if you ordered those from TRU don't hold your breath since they have been cancelling online sales of the figs now for over a day, and if you ordered them from LEGO then even more goodluck since they have been cancelling massive orders and if they ship its not a whole order one guy ordered 60 they shipped him 15 anther ordered 60 and his order was cancelled, and this was in the first hour of the limit being removed from LEGO. also ship date does not guerantee shipping until its been shipped and the money removed from your accoutn thats what someone found out today, they got the same info you did and then found out only 15 were shipped.

ok got all of my set from loose ones I've bought but have a couple extra loose ones willing to trade for some I might be able to use duplicates of. Have Magician (opened)W/baggie Diver (opened) Want Zombie Dummy Cheerleader looking for trades in US only.

LEGO stores already released their stock.

I like my big fat sig and how it takes up so much space, please don't make me give it up

well my local store just got in more but sadly still no money to buy them yet. and to top it all off they now have placed a 3 per limit on them at the store so as to give kids a chance to get them.

And hate to burst your bubble but other then them having the same figs thats the only commonality between Europe and America's minifig collections, they have differant box designs and differant fig counts, so until you get a box if they even send you your order don't be so sure your right, as it goes several people finding out their order they made yesterday is being cancelled, it turns out that the available Qty was far outceded by the desired amount. I can't even buy a box at TRU for that cheap anymore.

umm maybe the fact you think you will find a place where you can buy a complete box? or that if anyone knew they would tell you and not get it themselves.

well according to the US page it says call for availability in other words their sold out unless someone cancels an order or such, already hearing of others whos orders might be cancelled. well then it must be some kind of area thing since three of the TRU around me had no limits and I bought 2 boxs from my local TRU.

yes and so is their stock, they are sold out.

I have a magician. and might be able to get others at store if they still have that box.

the problem some people have yet to realize is with the limit removed from LEGO online, how many resellers do you think are buying up their product? and how long before their sold out? oops my bad it seems they are already sold out now in the US and Canada.

also another major factor to consider is the economy with the economy in the bad shape it is, people are not forking out big bucks for things these days.

we'd need at least a minimum of 10 boxs purchased at differant times to get an accurate breakdown of the minifigs. on the other hand who knows maybe LEGO is about to flood the market with series one figs which would be nice since it will put those scalpers in their place who scooped up all the figs only to resell them.

Well several factors to consider, the set size which is quite large so would be expensive so not many would buy such a large set, the part costs which could effect instruction sales, in this situation you would be best off making like a CD or instruction book and selling those, but then again it might not go for alot, several custom sellers sell instructions for buildings and such like the guild of bricksmiths and even Dan Siskind but smaller creations instructions have a tendancy to sell faster then large creations do, but this is mainly on feasibility of building.

thats the problem it all depends on how they package them, i've seen distribution centers which had things like this and they would dump all the small packs in a hopper and pack from that so as to preserve time of opening boxs. Also if you order 60 common sense would say they send a box, but when has NA LEGO ever used common sense when shipping items, I've gotten boxes big enough for the UCS MF just to ship a small set.

you would think but no guarantee of getting a box, but then again they could be trying to clear out their inventory fast to make room for series 2.

meh if I was in your shoes buying mine online I wouldn't mind the dummies since their a bit cool.

actually a couple online places have had to cancel pre-orders due to limited availability since LEGO is limiting the amount of boxs being sent out(friend of mine gloated about pre-ordering his online only to get an email stating due to innsufficent supplies being delivered his pre-order was being cancelled), in fact think someone mentioned it was like 2 cases per retail location or such, also with series 2 to be released soon don't think series one will be around long.

I'm surprised your local TRU won't allow you to buy a complete box since I've bought 2 from my local TRU and would have bought a third today if I had the money. Also on a side note TRU has a policy not to place purchase limits on products in store.

Mac looks better then lightning does in my opinion.

well you can always peruse thru the trade thread here where there is a minifig collectible trade thread going on, or try your luck at TRU since most stores should have gotten a new box yesterday or today, I know mine did and if I had the money they would be mine. hmm isn't that a kingdoms wizard?

got my last one.

well my local TRU just got another box in, they seem to be coming about 1 a week since this is the third box, sadly no money at this time to buy the box.

well my local TRU just got in another box, but sadly no money to buy anymore.

well my local TRU just got in their 3rd. box, but sadly no money for me to buy some more.
