Collectable Minifigures Sold Out LEGO.com

[legogeek]

^I contacted LEGO about the 5 minifig limit when these first came out and they told me the limit would eventually be removed.

Lego always has limit 5 per customer for new sets. Usually and I mean usually they remove their limit when the sets are no longer "new". Luke's Landspeeder released half a year ago still has its limit 5 per customer. I'm quite suprise they remove their limit so early on these figures. They should never have done that, some people trying to make big bucks probably order a whole bunch the instance they removed the limit.

I'm for a 16-bag limit. They sell more, we can buy more. It's fair. And you still can't complete the series with 16 bags.

Lego shoulda offer an option to buy a complete collection with all 16 minifigures for $32 US and $48 CA. Then people do not need use barcodes and buy more than they actually need to complete their collection.

Yes, but barcodes aside, that would mean each person would only pay them for 16 figures when the whole theory behind blind-bagged/boxed merch is to cause people to buy more than they want in order to eliminate dupes. The barcode, of course, kind of undermined that idea.

I suppose it doesn't really matter now since they're all gone. I have very little hope of completing my entire collection now. I've got 7 out of the 16 and I'm missing quite a few good ones :(

The only item of hope is that LEGO learned their lesson and will make BILLIONS of these figures for series 2. None of this 'oh the stores got 1 box in BAM they're gone!' kind of stuff. I never found them in stores anywhere. The best I got was an empty box at Toys R Us.

lego.com says call to check product availability.

I called, lady said still sold out.
She did say that all major retailers would get one last shipment.

Make of that with you will.

[ncbarrett]

oh, and the retailers she mentioned were TRU, target, kmart and walmart.

[TClone]

Anyone have a Skater, Wrestler, Zombie or Tribal Hunter for trade?

[Transformers2]

Prices are soaring up really fast at bricklink. Most of them are already above retail around $3. The zombie is $4.

Yep. I will probably buy the ones I need on Brinklink unless someone wants to trade my my extra Robot, Cheerleader, Clown or Magician?

I may not have been looking hard enough but it seems that these figures just came out on the east coast. The same can be said about the star wars mini xwing and shuttle.

You mean the easter sets from target?

Maybe there's another wave hitting the eastern seaboard, but I got mine almost a month ago at the TRU in Valley Stream.

[slacker]

How much were the figures at Valley? $2.50 or $3.00.

[vynsane]

I got them when they were still marked MSRP $1.99 - and we had a $10 off $50+ purchase coupon, so they actually rang up at $1.70/$1.71.
