Littleworlds Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Duh....am I the only one on the planet who does not know what a "Rogue" is? Hmmmmm. (I have more than one, but was kind of wondering what he does.) I think you can translate that word as "bandit". The brooch he is wearing also identifies him as member of the wolf pack, a group of bandits in the castle line long ago. Quote

1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) Went to my local TRU in MD. They weren't out. I then asked for the figs using the item number. The dude in the store went to the back and found a box but said he couldn't put it out because it had a sticker saying "Do not put out until September 1st". He wouldn't budge, even when I showed him the Brickset sightings and explained to him why the date was moved up, and how even Lego stores have it. He looked into the store messages trying to find if there was a communication from TRU to release the figs before but found none. He even contacted his supervisor, who apparently told him not to put it out yet... A very frustrating experience. Seems to be bad communication within TRU. Anyone with better luck finding these have any tips? I did call a TRU that told me that there were "none in the area", which seems not to be true after my experience.

mediumsnowman Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Thanks for the pictures guys! Very helpful in deciding what to get. I'll be getting the Spy, Bananaman, Mariachi, Wildlife Photographer, and Rogue with 76067 on August 1st. Quote
Tech Artist Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 (edited) Full size image Here are the 7 I got today in Gurnee,IL. It is possible to get the baby to be held it is just a matter of balancing. This is an amazing series and I can't wait to get them all! Edited July 23, 2016 by Tech Artist Quote
Legogal Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 :-) http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Fantasy+Rogue Thanks! Thief, burglar, scoundrel in war playing games....no wonder I had no idea who that was! (Dungeons and Dragons was never my cup of tea.) But I had heard the word used to describe a scoundrel or thief before, which did not help me ID the fig at all BTW! He does have a nice dark green hood, which could look great on a gal with the appropriate outfit....so not a total waste. (I can hear you guys groaning again....) Quote

Yeah, the "Rogue" is basically a medieval bandit Quote
Actor Builder Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 I got some today. My Toys R Us was mostly out of them already, so I only got a few of what I had hoped for... I got the Guitar Dude, the Ranger Guy and two Turban Mans. I had felt out the Spy as well, but I accidentally grabbed the second Turban Man I'd felt earlier instead. I was in a hurry. Quote
x105Black Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 I managed to find a few more Rogues at a Target today, and also picked up a couple more Scallywags and another Mariachi. I love the acoustic guitar piece, and the black outfit with silver detail is quite nice. Quote
Mr Greeble Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 I got some today. My Toys R Us was mostly out of them already, so I only got a few of what I had hoped for... I got the Guitar Dude, the Ranger Guy and two Turban Mans. I had felt out the Spy as well, but I accidentally grabbed the second Turban Man I'd felt earlier instead. I was in a hurry. I did that once. I grabbed the wrong packet from the two I identified and brought it up to the front of the store. I figured out it was the wrong one, but by the time I had gotten back to the box, somebody had taken it. Quote

The fellow I talked to came out of the back and said they had a Sept. 1 street date as well. I explained and he said he could run them through the scanner to see if there was a release on them. Sounds like your associate didn't bother to try. Quote

What exactly does "run them through the scanner" mean? As in using the little machine they usually carry around? Quote
K_Tiger Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 I believe he went to the front of the store and checked the computer. Quote
Vorkosigan Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 My Walmart put out a pair of boxes, they looked basically untouched this morning. Got all the figures I wanted except I passed on the hiker and am now thinking I need one . I have a feeling he'll be affordable on ebay so no big rush. All the figures I got are great, impressive detailing all around. Quote
just2good Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Toys"R"Us has the series available to buy on their website. What is pretty interesting is the description, which gives us the official names! Bring new and exciting play possibilities to existing LEGO® sets, with Series 16 of the LEGO Minifigures Collection, featuring a Desert Warrior, Penguin Boy, Ice Queen, Spy, Banana Guy, Hiker, Kickboxer, Spooky Boy, Rogue, Cyborg, Cute Little Devil, Dog Show Winner, Scallywag Pirate, Babysitter, Wildlife Photographer and a Mariachi. Each minifigure comes in a sealed 'mystery' bag, together with one or more accessories, plus a display plate, collector's leaflet and a unique game code that can be used to unlock the included minifigure's character in the online minifigure game, which is available as a paid download at www.playminifigures.com. - First off, they mention the non-existent game codes. - The Imp's official name is Cute Little Devil. - The Arabian Knight is Desert Warrior. - The Dog Show Judge is Dog Show Winner.

Vorkosigan Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Is it just me or are the colors all washed out on the TRU images. Quote
williejm Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Is it just me or are the colors all washed out on the TRU images. It's not just you. Quote

Got all the figures I wanted except I passed on the hiker and am now thinking I need one . I have a feeling he'll be affordable on ebay so no big rush. All the figures I got are great, impressive detailing all around. Was just gonna mention that Wal-Mart had started putting them out. Grabbed Desert Warrior, Rogue, Wildlife Photographer and Scallywag Pirate. Other than extras of the suits and Mariachi I think I'm good on this wave. January is so far...... Quote
SirBlake Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 January is far away. If memory serves, we've got a history of getting good leaks for the January waves, so hopefully we'll have a list by September and photos of some sort shortly after. Quote
Robert8 Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 January is far away. If memory serves, we've got a history of getting good leaks for the January waves, so hopefully we'll have a list by September and photos of some sort shortly after. Actually, it's the opposite. We get almost 0 info about the Jan waves until TLG unveils them. It happened with Series 9, TLM Series, Series 13 and Series 15. - First off, they mention the non-existent game codes. You know I sent an email to Funcom asking about the codes, and they said they didn't know yet if the codes will work. So, they didn't know LEGO didn't include the codes in the S16 leaflet! Quote
Kodan Black Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Hit my TRU while out today and got their last 3. I know 1 was the Queen who I wanted, not sure on the other 2. I'm hoping for dog show judge or hiker since I didn't get them yet. Quote
BrickFit26 Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 'Cute Little Devil' is a cute name for the kid. Quote
K_Tiger Posted July 23, 2016 Posted July 23, 2016 Yeah it is. Figured I'd try this swap before I put 'em in the case. Quote
