This is supposed to say "12% off at checkout." Sorry for the confusion!

You don't honestly think they were smooshing all the prior releases by hand?

Theoretically, only Agatha, Bishop and Moon Knight will be distinguished by weight. The other 9 will be rolling the dice.

Still holding out hope for a more accurate way, ie serial or id numbers.

I just bought a set and will throw them in the pile.

So this is “classic” Lego, they try to make it harder for people to get what they want a complete set and end up making it easier.

Some are calling Moon Knight the most detailed minifigure ever made. 

I’m a bit skeptical. They had similar codes on 6 pack figure boxes didn’t they?  I wouldn’t be surprised if there are many runs with many code combinations. Hope I’m wrong, but the sample is too small at this point unless more folks have chimed in. 

I hope when we start shipping sets it will be just matching 3 identical codes per box

These should be shipping soon from MinifiguresPlus.  I've seen several reports of boxes being ripped open and ransacked in Walmarts.

Post it for posterity, if you find it. Future generations will need at least two photos to verify this madness!

I saw the original picture from Walmart getting what I thought was blown out of proportion everywhere 1 person at 1 store opened them but didn’t steal they just wanted a set, but now it is up to 3 😂

I’m not trying to justify this, but let’s just entertain why someone might do this. No more smooshing ability means if you don’t know other routes you could be stuck making purchase after purchase attempting to complete a set. Or, you instead just open them up to narrow the odds.

I’ve always found the mini figures in this format lame and sinking to a low level. It invites nefarious actions to collecting them, since it’s not as easy as go to store and buy the ones you want.

Actually at 1 particular Walmart in my area, people / kids(?) often ripped open CMF packages even when they were still smooshable.

Putting all LEGO sets in locked shelves probably solved most of these for Walmart stores.  Ironically, the above store refused to put up lock-able shelves.

I worked on the other side of retail, so I'm getting a big kick out of this.

If we're going to lock up Timmy for fast-tracking his treasure hunt, then let's lock up Grandma for removing the bedding item from its plastic so she can "see it" (properly displayed on the store floor), Jhonny who needs to "confirm" the widget is the right size (the exact size was displayed on the now ripped up box), or short foot Freddy who grabs the pair 9's but switches one out for an 8.5 (this is such a gray area).

In all the cases above, it was impossible to get those items back in the box properly, and they would always wind up being clearanced. We simply called this "The Cost of Doing Business" in retail and it seemed like the vendor and customer always won.
