Tech Artist Posted January 29, 2016 Posted January 29, 2016 (edited) Saw Toys R' Us was selling Series 15 on their website, immediately went down to to my local store to see if maybe they were selling it, no luck. Check Target while I was at it, nothing. So elusive before the 1st. :( Current plans are to go to my local Lego store on the 1st right when they open and get them. Going for 2 Left Shark(I will always call him this), Bandage Guy and one of the animals. I am also picking up Wall-E(will make sure they have the fixed neck otherwise I'm ordering it from S@H).

BrickFit26 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 My laser mech has misprinted head. The pattern is printed too high and when you put helmet correctly it is partially covered. The same thing I Have with Batman from polybag. That sucks, if you contact LEGO and let them know, they will probably give you a free blind bag. Quote
parsom Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 I did it. And they responded: "Just like you, we receive the minifigures in their prepacked mystery bags, so we don’t have individual replacement parts. We are sorry but we cannot send individual parts to your minifigure. " Quote

We are sorry but we cannot send individual parts to your minifigure. " I can't tell which country you're in because I'm on the mobile site, but if you're in the UK, you can return it to the store - online or off - from which you bought it and they have to offer you either a replacement or a refund (their choice). If they offer a replacement, it will probably be another blind packaged minifig. However, you can request to feel for a mech if it's a bricks & mortar store. They don't have to accede to that request, but if you explain, they probably will. Quote
preroller Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 found them at the local Walmart. got all I was looking for except tribal woman, faun, and clumsy guy. going back to re feel, someone might have got them already. there was 1 queen left, so I picked up her, 2 farmers, 2 knights, 1 each of astronaut, animal control, shark guy. Quote
OmShanti Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 I still need to get the Astronaut, Laser Mech, Kendo Fighter, and Frightening Knight. I want to get a second farmer, tribal woman, and animal control officer. I don't care for the shark suit guy, ballerina, and wresting champion. My Queen is lonely without her King, since I missed out on getting him from series 13; I got him for my boyfriend instead. Quote

It isn't big problem for me. But it is irritating - like cracks in some bricks (mostly cheese slopes). Quote
AmperZand Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 I'm in Poland. However it isn't store's fault, it's LEGO fault. And LEGO should do something with this. Don't know about Polish consumer law, but in most countries the sales contract is between you, the buyer, and the store, the seller. There's no contract between you and the manufacturer, LEGO. So if there's something wrong, the store is responsible, not the manufacturer. The store can claim from the distributor/manufacturer, but that's not your problem. Quote
Silverwolf28 Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Hello guys. I've been lurking around Eurobricks for the several weeks. I've collected some Monster Fighters, Star Wars, Speed Champions and various minifigures over the past 2 years. I'm in the Raleigh/Durham NC area. I have found Series 15 at various Targets around Raleigh. So far, I have gotten the Laser Mech, Golden Warrior, Kendo Fighter, Janitor, 2 Shark Guys, 3 Indian Women, 3 Clumsy Guys, and 2 Wrestlers. I'm not that good at the whole bag feeling thing. I would like to get that Astronaut and Knight if I can find them. I'm keeping both of my sharks but the extra 2 indian women, 2 clumsy guys and 1 wrestler I wouldn't mind trading if anybody is interested. Quote

rodiziorobs Posted January 30, 2016 Posted January 30, 2016 Finally had a chance to stop by my local Target, got most of what I wanted: 1 Tribal Woman, 1 Queen, 1 Animal Control, 1 Jewel Thief, 1 Evil Knight (I still want two more), and 3 Ballerinas. I had found a Faun and thought I put him aside, but must have forgotten to pick it up when I was done, so I still need one of him. I also would like a Farmer, and at least two Winged Warriors. Quote

Vorkosigan Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 So I have gotten 3 fauns so far (on purpose) and 2 of them are missing the flute. Bummer since they won't send replacement parts. Quote
telaruhn Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 So I have gotten 3 fauns so far (on purpose) and 2 of them are missing the flute. Bummer since they won't send replacement parts. Not to question your thoroughness, but are you sure? Sometimes 3L bars get stuck underneath the baseplate... That happened to me with the S13 Snake Charmer. If you're certain about it, then that stinks :[ the flute is such a nice versatile part... Quote
Boettner Builds Posted January 31, 2016 Posted January 31, 2016 Second Target I went to today had them! Now I have 2 complete sets + extras (that I wanted) so from here out its army building time!!! :) Quote

I bet either myself or another customer pushed it in there while feeling the bag. Quote

Busta Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) Got my hand on few more. Seems to be popping up in stores here in Finland. Simply amazing mini-figures! I think this might be the best series so far. The shark guy is the only one I am not interested, but I quess that is just not my cup of tea. Edited February 1, 2016 by Busta Quote
Robert8 Posted February 1, 2016 Author Posted February 1, 2016 It's February 1st and you know what that means: Series 15 is now available everywhere* *Except Antarctica Quote
K_Tiger Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 It's February 1st and you know what that means: Series 15 is now available everywhere* *Except Antarctica We'll see. My first instinct would be to hit TrU, but by the time they (or most of the Wal-Marts in the area) put them out I'd slated my thirst for the line. Target will be an equal waste of time (thanks for nothing, Simpsons Series 2). Perhaps the stores in my area are just lazy? Quote

Target will be an equal waste of time (thanks for nothing, Simpsons Series 2). Perhaps the stores in my area are just lazy? I plan on going to my local Lego Store. I am gonna be there right when they open. Already know which minifigs I want(not going for a full set atm); Left Shark, Bandage Guy, Tribal Lady, and one of the animal figs. Also getting Wall-E finally! I am excited that today is the 1st at last. I've wasted too much gas checking my local stores only to come up empty. Edited February 1, 2016 by Tech Artist Quote
telaruhn Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 (edited) I hit TRU yesterday, and they only had Series 14... The associate I talked to put out a brand new box and said it was the latest series they had gotten. Target, on the other hand, had Series 15, and like others, I had to ask an associate to get a box from the back using the DPCI. Got a full set plus extras for my girlfriend. They're all really great figures, but standouts for me are the Faun, Flying Warrior, Jewel Thief, Janitor, Tribal Woman, Laser Mech, Ballerina, and Frightening Knight.

Tech Artist Posted February 1, 2016 Posted February 1, 2016 Highly recommend going to your local Lego Store. They had pre-felt bags(not a guarantee of course). The only one I had to search for on my own was bandage guy. Ended up picking up 2 Left Shark, Bandage Guy, Indian, and The Queen. Also finally got Wall-E! I'll get the rest later as I need to save the rest of my refund for more important stuff. It feels good to finally have enough money to buy a bunch of Lego for once. :) Quote
