before they are gone!" Quote
TANV Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 I like this series a lot and how it looks. But...I might just wait for it to go on clearance or prices to drop on eBay for the box. Tempting to jump in and invest... Quote
stackables Posted March 12, 2018 Posted March 12, 2018 What I did for the batman figs was buy blind packs from Ebay. I average $2.5 per pack. Had some issues completing a couple sets but I just trade for the ones I need. Probably will do this for this series unless I can get a box for a good price. Buying a box and not getting the police fig is a deal breaker. 1 Quote

stackables Posted March 20, 2018 Posted March 20, 2018 Any other good spots to get a case for a decent discount? Has anyone had success with Indigo? I remember ordering 60 packs back in the day and getting a box. Quote

A little less. $203/box. plus I'll get 1% ($2) back in eBay bucks plus 1% back from my credit card. Quote
alias26 Posted March 21, 2018 Posted March 21, 2018 $203/box is a good deal for me. This is a great box and will be using it for my kids bday party as cake decorations and favors Quote
Dr.Dad Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 Went to Walmart this AM and found a sealed box on top of the shelves. I’ll update when I figure out if they’ll let me buy. Quote
Dr.Dad Posted March 30, 2018 Posted March 30, 2018 It was too much of a hassle. They couldn’t figure it out then tried to charge me 7$ bc that was what they found on the internet 1 Quote

Then they found it from a third party online and tried to charge me 6.95. Then I tried to get them to sell for 1/2 price. It was a huge waste of time. 5 people involved and no one with knowledge or authority to do anything. Quote
Lordoflego Posted March 30, 2018 Author Posted March 30, 2018 $7 for cop ain't bad you couldn't just smoosh for that one? Quote

Dr.Dad Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 20 people waiting in front of the Lego store to smoosh the minifigure packs......that’s why I was curious. Ain’t nobody got time for smooshing! Quote
Alpinemaps Posted April 1, 2018 Posted April 1, 2018 Surprisingly, I’ve yet to see these in the wild in SoCal. Usually they’re out a week or two before. I haven’t been to LEGOLAND California though, they might be out there. But they will no doubt be $4.99. Quote
