Lego Surprise Minifigure rant

[labdogs42]

anyone know of a list of what series 1 looks like?

Are the bar codes different in the Lego.com from other stores? I bought 4 on Lego.com and the bar codes for all 4 are 7341913048. This code is not on the pdf. So I'm not sure which mystery figures I have. Before I go all over town looking has someone been able to find the bar codes on this pdf at Walmart, Target, etc?

If you find them in stores and have some patients, each of the 16 minifigures has a unique barcode on the back so you can tell which one you are getting.

Where are people finding them in Walmart?
I hunted all over mine and couldn't find them. Asked someone working in the toy dept-turns out it wasn't his normal area, so he was no help (showed me weebles!).

There are two barcodes on the package. The one has numbers and they are all the same. The other one is smaller with no numbers. That is the one that is different for the different figures.

last week DS bought a couple at Walmart for 1.98 each...I thought that was a great price!

I agree about TRU jacking up prices....

WE have a b-day party to go to this weekend and the boy wants HP Legos, the one set in TRU is 24.99 (with 10% off this week so it was 22 and change). Target has it for $19.99!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! And it's not even on sale!


So check the prices!

What section of walmart did you find them in? TIA

The figures were in a small cardboard display on an endcap. Not by the lego section. Go figure! (ha!)

wal mart should have them through out the season..
there is supposed to be shipments coming in to our store quite frequently the next few weeks.
for trick or treat and stocking stuffers..
FYI

I think the packaging is misleading - I was so excited at first believing there were 6 mini-figs in each package...then read the fine print.

Seriously...for ONE mini-fig?

I'd rather save all that money and put towards a bigger set. DS has got the Lego Battle of Endor set on his Christmas list already.

I have been picking them up at 5 Below and been doing pretty well at just feeling them. The bar coder will be really helpful, thanks for posting.

I was just at legoland and Downtown Disney lego store and neither would even let me pick my own. I just walked out not buying a thing. Last time the lady picked at DTD I got 3 out of 6 that were the same. I am not even asking for enough time to decode the package, just let ME pick them! They can keep their legos (today atleast, LOL!). But for us to walk out of both places without one lego over those stupid little ones is really big for us.

The Lego people at the Mall of America are so nice! We picked out 5 last weekend and the lady made sure none of them were the same. We paid $1.99 and got the double points. Today my DH and DS went back and my DH told her which ones we had and she made sure none of them were doubles of what we were buying or of what we had.
