TheLegoDr Posted January 14, 2016 Posted January 14, 2016 They had some at Target over this last week here in Nebraska. But they sold out quickly obviously. I only checked one Target though, so I don't know if they were put out at the others or at TRU (I never go there). So there is hope for finding some early. Quote
BrickFit26 Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Agreed, at first glance I wasn't impressed by him, but the level of detail, especially when I compare him to series 1 astronaut, is excellent. Thats how i was too, when I first saw him i wasn't impressed, but once I saw all the detail i loved it. Just a question about CMF boxes in general. Has every box the same content ? I bought many boxes and they all had the same content leaving me with the same spares. The numbers are axact the same as in the review of whitefang. So I guess all boxes have the same content. Ha, yo answered your own question They're indeed the same. Quote
telaruhn Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Well, it's good to hear that they're around in the US now. I'll be looking for them at TRU and Target sometime this weekend... Quote
OmShanti Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 It's nice to hear they've been popping up in the US, I'm going to keep an eye out for them. Hopefully I get lucky. Quote
AmperZand Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Turned up at my local WHSmiths today Where in the UK is your local WHS? Ten more. Are your astronauts in distress? Most of them are flying their flags upside-down. Is that to save themselves the embarrassment of having turned up in the same outfit? Quote
MAB Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 The case ratios have always been the same, with the exception of Mr Gold back in Series 10. No, they haven't. Series 3 had boxes with two different distributions. Quote
HawkLord Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 No, they haven't. Series 3 had boxes with two different distributions. Source? I'd never heard that when I was collecting Series 3. Quote

MAB Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 (edited) Source? I'd never heard that when I was collecting Series 3. Well, in the original review, Whitefang got 2 Fishermen. In this thread, http://www.eurobrick...showtopic=53391, people mentioning finding at least three per box (although it is not clear if they opened the boxes themselves). I bought a sealed box in Jan 2011 and got four. It is also discussed here, for example, http://brickset.com/...rent-to-the-usa, where it was thought that European boxes were being packed with a different distribution to USA ones. But distributions of four fishermen were also found in the USA. It seems that the early boxes (and Whitefang's would have been an early one) had only 2 fishermen, whereas later runs had 4 fishermen. Not surprisingly, it was also reflected in the availability and secondary market price of fishermen. They were hard to get and expensive on BL, then became rather common and cheap at a faster rate than the others in the series. (I know they all start off with smaller numbers and more expensive at the start, then gradually drop as the set is more widely available and still in stores.) Edited January 15, 2016 by MAB Quote
Brickr Posted January 15, 2016 Posted January 15, 2016 Ascot Whoop Whoop! I'll be down to WHS tomorrow! Quote
BrickFit26 Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 I'll be checking Target soon to see if they're up on display and ready for sale. Quote

Amazing Bricks Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 I'll have to check my local target, I hope I can finally get my hands on these suckers. Quote
OmShanti Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Still no Series 15 anywhere but a fresh new box of Monsters was out today at Five Below. Quote
Boettner Builds Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 I'm in the San Francisco bay area, and none of the Targets, TRUs, Walmarts, CVSs, of Walgreens I've checked have series 15 yet. I'm still seeing plenty of series 14 monsters, though. I'm in the north Bay Area, nothing up here yet. All of the series 14 is gone though... Quote

Sir Gareth Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 What is the Target DCPI number for this series? Quote
CM4Sci Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 What is the Target DCPI number for this series? Same as always - 204-00-1379 :) Quote
Sir Gareth Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Same as always - 204-00-1379 :) Doh, forgot that it never changes. Thanks again, Sci! Quote
Amazing Bricks Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Anyone on here from US, actually finding these in stores? Quote
eanair Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Two boxes in a toy shop in my town (Wexford, Ireland) - I got the clumsy guy and samurai. I want want want the wrestler and the Native American lady. Quote
OmShanti Posted January 16, 2016 Posted January 16, 2016 Anyone on here from US, actually finding these in stores? I think a select few have been lucky, but mostly no. They're scheduled to be released in February. So I'm guessing that if they do show up early, it probably won't be until the last week of January. Quote
BrickFit26 Posted January 17, 2016 Posted January 17, 2016 TheBrickFan posted a pic of several people who have found them at the local targets in the US. Lucky them. Quote
