  1. I received my sealed box from Entertainment Earth today. The bags were marked "544B0." Here's what I got: 4 Fishermen 4* Pilots 3 Tribal Chiefs 4 Samurai Warriors 3 Snowboarders 3 Space Villains 5 Sumo Wrestlers 5 Mummies 3 Elves 4 Tennis Players 5 Race Car Drivers 4 Gorilla Suit Guys 3 Space Aliens 3 Hula Dancers 3* Rappers 4 Baseball Players I put asterisks next to the Pilot and the Rapper because I left one of each unopened. I plan to give them to friends, and I'm reasonably sure that I've identified them correctly, as I've compared the dots to the other empty bags and felt the contents. Some of the dots corresponded to the guides, some didn't. I started trying to identify each fig before I opened it just for fun, but gave up until I found a pilot and a rapper. At that point, I started checking the dots again by comparing them to the empty pilot and rapper bags in order to set aside the aforementioned extras of each. Overall, I'm pleased with the loadout and am glad that I received a four-Fisherman box! Hopefully I'll be able to score some more Elves...
  2. I've been pretty busy, so I haven't had time to report in on my box from Entertainment Earth. I did receive it last week, and the assortment was identical to all the other reported ones. However, I actually opened all of the packs in order, starting with the first column on the left and working my way front to back. Has anyone else done this? I was wondering if each case is packed in exactly the same fashion. Here's my case's loadout: Column 1, front to back Cowboy Cowboy Caveman Caveman Dummy Dummy Dummy Dummy Magician Dummy Forestman Skater Skater Caveman Cheerleader Cheerleader Cheerleader Cowboy Cowboy Wrestler Column 2, front to back Spaceman Spaceman Zombie Diver Diver Zombie Diver Robot Diver Nurse Magician Clown Tribal Hunter Tribal Hunter Wrestler Wrestler Clown Clown Tribal Hunter Spaceman Column 3, front to back Ninja Nurse Ninja Ninja Forestman Forestman Robot Robot Robot Caveman Magician Magician Spaceman Forestman Zombie Diver Skater Nurse Ninja Ninja
  3. The K-Mart in Bartlesville, OK has the Minifigs in their system, but not in stock. I took an empty bag with me and had the barcode scanned. I'll check back with them in a couple of days. The local Wal-Mart had no record of them in their system, but they have an awful Lego selection and thus may not get them in. I can't say if it'll be the same for every Wal-Mart though. Again, if someone finds them at a store in the US like Wal-Mart or Target, let us know!
  4. Congrats on getting a "box!" I didn't order from S@H for the reasons I stated previously, i.e. the rep I spoke with couldn't guarantee me the full contents of a box of 60. It doesn't really matter now that I have a box on order from Entertainment Earth, as long as my order isn't cancelled or the box's contents are rearranged...
  5. Wow, thanks a lot! Ordered! Let's hope they haven't repackaged boxes with like 20 divers and 20 spacemen or anything unscrupulous like that... However, if this works out, they may be my go-to site for Series 2.
  6. Hey, don't get me wrong, I wish you the best and I hope you get a box, but I'm just restating what I was told by the rep. Maybe this is their new method of countering the problem of people getting multiples of the same figure in an order of 5: by just dumping all their stock into a bin and mixing it around a bit.
  7. Sorry to tell you, but I don't think you'll get a box. I called Shop at Home yesterday when the limit was lifted to inquire about the same thing, and the representative checked directly with the warehouse. He told me that they are all dumped into a common receptacle.
  8. Hello everyone, I'm a long-time lurker but I thought I should share what I got out of an employee from Shop at Home when I called yesterday. I had attempted to order a complete box from my local Waldenbooks (an offshoot of Borders), but they called to tell me that they would be unable to do so, as their warehouse was out of stock. Having noticed that the 5-minifig limit had been lifted from Shop at Home, I immediately called and spoke with a representative. I explained that I wanted to purchase a complete, sealed box. He checked with the warehouse, and said they were unable to do this as they apparently dump all the bags into a common receptacle. However, he informed me that these were supposed to be going out to "all of their retail outlets in the USA," and he actually mentioned Wal-Mart and Target by name. I know from reading previous posts in this topic that they have been found at Canadian Wal-Marts, but has anyone actually been able to find them at US Wal-Marts and Targets? I'm trying not to get my hopes up, as the rep may have been misinformed, but I suppose we'll just have to wait and see. If anyone in the US sees these at a Wal-Mart or Target, please let the rest of us know! I received 6 as a gift and later checked barcodes at a Borders in Tulsa, OK to acquire 15 more. My first 6 consisted of a skater, zombie, forestman, crash test dummy, and two spacemen. The 15 from Borders consisted of a cheerleader, caveman, two clowns, two ninjas, two wrestlers, two nurses, two robots, cowboy, zombie, and another spaceman (by mistake - guess I didn't look at the barcode closely enough). I would have purchased all the cheerleaders, cavemen, and zombies they had, but they had only one of each. They were spread out between two display boxes on the front counter. Although there were probably 50 or so packs between the two boxes, it seems that they had already been picked over as there were no skaters left, and only one of each of the cheerleader, caveman, and zombie. I could have completed my collection, as I did come across several tribal hunters, magicians, and divers, but at that time I thought I still had the box on order from Waldenbooks. I do regret not purchasing those three now, but at least they weren't very high on my want list. The ones I purchased from Borders were intended to be extras to supplement my full box, but who knows if I'll ever come across one now...
