Stopped in the local Lego store and they had the last three boxes out........ Apparently there was a long line this morning and they blew through a ton before noon. I focused on the last third of the left hand row for about 10 min and was able to pull 2 Percivals.......... Also grabbed 6 randoms for friend at work since I have a box coming anyway. Yeah buddy.........

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.............
