Not to be rude, but are you bad at feeling them or are you trying to get that many of each character?

Haha no problem. I haven't collected CMFs since series 3&4, but through feeling those i rarely had duplicates. It's not that i'm bad at feeling, but it's just that i find I'm not patient enough to feel around that much anymore. I've done it with the simpsons, but my strategy has been buying 4-6 each time so that's why I have a lot. Seems like a waste in some cases but these Simpsons are so awesome and useful I don't mind getting duplicates. So no, I wouldn't particularly call myself bad at it.

I found this series to be the easiest to feel for, if for the heads alone. That and some accessories like Bart's skateboard are obvious, but the tell-tale signs are the heads, especially since most characters have a tile like Grandpa's newspaper or Milhouse's comic.

meh, feeling up toy packets in the store makes me feel like a weirdo; I've had relatively good luck getting the ones I needed anyway, and just completed a trade with _epicster_ for all but 1 I was missing so it worked out for us both in the end ;)

Once I get your package I'll need one more!

Ha-ha - yea, people give me a weird look when I start feeling the bags (especially the employees). The funny part is, customers come up to me and ask, "What are you doing...Can you help me find this one?"

Haha, boy do I know that feeling. I usually get a few odd looks, but one time in Walmart the employees started hanging around nearby isles looking suspicious of me. :look:

It's worth it though, I've been collecting since series 2 and have never misidentified a figure before.

Bit of both, for kids it is the surprise part, but it has obvious reasons that it's called collectable minifigures ;) So they want you to get all of them, which obviously would be way too expensive with just blind grabbing!

Wow... Those are some horrific moulds there for those bootlegs but I'd say they're old... Even some of the lesser clone brands have moulds identical to the Lego ones now. My 5 yr old loves the CMF line now and has asked for the house! If only I though she's actually play with it rather than trash it I'd be tempted.

To be honest, the only characters I want are Apu and Ned... possibly Homer. Sadly, I haven't been to a LEGO store recently, so I haven't been able to feel for them. And I've yet to find any other walmart/target/kmart/etc near me that has them.

PS KCMatze, mind if I use your avatar? It's really cool.

PSS Tonif430, mind if I use your avatar sometime?
