CrazyDalton777 Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 I was looking at the Argos website for some LEGO and they have a sale of 20% which is good. There is a problem though. They have advertised Series 12 CMF as Series 14 (so they must have counted TLM and Simpsons as 12 and 13). http://www.argos.co.uk/static/Product/partNumber/2686824.htm
CptPJs Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 Not the worst thing ever, I think you're going to see that in a few shops from now on. They do some great sales, a few years back I got the Ninjago fire temple for half price, about £45, and got a free voucher as well.
klinton Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 I don't see why people insist on making a distinction, to be honest. They're all little LEGO people going to the same place on your shelves, displays and/or parts buckets. The LEGO Movie set especially doesn't feel any different from any other CMF wave. While the Simpsons are clearly very specific characters who's parts have limited use, their accessories (the hilight of any CMF wave, really) are as useful as any other wave. The coffee 'to go' cup in the Movie wave is, hands down, the greatest minifig accessory. Ever. :D
Aanchir Posted September 13, 2014 Posted September 13, 2014 This is a rather minor thing to criticize. If I had to criticize anything about the Argos website with regard to LEGO, it'd be that their Ninjago splash page hasn't been updated since 2011, and the videos at the top that used to be one of the most interesting features of the page (one included some interesting preliminary story and set info and images) no longer seem to exist. Its only current purpose is a guide to sets that they no longer even stock.
Blondie-Wan Posted September 14, 2014 Posted September 14, 2014 (edited) I think the OP was merely commenting on something (s)he found interesting or amusing, rather than really criticizing. That said, I can see some slight potential for a minor problem, for a customer who is interested in the Minifigures but doesn't follow the releases thereof quite as closely as we do - someone could perhaps acquire all of Series 12 and then see this listing and make a purchase expecting figures from a whole new series (s)he doesn't have any of at all, and be disappointed to receive the "old" figures.
