skelliesgang Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I was traveling in Asia for the past week and didn't see any S14 but did pick up 5 packs of S6! Now that I'm back home I'm glad to see these are showing up at the Lego stores. I have no patience for pre-release hunting. Quote
8BrickMario Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I only lose patience when unsuccessful. I'll be sure to hit up Target and a LEGO store this weekend. I want to have the satisfaction of finding them before Tuesday, the official release date. Quote
CM4Sci Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Retried a Target I had been unsuccessful with before. I went there and they restocked a rack with alllll Simpsons Series 2! Quote
x105Black Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 (edited) Series 14 is already available in some LEGO Stores The local LEGO Store here said that they only got a few cases, so they can't put them out early. I suppose some stores must have gotten more. I found a few more at another Walgreens though, and found some LEGO Movie packs at a Target. Edited August 27, 2015 by x105Black Quote
williejm Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Have to say, having procured 15/16 of the series today, this is really a fantastic set of figures. Surprised how a few I was non-plussed about are so much better in real life - pleasantly surprised by the plant monster, skeleton guy and spectre. Quote
MiloNelsiano Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 I found some today that were hiding on a Simpsons S2 rack. First time I've ever (had the patience to have) found them all in one setting! While I definitely like them more than I thought I would have, I probably could have still lived without some of them. Quote
Fulcrumfan91 Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Has anyone seen the 14 series Minifigs out in Canada? Quote
Jbricks Posted August 27, 2015 Posted August 27, 2015 Anyone think Spectre's face could pass as Nux from Fury Road? I don't think there's any face out there that is closer, unfortunately Spectre's is glow in the dark and with a goofy mouth. Quote
Darth Caedus Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Grabbed half a dozen Gargoyles, 5 each of the Fly and Zombie, and 1-2 of all the rest (except the useless Witch). Still a fun series even if it's still the worst on record outside of the Shimpshons, can't wait for Series 15. Quote
Ridge Montante Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Went to my Toys r Us tonight and they didn't have any 14. But they had plenty of series 13 & 12! We always get the new themes and series late in my area. Quote
CM4Sci Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I was just told on Reddit my local LEGO Store got the minifigures the day AFTER I was just there! :laugh: Quote
Robert8 Posted August 28, 2015 Author Posted August 28, 2015 It seems this series was released early everywhere Even official LEGO stores Quote
AmperZand Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 This has probably already been mentioned, but does anyone else think that the gargoyle's headpiece presages a faun/satyr/Pan in a later series? It would have to be recoloured (perhaps in reddish brown) and printed differently of course. Quote
8BrickMario Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) It's possible, but satyrs generally weren't bald, nor did they have such pronounced brows... Edited August 28, 2015 by 8BrickMario Quote
BrickOn Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 This has probably already been mentioned, but does anyone else think that the gargoyle's headpiece presages a faun/satyr/Pan in a later series? It would have to be recoloured (perhaps in reddish brown) and printed differently of course. It's possible, but satyrs generally weren't bald, nor did they have such pronounced brows... So if they don't reuse the mould for a satyr or in some other way... does that mean we'll end up with a female gargoyle?? (with lipstick *runs and hides*) Quote
8BrickMario Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 If it had lipstick, it would still be grey. I imagine the Gargoyle's pieces could be used for some sort of imp in different colors. Quote
x105Black Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 (edited) The Gargoyle's wings would be great for a draconic race in different colors. I'd say dark green or black would both look awesome. Edited August 28, 2015 by x105Black Quote
Sir Brickalot Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 For UK users: Anyone found any in WHSmiths? Only I have a 20% off voucher for the whole of September and I wanna get a few of these. Quote
Wardancer Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 I did the rest of my shopping today when I found an untouched box.. 4 more gargoyles, 2 banshees and a wolf. The 4 gargoyle's bags were directly next to each other in the box, which was nice. Feeling the banshee got much easier when I realizes how big a footprint the footpiece actually has. The banshee's hands have a very beautiful color. Quote
Borex Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 (except the useless Witch) Those legs are useful for prisoners and for a custom absorbing man (marvel villain). Has anyone spotted them in the Netherlands? Quote
kasmca Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Has anyone seen the 14 series Minifigs out in Canada? Lego Store (Ferview mall) in Toronto had them out since Wednesday. Quote
Dannylonglegs Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Evidently the Branchburg (NJ) Lego store is sold out of them, as they released them last tuesday. Their next shipment will be in this Tuesday. How frustrating! I gotta get those flies! On an unrelated note, I picked up another sale-price Classic Space Mech while I was there looking for the minifigs. Shop clerk convinced me. That thing is such a steal! damn that shop clerk! This is why I'm always broke! ~Insectoid Aristocrat Quote
Hellfyre Posted August 28, 2015 Posted August 28, 2015 Today I managed to pick up a full set here in the UK - the TRU at Lakeside retail park, Thurrock to be exact. Quote
Ardelon Posted August 29, 2015 Posted August 29, 2015 I must say in my view that this series is tied with the Simpsons series 2 as 2nd „worst“ (as in unusable); the no.1 spot goes to the Simpsons series 1. Here are a few observations from the final pics. * Wolfman: A better werewolf than the previous CMF or the MF one, which, as someone above noted, rather looks like a bear. And nice to get the tail piece. * Zombie pirate: The beard really completes the minifig, but i do wish the splotches on his coat were a more natural brown than dark bley. Now I cant help thinking he splattered hmself with wet cement. * Fly: Im not a fan of the imbalance of the figure having only one claw. I guess its meant to be an incomplete transformation. Not to mention that flies dont have claws. But its a clever way of making people buy two of them. Not a fan of the green hairs either – it just messes up the black-and-red scheme. * Cat lady: looks more like a woman in a suit than a „monster“. Unless a kinky furry fetish girl with a whip is seen as monstrous. Reminds me of this pair of custom figures. * Gargoyle: One of the better figs, but still, I never associated gargoyles with shortness. Normal legs and bigger wings would have looked better. I wonder why they made the small wings at all, since they look much too small on any minifig. * Banshee: Intriguing fig, with the light sandgreen color. But not attractive for me. * Spider lady: The detail on her beehive is nice, but it makes the hairunuable in a normal setting. Quote
