Yes, I finally found the Prospector minifigure! This was a search that spanned three days and around fifteen Walgreens! :grin:

Wow, you really needed those figures! :tongue:

Just wanted to post an update: first, I posted the incorrect Target DPCI in my above post. I have corrected it. The correct DPCI number is 204 000 261.

And I got lucky today: not only did I find a Target willing to bring the minifigures out for me, but they rang up at $2.99 each. Hooray!

Good luck, everyone!

Ha! I've just been bored and stressed recently, guess they took a lot off my mind.

I hate the tail/bottom piece from the Genie Girl keeps falling. The same thing happened to me with the S6 Genie and I had to buy another one. It bothers me that they didn't fix that. And for $4 it's even worse. :damn:

The same goes with the Swashbuckler and the Rock Star chest. Bad quality printing in a $4 minifigure is... not awesome :thumbdown:

Yeah, I'm fine with the Rocker's chest but the Swashbuckler's is awful. The Genie Girl situation is annoying, but interestingly enough the pamphlet shows her holding the lamp.

Thanks to MJ for the tip! I was able to score some too at $2.99, but be careful as prices vary per store! I ran across stores that were asking $3.54 for them, and I passed hearing that MJ found them for $2.99. Great tip!

Just2good's review is up!

Strange that the pizza uses the cross instead of the tube. Not that it would need a central stud connection, though.

It sure is! :classic:

No pictures here as WhiteFang's reviews are already GOAT. I do wish it had the tube. It'd make the pizza easier to hold.

Great review!

Now I see the Wizard's cape is purple (it looked navy to me) and the Rock Star chest has good quality printing. Maybe the lighting in the other video made the yellow look darker.

That teddy bear is getting overused, just like the S1 Nurse hairpiece. :wacko:

I'd prefer the Jester to have more printing in the face, maybe a colored eye like the MMO Jester. His face looks kinda generic, which I don't like in a CMF.

For counterparts of these minifigures I'm guessing Gamer Girl (with PLAYER 2 shirt), Spooky Boy and Prince Charming (and maybe Evil Wizard)

Thank you! I'd love a Gamer Girl or Prince Charming, but not until a year or two from now.

Today I encountered Series 12 in person for the first time today, at a Walmart in the Atlanta area. Unfortunately, not only were there only five packets there, but every single one had been opened, with loose parts falling out onto the shelves, etc.

Oh, well. I plan to buy them at a LEGO Store anyway. It's still annoying to see the results of other people being jerks, but nice to see them out in the wild for myself.

Well, it is a Wal-Mart afterall. :wink:

Got to get me a Spooky girl and an Amazon Battle goddess, though!

Thanks to Walgreens I have all of series 12, in fact I almost have two full sets... just need another Jester. I'll be on the lookout for more boxes once they hit TRU and LEGO stores.

This is what I found at my TRU:

The packets of the minifigures I found! There was another man who asked me "if I found the goth girl", so I was racing to find the Spooky Girl before he could. She was in a pile of minifigures he had already searched, and she was the last one I checked.

And here they are! I like both of them a lot.

I experimented with different pieces to give them.

For the Genie Girl, the first thing I did was try out the Intergalactic Girl's face on her (suggested as a solution to the wink). And it's fine, but I don't prefer it. It just doesn't feel right for the character.

I then put on some legs.

And just for fun, I gave her the Starlet's dress. It looks surprisingly good on her!

For Spooky, I tried out some hair that makes her look more like Wednesday:

I like these two a lot, and it's fun to try these parts out on them. I highly recommend them.

With the S6 Intergalactic Girl face she looks like she knows your wish is going to backfire and she is enjoying it.

Maybe the S4 Ice Skater face or Marsha's face could work.
