Just got an update from USPS that the local Post office finally has my package & expects to deliver tomorrow. Only took two weeks to travel halfway across the country. Hope it saw some interesting sites along the way.

@RichardGoring that DHLGM should definitely be the LEGO parts. Probably just one order though because I've never had them combine any of my parts orders into one package.

My parts arrived in Denver on Saturday. Package still hasn't been turned over to USPS for delivery. Was hoping it would be delivered today but I guess not. Hope the DHL employees enjoyed their New Years celebrations.

Both of the polybags being offered as Gwp for buying the Andrea's Mansion set are available for purchase from Target in the US. Since the mansion isn’t on my wishlist & I already have several copies of the polybag with the Otter I'll just grab one or two of the Flower Garden from Target.

Have to say the snowboarder figure looks way better in the new picture. I was thinking the dual molded hat/hair piece would be the one I would get to go with that torso after seeing the original picture.

Code on my receipt is 204001379 LEGO 71028. 71028 is the number for the Harry Potter CMF's which I guess is why they don't come up as do not sell before January 1. Gotta love Target's screwy inventory control system. I know when I got the Disney ones last year the code coming up was also for a previous series.

My Nov 18 Standard parts order has finally arrived in the US. Now to see if it makes it from New Jersey to me before the end of the year.

Was able to get 2 Goatherds & a Train Kid by scanning the QR codes in Target today. I did scan a couple that seemed to be the Barbarian and a few the Pet Groomer according to the codes posted on reddit. Was only able to get the QR codes to scan on about half the boxes I tried.

I hope I'm able to find some of these in a store at some point. Fortunately the two missing codes are figures I don't want more of since I'll be getting two sets through an order one of my fellow LUG members placed.

Guess I'll hold off on the endoscope until I find out if this code thing works if I can find any boxes anywhere.

@RichardGoring I may look into getting one of those endoscope also. I think the scale will work for finding minifigs that have more varying weights while the endoscope will most likely make them more definitively identifiable. I didn’t try anything for the Marvel ones because I just ordered a complete set from an online seller. Going forward I need to try something because there are figs I don’t want and others I know I want multiples of.

Still nothing for me either. No LEGO seems to have gotten to the US yet for me. And my Amazon delivery was an empty envelope. Seems they didn't actually fold the flap over enough to actually seal the envelope so the small scale & calibration weights I ordered either never made it into the envelope in the warehouse or they fell out somewhere enroute to me. Replacements are on the way. I ordered the scale so I could hopefully be able to determine the contents of the CMF boxes if I'm ever able to find any intact boxes in stores at some point.

I usually get a notice from USPS Informed Delivery that it arrived at a partner facility which is usually DHL in Avenel, NJ. I get notices from USPS Informed Delivery when it moves through DHL facilities & then once it's handed off to the USPS I get notices as it moves through USPS. Currently USPS Informed Delivery is showing they were notified to expect something with no other identifier so I'm not 100% sure it's the LEGO parts yet. When I get the Avenel, NJ notification it's always been the LEGO parts. So as far as I can tell currently it hasn't arrived in the US yet.

Doesn't look like my Nov. 18 order is going to make it here before Christmas. They shipped it out on Dec. 15 but it doesn't seem to have arrived in this country yet. Hopefully it gets here before next year. Time to start building a new wish list for whenever they start accepting new standard part orders next year.

I would have much preferred just the burger joint without the truck part.

My order from 11/17 is now marked as shipped. Just waiting to see the charge on my credit card and the invoice from LEGO.

Sorry I don't get the obsession with capybaras, they just looks like a big pig variant to me. Much rather get some big cats, deer/antelope variants and some colorful new bird molds,maybe a gorilla and a Zebra. But I could do without the snakes and other slithery creatures.

Would it have been too much to ask that they actually give us a CS figure in a new color for the nurse with the pink baby rather than that white thing with blue hair? I would have been thrilled with the Purple they gave some of the employees in that exclusive set a few months back. Yes I know I could cobble one together but sorry I'm not going to try to rip the arms off the one Purple Space CMF I have to try it. Guess I'll just have to make some that don't actually have the space logo on the chest out of plain parts. And I definitely agree with everyone who's posted that they should have given us one new color classic fig, that's what I was expecting from the Nurse. I really like the Tourist Alien & some of the others have some interesting parts. But I dislike the miss matched legs & trans colors mixed with normal on the one guy. That's the main reason I never got into Nexo Knights or Chima. I expect I'll be ordering a full box of these if the guy in my LUG does a big order like they usually do.

Why is it that I always end up liking the most expensive set in these in house themes?

My order from November 17 is still showing in warehouse. I think if the parts are in stock they should ship before they shutdown. Still over a week & 1/2 til Christmas so hopefully my order ships out by the end of this week. Don't know if it'll make it here before Christmas though.

Yes, I ordered 3 6 packs of the Muppets hoping for at least one complete set & ended up with three sets of the same 6 figures. Marvel I ordered 2 6 packs & got 2 sets of the same 6 figures. Finally got lucky with series 24 and actually got all 12, That order was from LEGO.com. The other two were from Target.

I second this. I recently attended a Brickfest Live event where they were selling sealed CMF's from series going back as far as at least series 12. There were quite a few of us taking the time to try to choose the ones we wanted. Happily for me the 12 I bought all turned out to actually be the ones I thought they'd be. I'm going to miss being able to feel through the blind bags. For the upcoming series I've ordered 2 full sets but I know there are some I don't really want and some I definitely want more than 2 of but I'll have to settle just those.

I had high hopes for Dreamzzz when they first announced it but in reality I really don't care for most of the sets. I've never really been interested in Ninjago, Nexo Knights or Chima. Hidden Side had some really interesting sets but the AR aspect was a total miss and the color wheels to activate it were an eyesore. I hope they revisit the Adventurers theme at some point because I'm more interested in that type of Action & Adventure in my LEGO. And all the Mechs are a big no buy for me.

They keep changing what they consider to be best sellers. If something goes out of stock it drops off the best seller listing. It's very frustrating. I know there were parts that were bestsellers that fell off the list & now some of them are back. They even added a few of the newest parts as bestsellers.

I finally got the 4 shipped ones yesterday. Received the receipts for the ones from 11/3 & 11/4 so they should actually ship out now. I think I have one more order from Black Friday week so don't expect that one to be shipping anytime soon with the shutdown.
