I have sadly not been able to locate any of these in any of the usual places. I'll have to keep waiting, for now.

Got some knights. They make fine Elves.

It's funny the small shops have them and the main toy shops don't.

Same here. I've almost missed the display numerous times because they move them around so much.

So have I, i always have to check every aisle just to make sure i didn't miss them. The first time i noticed the move was when they placed them close to the electronics check out, i thought it was so they can keep an eye out on the people who feel. But They move around all the time.

The closest Target to me likes to put them in the action figure aisle. They also carry the Megabloks figures there.

Mine did that too one year lol

Target DCPi came in handy. After much searching, I did find a mostly empty box of monsters on an end cap. I asked a guy to look it up for me. He found the listed location and he couldn't find them. He then grabbed a shiny new orange box and I went to feeling. Got what I and my daughter wanted (11 total) and left the rest. He said he was going to put them back in the store room so they can go in the hanging display later.

It was nice to get to a fresh box, but I feel a little bad about grabbing all the Knights. Sorry West 7th in Fort Worth. :-)

Anyone have luck finding these at TRU yet? I keep checking brickseek to see if any Target stores near me are getting new shipments but no luck. I have really spotty luck asking employees at the store, I always seem to get a different answer as to what they do or don't have, and they seem really reluctant to EVER check the back for anything no matter how I ask.

Ugh, same.

"Can you at least check the stockroom back there?"

"Sorry man, if this thing (the DPCI checker device) says we don't have it, we don't, man, sorry."

Do you know the DCPi number or the UPC? The only image I've been able to find was a the one from Brickfan but they have the label from The Simpsons series which doesn't help me.

5702015594646 is the UPC, 204-00-1379 is the DCPI.

Can't find anything using the UPC. The DCPI is the same one from this image: http://www.thebrickf...g-up-at-target/

This brings up: LEGO Minifigures May Series (1Display of 6100804=60 Total Bags of 71009)

This is the Simpsons Series not Series 15(Series 15 is 71011). So unless they are going to use the same DCPI then it doesn't help.

Edited January 21, 20169 yr by Tech Artist

They are indeed using the same DCPI. All CMF series use the same DCPI.

I haven't found anything using that UPC either. It was taken from a picture of the back of the series 15 minifigure package, though, so it's good.

I managed to find a box of series 15 at Target today, and got a bunch. I had to ask an associate to get the box from the stock room, giving her the DCPI.

Damn. I may just have to ask. Is there an actual release date?

February 1st.

Complicated day at target, but I finally got my hands on these. At first, the employee said they had 33 somewhere in the store, but he couldn't locate them and didn't help. The whole minifigure series end cap was empty at the time. I came back to that spot about twenty minutes later and saw them on the end cap. Got the ones I needed. Anyways, the guy was no help, but I'm glad I went back to see them.

Hey guys, I'm new to CMF collecting, and I've been noticing a lot of people really liking the crutch guy, but why? To me, he looks pretty ordinary. I'm not criticising it, I'm just curious to know WHY he's liked.

He opens up new possibilities in the lego medical world and the crutch piece is also new.

I don't find him all that interesting, either. He is full of parts that could be useful elsewhere, however. One of those cases where the sum total isn't greater than that of the constituent parts.

But, as always, different strokes and all that.

So my search has still come up empty. At this point, I'm done and waiting till my local Lego store has them on February 1st. I managed to get my hands on some series 13 so that was at least a plus. Also I read Walgreens might still have some series 12 but I'm not 100% sure. My local one said they did but they were not actually in stock.

I think he's well designed, unique, and of course, has good parts and nice head print that has many uses.

JUST got back from Target (finally found one stocking this series), stand by for a full report...

Final results, this trip:

Astronaut x1

Frightening Knight x1

Clumsy Guy x2

Flying Warrior x2

Faun x1

Animal Control Officer x1

Janitor x3

Ballerina x1

Laser Mech x1

Kendo Fighter x1

Shark Suit Guy x2

Wrestling Champion x1

Jewel Thief x1

Queen x2

Me and the Wife misfelt a few, she didn't feel some at all, but in the end I'm very happy! Next week, round 2. I have to finish this series and army build!!!!

For me, the bandage piece looks like it could work very well as a not-as-poofy Turban piece.

The crutches don't look great when held, but leaning in a corner they could be good detailing.

Also, the crutches will almost certainly be used as interesting new clip pieces in some MOCs.

Still no luck finding these anywhere in my area. My target didn't even stock the new Lego sets that were released January 1st until the 16th. They're ridiculous and way behind here, it's kind of awful.

I found the Tribal Woman and the Farmer in a small independent toy shop today.

news i said about TRU in johnstown was wrong they made room for halo poly bags for megablocks
