Freakshow Posted August 23, 2015 Posted August 23, 2015 (edited) Got some at my local target, kind of mad I didn't grab a bunch and then return the ones I didn't want. It was awkward having the two guys watch me feel the bags so I hurriedly grabbed 7 and left. Not sure if i'll have luck going back tonight, the guy noticed the "do not sell till sept 1st", but he scanned it and I was able to buy them so he was like "i'll just pretend I didn't see the sticker". The 4 I opened/wanted were the Banshee, Skeleton, and Fly trap guy, Also didn't really want the Fly but I opened him anyway. Pretty sure the 3 unopened were Bigfoot, frankenstein(UGH), and Gargoyle. So I might try and even exchange them tonight. and grab a 4th or 5th bag. I want the Cat lady, Witch, Specter, and maybe the Spider lady. Edited August 23, 2015 by Freakshow Quote
x105Black Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) I picked up a few from this series at a local Target a couple of weeks back after reading about others doing the same in this thread. I also went to several other Target locations multiple times over the last couple of weeks, along with a couple of Toys R Us locations, but was unable to find anything. I even asked around using the DCPI provided here. One Target said that they had them, but were unable to bring them out until September 1st. My favorite is the Gargoyle. He looks great with his own legs, but I modified one with normal legs and I think it is fantastic. I also really like the Fly Monster and Square Foot. The claw on the Fly Monster is awesome, so I had to get 2, but I wish there was better printing on Square Foot. At first, I didn't like the Plant Monster, but have since been able to appreciate its usefulness as an actual plant. I have replaced the head with one that is dark pink, and it looks great. I also have a Skeleton Guy and a Wacky Witch, which I like, and a Tiger Woman and Spectre that I am very fond of. I'm still considering the Wolf Guy. My least favorites are the Monster Rocker, Monster Scientist, and Spider Lady. I'm also not a big fan of the Banshee, the Zombie Businessman, the Zombie Cheerleader, or the Zombie Pirate. I'm just not a fan of zombies in general, but I might pick up the pirate for the hat. Edited August 24, 2015 by x105Black Quote
8BrickMario Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Why do I read this thread when I still haven't found anything. I'm torturing myself! Hopefully, I'll be able to find them this weekend in the city. Quote
CM4Sci Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Why do I read this thread when I still haven't found anything. I'm torturing myself! Hopefully, I'll be able to find them this weekend in the city. Same! Where are you? Quote
8BrickMario Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Chicagoland. I should be going to the city on Saturday and I'm hoping the Target there has them. Quote
CM4Sci Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Chicagoland. I should be going to the city on Saturday and I'm hoping the Target there has them. Oh, good luck. 3 Targets in southern MN and nothing. Quote
Freakshow Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 Chicagoland. I should be going to the city on Saturday and I'm hoping the Target there has them. I'm in Illinois (suburbs 30-40mins away from the city) and found some at my local Target, I called with the DCPI and they said they had 100 in the back just to come in. It might be best to call and if they have some tell them you'll be in, you might have better luck if they go in the back and say they cant pull them out till the 1st, maybe try pulling the I drove all the way here and/or call a manager?

lanesteele240 Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 (edited) Im new to lego mini fig series. Do they only make 100 cases of them and miss out on all the money from the sales of them. Disappointing many costomers I went to my walmart today and dug around and got a hotdog man. I could tell what a few of the others were but the hot dog man was all i was interseted. Is it a good idea to buy them all. Edited August 24, 2015 by lanesteele240 Quote
telaruhn Posted August 24, 2015 Posted August 24, 2015 How the heck do places still have Series 13 on shelves? It felt like they went out of stock all the way back in March on the LEGO website... I'll be looking at TRU for Series 14 once I get to school on Wednesday. There isn't a Target near there, but I am still hoping they put them on the shelves before September 1st... Quote
lanesteele240 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I work in a. Very poor community. I get many kits that have been marked down because the just dont sell. Which leave the question. Should i get the remaining 1/2 case of s13 Quote
DD840 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 When I called last weekend, they didn't have 14 at the TRU near me but said they had Simpsons and s13. Although they sell out at Lego, they seem to linger at other stores. I was tempted to check the store today but had too many errands and assume it could be less likely to find them early in Canada.

Wardancer Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 They are out in Germany. I bought 3 gargoyles, 1 plant monster and accidentally a fly monster which I had mistaken for another gargoyle. I only had access to about 40 bags, so that is not bad. I will wait for new boxes though, the ones I saw were almost empty already. The spectre seems to be hard to feel. I consider myself a very good feeler, but differentiating her weird whirly footpiece from all the strange headpieces in the series is difficult. I will need to try again. The gargoyle looks much better with long legs. Quote
lanesteele240 Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I cought the mini fig bug and started searching. No series14? But i had these at the drug store Ened up with two wizards and a rock star. Quote
Mutant Orc Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 I don't follow this topic, so sorry if this has already been said, but I was in the Lego Store in Liverpool today and they had the figures for sale. So...they're out in the UK. Quote
Actor Builder Posted August 25, 2015 Posted August 25, 2015 Found Series 14 at a Walgreens store. There were about twenty bags, 5 of which were Squarefoot. Very odd. Wardancer, I didn't have any trouble feeling the ones I wanted. The Banshee's hair only has to be distinguished from the Spectre's hood. Their legs are pretty easy to find. Good luck! Quote
Blakstone Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Spotted at Walgreens in Oklahoma City. I picked up five but didn't bother feeling them as I was late to work. My haul was two zombie cheerleaders, a wacky witch, square foot, and the phantom. Quote
x105Black Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 I just picked up a few more at a couple of local Walgreens. 2 more Gargoyles, and 2 more Fly Monsters. Quote
SFC4 Posted August 26, 2015 Posted August 26, 2015 Just managed to find some in the UK. Didn't think my town in Devon would have any yet. Nice surprise! Quote
Robert8 Posted August 26, 2015 Author Posted August 26, 2015 (edited) "The Monster Trials" will premiere in the LEGO Minifigures Online Game soon Edited August 27, 2015 by Robert8 Quote
DuckBricks Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) I just used the barcode posted a few pages back to get them at my local target... Had to specify black packs though Edited August 27, 2015 by legozebra Quote
Robert8 Posted August 27, 2015 Author Posted August 27, 2015 Series 14 is already available in some LEGO Stores Source: Bricks and Bloks Quote
