Tech Artist Posted March 7, 2016 Posted March 7, 2016 (edited) I just found 1 and half boxes at my Toys R' Us in Vernon Hills,IL. Picked up 10 bags. Employee was gracious enough to let me stand and feel them at customer service. I hope my feeling was correct and I got a lot of the ones I missed. We will see when I get home. Edit: I posted in the trading thread. I have 2 Laser Mechs and a Farmer if anyone is interested in trading. Edited March 7, 2016 by Tech Artist Quote
Bricknblue Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 That sucks. Though, i would like to get a couple from series 9 and back if i ever saw them at walmart. When I see old series in walmart shelves i feel like they should be discounted half off. I think it was series 12, maybe 11, it was not 10 or before for sure. I wish I bought the king, pig and unicorn, but oh well. Quote
blackknightrises Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Lego finally has this series back in stock on S@H. Hopefully this means I'll start seeing these more in stores. Nowhere that I have been the past few weeks has had them in stock at all. Quote

blackknightrises Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 Same here. I thought it was pretty obvious that there was no recall as other online sites (TRU) were still selling them. Quote
ChiefPie Posted March 8, 2016 Posted March 8, 2016 I've only seen Toys R us have the series 15 so far. I have to check walmart again since they were just putting up the new sets yesterday. If anyone can't find the series you should check 5 below because they do sell the CMF packs. Quote
appiah4 Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 There are about a million of these around where I live, and I can definitely feel a lot of shark guys in bags when I try.. Should I use the opportunity to stock up on a dozen of these guys? What else from this wave will be rare and valuable do you think? Quote

I have 3 and still don't have enough of him. It currently is my favorite Minifigure! :) Edited March 9, 2016 by Tech Artist Quote
Mr Greeble Posted March 9, 2016 Posted March 9, 2016 Going back this weekend to get more Frightening Knights and possibly a satyr. Quote
BrickFit26 Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 I'm gonna pick up a few possibly tomorrow or this weekend. Quote

Tech Artist Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 After some trades with EB members, I've completed this series! That makes 13, 14, and 15 all complete for me. Glad I could help! I'm missing 3 still and have a couple duplicate Laser Mechs to get rid of somehow. I'm actually hoping my local Lego Store has Series 15 back in stock tomorrow so I can get the 3 I am missing and earn Double VIP points while I am at it. Quote

---Vertea--- Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 BUY THEM ALL lol. Serisoulsy, though- That's an amazing deal. I've had luck here in Arizona finally, but someone has managed to find and take ALL of the shark suits from every case. Kinda sad, but I still got my 2 fauns, queen, robot, animal control, and Warrior, so all in all it turned out all right. Quote
K_Tiger Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 (edited) Grrrr, I was right next door to TrU today and didn't go in. Not that I need anything, but squirrelling away a couple more Knights, Left Sharks and Unicorn Suits for a rainy day wouldn't have hurt. Edited March 13, 2016 by K_Tiger Quote
Tech Artist Posted March 13, 2016 Posted March 13, 2016 Oh wow. Of course that sale happens. Ugh. I may get in on that and see if I can get a few more Sharks. Quote
Forresto Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) The closest target or TRU doesn't have any but guess which store is the only one that has them stocked. My local Giant If you aren't from the US Giant is a slightly overpriced food supermarket which toy wise is only known for selling 7/11 quality party favors. Otherwise they never carry anything nice. They also had the new Star Wars BPs. This is the first time they're carrying Lego it was bizarre walking in their seeing all that. Of course I left with a few astronauts and fauns Edited March 14, 2016 by Forresto Quote

Also, it's not just the Shark Guy, but the Queen, Farmer, Tribal Woman, and Animal Control Officer all disappear too. I always wonder how people manage to get there as soon as a box is opened. Or do they hang around outside stores waiting for it to happen? Quote
Nils_O Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Aaah, I just love that spaceman, what a freaking cool NCS look! The flag with the CS logo is extremely cool, too. I got one of these plus a "shark man" in my local toy store by touching and feeling the parts in the bag. Then I saw how cool the spaceman really is and ordered four more via BL in a store nearby. Now I'll just have to find a cool way to use these flags in a NCS model... Quote
appiah4 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 I could probably easily feel and find about half a dozen shark guys for anyone interested, I'd be more than happy to trade with any Series 13 or earlier CMFs, particularly warrior type minifigures.. Feel free to contact me if you wish. Quote
froggy95 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Has anyone else run across this 2/$5 deal at their TRU? I checked my ad and did not see it. I assume it varies from store to store? Quote

Actor Builder Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 My local Toys "R" Us had the 2 for $5.00 Deal going on. I bought six. I'll probably go back sometime. However, a few of the figures have some slight quality issues. A weird line on Sharkman's nose, the Faun's flute had some weird extra plastic attached, etc. This is the first time I've seen this in CMFs. Perhaps LEGO knew that this batch had questionable quality and advised retailers to put them on sale? Quote
Robert8 Posted March 14, 2016 Author Posted March 14, 2016 (edited) I've seen a lot of reports of quality issues as well. A Shark Guy with 2 torsos and no mask A Shark Guy with printing issues A Faun with 2 flutes A Farmer with 2 pitchforks A Tribal Woman with no head Edited March 14, 2016 by Robert8 Quote
pittpenguin123 Posted March 14, 2016 Posted March 14, 2016 Some one got a janitor with a flute for a handle. Quote
