CM4Sci Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Yes, I finally found the Prospector minifigure! This was a search that spanned three days and around fifteen Walgreens! Wow, you really needed those figures! -Sci Quote
jonwil Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Lets hope these hit Australia soon, I want some :) Quote
just2good Posted September 18, 2014 Posted September 18, 2014 Wow, you really needed those figures! -Sci Ha! I've just been bored and stressed recently, guess they took a lot off my mind. Quote
MicroJow Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 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! - MJ Quote
Robert8 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 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. The same goes with the Swashbuckler and the Rock Star chest. Bad quality printing in a $4 minifigure is... not awesome Quote

The Genie Girl situation is annoying, but interestingly enough the pamphlet shows her holding the lamp. Quote
8BrickMario Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 I think they meant that her tail was loose in the torso, not on the lamp. I'm going to hit up a TRU, Target, and Walgreens on Saturday, so I'm excited! Quote
JerseyManiac1 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Got them from the back at Target yesterday. Rang up at $2.99. All is well. Quote

Good luck, everyone! - MJ 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! Quote
8BrickMario Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 (edited) 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. Edited September 19, 2014 by 8BrickMario Quote
just2good Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 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! 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. Quote
jonwil Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 Remember that the CMFs are made in a different factory. That factory has probably not yet used up the mold with the cross underside. Quote
Robert8 Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 It sure is! 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. 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) Quote

I'd love a Gamer Girl or Prince Charming, but not until a year or two from now. Quote
Blondie-Wan Posted September 19, 2014 Posted September 19, 2014 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. Quote
BigPoppaBrick Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Managed to get the full set from a few different Tesco's in the UK. Was a few figures I wasn't too fussed on when they was announced but like them all now. Quote
Slurpifier Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Went out last night to buy groceries at my local Tesco, and an employee said they aren't expected to have S12 for another week and a half, which really is a shame :( Quote

Got to get me a Spooky girl and an Amazon Battle goddess, though! Quote
Zulithe Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 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. Quote
8BrickMario Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 I'm going to all of the CMF-selling stores today. I'm crossing my fingers. Quote
Hythonia Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 Oye, y'all are lucky. I went to two Targets AND Toys R Us yesterday and today, but no luck. :( That's what I get for living in Florida I guess. Quote
clonebricksNL Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 In the netherlands you can get 3 boxes at ones they have way to mutch for me to buy at my local store :) Quote
8BrickMario Posted September 20, 2014 Posted September 20, 2014 (edited) 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.

Maybe the S4 Ice Skater face or Marsha's face could work. Edited September 21, 2014 by Robert8 Quote
