K-Nut Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 "How many dwarves are enough?" As many as you can carry. I'm about 1/5 of the way there because I need at least 10. Quote
Bubastis Posted September 17, 2011 Posted September 17, 2011 "How many dwarves are enough?" No idea, but I'm up to 31. I don't display them as dwarves, though. I give them normal black feet, leave the beard and put on the gladiator's face. They are supoorting my dragon knights. Quote
Dreamweb Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Last week I bought 9 random Series 5 minifigs - 4 of them turned out to be Royal Guards! Quite surprising, considering the odds. I'm quite happy with that, as they'll blend nicely into my Pirate LEGO collection. Quote
TheLegoDr Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 No idea, but I'm up to 31. I don't display them as dwarves, though. I give them normal black feet, leave the beard and put on the gladiator's face. They are supoorting my dragon knights. That was my plan. I love the torsos. Although I only have 5 and was quite satisfied with that. Amazing that you have 31 already! It took me forever to find the 5. Quote
orkira Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I bought 18 packs from my local Five Below yesterday and got 1x Small Clown, 2x Boxer, 2x Royal Guard, 1x Lumberjack, 1x Zookeeper, 1x Graduate, 2x Cave Woman, 1x Detective, 1x Ice Fisherman, 1x Evil Dwarf, 2x Gladiator, 1x Gangster, and 2x Fitness Instructor. Not bad for only buying 18 packs IMO. I only need the Snowboarder Guy, Egyptian Queen (which was the reason why I bought so many packs was hoping to pull her), and Lizard Man. I wasn't able to feel any of the packs as the manager told me no searching them. :( Quote
crossmr Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 I hadn't bought any of these before. On a whim, I picked up a couple yesterday and got a Detective and a Fitness instructor. After looking through them, I found a few I wouldn't mind having and went and bought 6 more today. Really lucked out. 2x boxers 1x gladiator 1x dwarf 1x cavewoman 1x zookeeper I really wanted the boxer, dwarf and gladiator the other two, I'm neither here nor there on. I really want to snag a lumberjack, he's pure Canadian, and a Royal Guard. From series 4 about the only thing I'm really interested in is the Hockey player and the viking, maybe the musketeer. So even though they still have some series 4 packs there, I probably won't buy them. Quote
Ogre Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Was at the new Fairview Mall store (Toronto, Canada) and couldn't resist any longer: I bought my first five Series 5 figs (blind grab, no feeling of pouches). Scored fairly well. No dupes at least. Cleopatra, Zookeeper, Boxer, Snowboarder and suprise, suprise, my first Gladiator! Sweeeet! Quote
Stardusty Posted October 2, 2011 Posted October 2, 2011 Since I've completed series 4,I've decided I'll complete every next CM series, including CM Series 5. Currently, I'm buying Gladiators (bought nine already), and I'm selling them for 5$ (sold five already) so I can get more money for other CMS5 figs and LEGO sets. Being a TFOL is not a LEGO fan's dream. Quote
The Player Nº1 Posted January 7, 2012 Posted January 7, 2012 Can anyone give me the link to the HDR images? Quote
Canada_7 Posted January 30, 2012 Posted January 30, 2012 Bit of a bump but I remember hearing how there are still plenty of Series 5 minifigures available...I was wondering if anyone could list me a few places in Ontario, Canada that might still have these? I'm looking to get one more graduate minifigure as a gift. Quote
TheBoyWonder Posted January 31, 2012 Posted January 31, 2012 I am laughing when I hear people say they are struggling to find Gladiators and Cleopatras. In one journey, I purchase 6 bags. 3 gladiators and 3 Egyptian queens. I see a little kid moaning that he can't find them, so I go over and give him 1 of each. He looks very happy and the parents buy me 3 more packets, as they have been searching for them two for weeks, as they are the kids favorite. Boxer, Zookeeper no.2 and detective no.2. Quote
CtotheP Posted February 9, 2012 Posted February 9, 2012 I just got an extra Evil Dwarf (unopened) today if anyone wants to trade for a Graduate(Series 5), or pretty much anything from Series 3. Quote
GeluNumber1 Posted February 11, 2012 Posted February 11, 2012 I completed series five last year. Gotta say, I love 'em all, though my favorite is the gladiator. Quote
just2good Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 (edited) One of my local Walmarts had a couple hundred of Series 5 packs! I'm not that familiar with Series 5, so which figures are the most popular? Also, I posted this video displaying the craziness of the mound of Series 5. Edited February 12, 2012 by just2good Quote

I have a local Walmart that probably has 8 cases worth of Series 5 for sale at 50% off price. Is it worth it to purchase some at $1.48 plus tax for them? Quote

GeluNumber1 Posted February 17, 2012 Posted February 17, 2012 (edited) The Walgreens in St. Paul, Minnesota, had three S5. Is Walgreens having minifigures now, or is this something I've been missing? Edited February 21, 2012 by GeluNumber1 Quote
just2good Posted February 20, 2012 Posted February 20, 2012 I'm almost done with Series 5, as I got the Egyptian Queen, the Graduate, and the Gladiator at the Walmart with today. I never knew the Gladiator had a gold finish on it. Now I know why it is so saught after. Also, my Graduate's cape keeps on popping up. Is there any easy and safe way to flatten it? Quote

just2good Posted February 25, 2012 Posted February 25, 2012 I finally finished Series 5 today! I got the Lizard Man and Dwarf at a distant Walmart today. They still had at least 5 boxes of Series 5! Quote
warrior44 Posted March 3, 2012 Posted March 3, 2012 Series 5 Minifigure boxes at Walmart. If anyone needs them, email me. Most of the boxes are opened but I would estimate there is probably 7-8 boxes remaining. Walmart is selling them at 1.58 each minifigure. Quote
Lucanik-san Posted March 8, 2012 Posted March 8, 2012 (edited) Found two days ago the Boxer (my favourite in Series 5 along with the gladiator) at first try <3, together with the Zookeeper and the Graduate. Yesterday I bought 4 more pack, containing another Zookeeper, a cavewoman, an Egyptian Queen, and a Detective. Edited March 8, 2012 by Lucanik-san Quote
Lucanik-san Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Update: bad luck yesterday. On six packs I found two Zookeepers, another detective, another cavewoman, and, the only missing, a British Royal Guard, immediately followed by another Guard. Much better today. A cavewoman first, but then three missing in a row: the Evil Dwarf, the Ice Fisherman and the Clown. Quote
ACWWgal2011 Posted March 9, 2012 Posted March 9, 2012 Couldn't resist them for a dollar a pack so i got 3 evil dwarfs, a royal guard, lizard man, and gladiator yesterday. Quote
Lucanik-san Posted March 12, 2012 Posted March 12, 2012 Six more packs today, three of which containing missing minifigs: Lizard Man, Lumberjack and Fitness Instructor. Three more (Gladiator, Gangster, Snowboarder) to go. I just can't find that damn Gladiator :( I envy you, ACWW. Quote
