CM4Sci Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Any sightings at Walmart? You can buy them online from Walmart, if you're willing to pay Toywiz's price. Quote
fatsomania Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 You can buy them online from Walmart, if you're willing to pay Toywiz's price. Actually meant from Walmart stores, but that probably means no, right? (definitely not interested in Toywiz's price) Quote
Boettner Builds Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 (edited) I grabbed a bunch from a Northern California TRU yesterday :) Edited July 25, 2016 by redtrooper27 Quote
telaruhn Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Is there a better photo of the Series 16 figures than the one that's on the TRU website? It's not particularly high-res or true-to-color, but... There are a couple of interesting features with that photo, namely: 1) none of the figures are holding accessories in their hands, 2) the Spy doesn't appear to have his pistol, suggesting it was a last-minute addition, and 3) the Penguin Boy is wearing his skates while on the baseplate, suggesting he's simply resting on top of the center two studs. I noticed on the packet photo that the Ice Queen was never supposed to use the new dress piece, but the ice blade she's holding sure made it look like it... And that's why her hand/arm looked weird in the very first photo of the packet... Quote
SAnthonyK Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Any sightings at Walmart? Yes, I got two of my penguins at a WalMart last night. Quote
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted July 25, 2016 Posted July 25, 2016 Can anyone take a picture of the Banana dude next to its soulmate, the Hot Dog Suit guy? Quote

Tech Artist Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 LEGO just sucks with this thing called "internet" right? What's this internet you speak of? Sounds interesting. Quote
x105Black Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 It is done. Finally. If I wasn't so busy working 12 hour shifts, I would have dropped by rob-ot5000's place to do it myself. Either way, I'm glad it's done. It's a wonderful revelation. Quote
mediumsnowman Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 TRU only had 6 left. Felt them up, grabbed a Hiker, Spy, and Dog Show Winner. Left a Desert Warrior, Pirate, and a second Hiker behind. Slim pickings around these parts! Quote
ACPin Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Can anyone take a picture of the Banana dude next to its soulmate, the Hot Dog Suit guy? Got one better! AC Quote
Actor Builder Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 It is done. YES! This is it! This, at long last is the True Mythical Legendary Marvelous Evil Penguin Loop Of Lore! We did it! Oh, how grand. I'm actually really surprised everyone else thought it was as cool as I did, usually I think of these things and everyone else is like "That's dumb". We did it. Thanks SAnthonyK! You're a hero. Quote

KevinMD Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Here's the supposed box distribution - 5 each Banana Guy Arabian Knight Spy 4 each Serenader Imp Hiker Rogue Dog Show Judge Spooky Boy 3 each Babysitter Pirate Cyborg Ice Queen Penguin Kickboxer Wildlife Photographer Also, Spy's goggles apparently don't lift up but they are a separate piece. Just cracked a box and the wife and I are showing 5 Rogues and 4 Arabian Knights. Everything else I agree with. Haven't opened anything yet (and won't open them all anyway) so may have to wait for whitefang to confirm. -Kevin Quote
cedille Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 They're available on Lego's site now... for purchase at least. I just ordered 32. They don't specify otherwise, so I'm assuming they're in stock/ready to ship, but I've been wrong before. Quote
Forresto Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 I live in the Chesapeake Bay region, US east coast and I have not seen any of the new series yet. Does anyone know how common hikers are? I want to outlit rebel troopers with his pants. Oh my god the symbol in the penguin loop is rather unfortunate....Who would have thought adding a simple stud onto the back of a lego penguin could do that. The swastika is even the facist direction and not the buddhist way Quote

Haven't opened anything yet (and won't open them all anyway) so may have to wait for whitefang to confirm. -Kevin Interesting that you mention that - ACPin's Rogue Brotherhood MOC on the Historic forum has 15 of the Rogue figures in it, and he mentioned that his lego store put out 3 full boxes, so it makes sense that there's 5 Rogues per box. A much better alternative to 5 Desert Warriors. Quote
AmperZand Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 The swastika is even the facist direction and not the buddhist way Buddhism uses both orientations. I believe Hinduism and Jainism do too. I seem to recall that some Native American tribes use the symbol, but I'm not sure which tribes or what orientation. The penguins in the photograph only show a figure-ground Nazi swastika when seen from the pictured side. If you rotated the four penguin assembly 180 degrees around the axis between SAnthonyK's fingers, the swastika would appear reversed. Quote
K_Tiger Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Any sightings at Walmart? I've seen them at two in the area. Can anyone take a picture of the Banana dude next to its soulmate, the Hot Dog Suit guy? Could someone post a pic of Skeleton Guy, Wacky Witch and Cute Little Devil together? Please *pic snip* Edited July 26, 2016 by K_Tiger Quote
telaruhn Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 The listing on S@H is updated with the official photo. Not quite hi-res, but at least the colors are better! Quote

appiah4 Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 Mind is made.. Banana suit, Imp suit, penguin suit, Hiker, Rogue and Operative will be mine. Quote
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted July 26, 2016 Posted July 26, 2016 (edited) Lego has now announced these on Facebook and Twitter. It says "coming soon". Edited July 26, 2016 by BrickHat Quote
