Just asked the store folks they said it's retired and is not expecting any new inventory to the store... so either they are wrong or this could be online only (besides of other retailers who might have some left)

Perhaps employees who stated disney minifigures were coming back with the release of the disney castle were confused with the normal Series 16 minifigure worldwide release.

Today at Lego Store (had tons of boxes come in this weekend).

Yep my sources said October as well 

HAHA!  Glad I bailed on these a month ago and made 5.00 per set while blowing my last few out.  That 15.00 now burns a hole in my pocket.

I can only assume this is in US only, as these vanished here around a month ago.

checked in local stores in NZ also they will not be coming back to our region.  Only to US and CAD region, retired everywhere else

At least maybe just maybe people will stop asking if these are retired...

Legoland ouch.

ive noticed a lot of target stores raising the prices as well, which is weird cause they will have multiple series all with different prices

and there shipment was huuuuuuuge...

It's not just the disney all mini figs going forward are now $4.99.  Some sets they are also going above retail.

It seems like just a few years ago they were selling these for $1.99.  Oh how I miss the low prices and individual barcodes.  It made it so much easier to army build those Spartans.

Legoland clearanced season 2 packs for $1 many years ago. 

I'm boycotting at $4.99. That's just insane! 

Walgreens has series 16 for $4.99 too

Like the retail price will be $4.99? Or just some stores?  If so, I am out.

Rumor is all minifig series retail price will be $4.99 moving forward.

Absolutely ridiculous.  I think I will be done collecting these.  I would assume these would not sell well at that price but who knows.

qfll'ing:  maybe one or two figs per set

longer term hold: ha!

personal collection:  not any more

For the sellers out there, not sure how you can make any profit from selling any of the figs individually.  $5 for the fig, $2.6 to ship plus fees.  Not seeing much profit.

This is simple case of RPGU .. Retail Price Goes Up ... Resell Price Goes Up. No worries. 

I might have to up my purchase discount threshold to 30%.
