Confirmed today, 71022 - Minifigures.  Not a CMF Series number (e.g., not Series 19).  Confirmed release of August 1, 2018.  22 minifigures in the series!

Rumor is that this is Harry Potter.

Percival Graves location along with bump codes. 4th from the back, or around there. I circled to make it easier. 

Someone correct me if I am wrong, but I believe no series has ever had figures in a consistent location in boxes. They should all be randomized. I'm assuming a machine sorts for 60 of the right ratios, piles them up, and then packs them all at random in a box.

According to the consistent placement of the Policeman in the last series....I believe you may be wrong....

That is helpful news! 

It might not be across the entire run but batches I have bought have had the same placement through 10-20 cases or so (Disney and TLBM). Went through 50-100 cases of each of those and they definitely had consistent placement.  I do think later runs though it would change some and those cases would be very close to the same as well. 

By the way, bad news for those who have not made requests yet! We are completely out of boxes to sell for pre-orders! I can sell sets of 16 still, but I cannot complete any further invoices on the boxes or sets of 6. Sorry!

We will do our best to procure more inventory and post again as soon as we have more stock.

Any updates on shipping dates? Patiently waiting.

Minifigures, I would appreciate email notification when you have more stock. I paid my invoice upon receipt, only to have the sale cancelled 20 minutes later. Hoe you contact these buyers before you offer for sale again

Found him at the back in the top left hand corner of a fresh box seemed to me like it was oddly placed part of the packet was folded over

Took my daughter to the HP build event at B&N. They had tons of HP sets, all but the minifigures. When I asked the lady in charge about them, I got an earful about the evils of people buying them up the first day to sell on eBay! [emoji57] she also doubted they would get anymore anytime soon.

Ours was also sold out.  I'd bought maybe 8 from the box, 2 days later box is gone.  Squat showing up at Walmarts, in the middle of resetting Lego aisle for new sets.  Target had some but gone also, haven't seen since. 

It’s frustrating that they haven’t anticipated the demand better. Not that I want the market flooded with them, but they need better distribution.

Not that we need further confirmation, but I grabbed the back/left 10 packets from a freshly opened box and got Percival. And no, I'm not returning the others. ?

So far, Ive been able to pull 5 percivals from new cases.  He is not always in the 4th spot from the back left row.  From what I can tell, he is in the 3rd, 4th or 5th spot....

This is what I found with percival too. Same as with series 18 policeman.

Last night was checking out a local WM for clearance sets and came across a box less than half full. Smooched one pack in the back left and nabbed a Percival.... That makes 4 so far plus a box coming. 

Has anyone gotten a clear distribution of what each box includes yet?

I'm assuming you smooshed them first and then smooched the pack after you found percival..LOL

Google Whitefang's review of the series on Eurobricks - they're generally thorough and informative

Last night was able to pull two Percivals out of a WM stand-up display endcap.............

My Wal-Mart has finally reset toys (shelving and price tags anyway) and is in the process of stocking the shelves.  I asked the toy manager yesterday and he offered zero help... "I got 13 pallets back there guy, I got no idea"...  I'm sure he'd been asked this 100 times already.  He seemed stressed out so I left.  Went back today and he wasn't there (somewhat thankfully, he seems to give me the eye like 'I know who you are', of course that could be my own paranoia... lol).  Today at least there were two gals from a nearby small-town store that were farmed in to help work the inventory.  They listened to my plea and I was surprised that they both put down their scanners and went in back to look for me.  They'd said a couple young guys were also asking about them a bit ago.  Unfortunately, they came back empty handed but I was very thankful they at least took the effort.  Got to love small-town Iowa.  They said there were 5 pallets all still wrapped in plastic.  If that's accurate it went from 13 yesterday to 5 today, hopefully by evening it's all stocked.  Another unfortunate part of this story is that I ran in to those two young guys who were asking earlier.  They looked like they rode their bikes there and were prepared to just sit it out and wait all day... must be nice being 13 with some lawn mowing money and nothing but time to kill while you watch and wait... At least my work is fairly flexible and I'm 10 mins from the store.  I'll check back at lunch or after work.
