It takes a while to open all the boxes and slap a $1.99 sticker on every set.

The stickering is done before they arrive at stores.

Yes, so that could be why it is taking so long to get to every store...or there just arent as many this round.

So I found some Powerpuff Girls and Unikitty and Chase Mcfartson or whatever the heck he’s called at a second store. The guy unboxing was really guarding these and was only releasing a few at a time from the back. He didn’t want to put them all out. He told me some other guy was there earlier and wanted to buy everything and he didn’t let him. He wanted to make sure everyone who came in got some. He hooked me up with 3 boxes of the Powerpuff Girls. I told him I didn’t want the others. He was cool with me and said they get a shipment tomorrow and to come by. He said he’d put some more aside for me. He was a cool dude.

LA area got some on Monday. And more on Wednesday.
Confirmed:
Powerpuff Team Pack
wu
Nya
City
Slimer
doc bttf
Uni kitty

You can add E.T to that list. Just picked them up today.

I wonder if Beatle Juice, A-Team, or Knight Rider will be released at some point. Some of the packs in the last wave are awesome. I’m hoping this is the calm before the storm and they end up releasing every pack they made.

Did you get a good amount? I hope I run across those packs.

I was looking for mainly the powerpuff team packs and Slimer

Only found ET at two stores. I picked up about 40 of them along with 130+ puff girls. All these packs including the least popular ones are still a no brainer if you sell on amazon IMO. Ebay is still good, but I had to bundle a lot of my packs last year there to push them out the door with all the competition. Just be prepared to spend a lot of time with the blowdryer unless you're gonna sell them off to our fellow bricklinkers. This is gonna be a lot of work unlike last year.

I'm holding back from just buying it all...only because I want to see what packs will follow.

Fellow BPs who helped me out with loose packs of these hit me up. Mahalo.

I just peeled them off. Some came off easy, others left a bit of a tear mark. I don’t think people will care about that.

I'm holding off also. The main reason for that is the price point. If they were $0.99 I would buy everything. I really just want the newer packs and not the stuff that was available last year at an inflated price.

Just please, don’t list them at $3.49
Don’t be that guy. =)

I vow not to sell any fun pack for less than $5.
Can I get an Amen?!

Amen.

I don’t see how people make money that way. Unless they get free shipping or something.

Amen.

The people listing them for $3 or less on Craigslist are people that have no clue how to sell LEGO. They thought they’d make a killing, bought a ton, and now their spouse is pissed they still have boxes of these in the garage.

All I found were sensei wu, unikitty, and chase mccain.

I would buy any slimer et or powerpuff girls for 4.00 plus pay the shipping they can have stickers or be removed entirely from the box.

Could you fix that 4th one from the bottom left corner.... it's screaming at me.   (and since you're there, maybe the 7th one from the bottom left too, but that isn't too bad)

I bought 84 Powerpuff Girls, 33 Hermoine’s, and 59 E.T.s. I’m leaving the rest for now. Still need to find Doc Brown.

Nya’s listing.
Who didn’t get the memo!?!

Some people undercut way too much sometimes. It’s like they are cool with a $3 to $4 loss of money per pack just to try and get a sale.

My guess is these Nya are from last year.  For me, Nya and Witch haven't sold much.  Looks like 20% off $4.  He is just trying to clear his garage.

I only bought Nya for my kids. I’m not buying these at all.

I hope this forces the prices on the Powerpuff Girls down a bit.  I want to pick them up for my daughter but not at $10 each.  Although if I remember right, there are sets coming out with them this year?  If the figures are the same, those prices will go down regardless.

If any Brickpicker is interested in these discounted Dimension sets, I’ll send them to you at $0 profit.($1.99+tax+shipping+$1). I will donate the extra $1 per set to the St. Paul raffle in your name. If you prefer to remain anonymous, pm me.

I’m going to visit a couple of stores today, so let me know how many you want and which ones.
Caveat: I visited a 99c store yesterday and only found 1x Doc and 2x Chase. Store clerk did say that more may come in on Monday. So no promises.

Quite a bit of stock out there. Here’s what I found today:
Slimer, Unikitty, Chase, Powerpuff, Hermione, ET, Doc, Nya. I also have onesies or twosies from last year laying around: Bad Cop, Gollum, Legolas, Bart, Homer.
I should have over a hundred assorted total. I’ll fill the requests I got today first. If anyone else wants any of these, let me know. I left quite a bit on the shelves and don’t mind going back out.
There’s an abundance of Slimer, Chase, and Unikitty.
