I found them on display in my local TRU in Eastgate, OH. I think I have a whole set after using the feel method from the packs. They were $3.99 each, though.

The Movie Minis seem to be all gone in Maryland, and I never got a "Where's my pants" guy. I wanted one dagnabit! But I don't want any of the Simpsons.

Is this UPC for TRU or Walmart? If TRU, does anyone have the Walmart code?

The UPC works for both, but stick w/ the UPC for Walmart.

TRU is 085095

80? How many are in a box?

Did the cashier ring them separately? Or did they scan the UPC on the box?

How did you get a box of minifies for $80?

They have to ring them up separately because the boxes used to only ring up $2. :lol:

She scanned one and just must've changed the quantity on her computer. I asked her if the box scanned and she said no. Thank god it didnr.

I got like FIVE of the "where's my pants" guy, even ended up giving two of them away to the workers at the Lego store to complete their sets...but went through 20 more figures until I got Gail - she was the hardest one to find for me.

My TRUs and Walmarts both have the Simpsons Minfigs instock and won't sell them until May 1st". So stopped my local Walgreens to get 9 Simpsons minifigures, as they must have been carrying them for a week or so. :)

And that is why they will retired there. Some just do not give a s**t, and some take their job way too seriously worrying too much, bottom line is, unless you are a manager or supervisor, working there mean you can not find a better job or you are flesh off the boat.

Target Orillia (Ontario, Canada) had them as of Thursday (or earlier). I picked them up on Friday, though I probably should have just bought all of them rather than spend 20 min feeling them all. There were 13 there, 10 different ones. I left a Bart and I think 2 Krustys, though one of those might have been a Lisa since I was sure I felt the sax at one point but didn't open one later.

I purchased quite a few at Target today. This is actually the first lego purchase I have ever made that I am debating returning. $4 a pop or $3.80 with red card savings is like what a spend for my lunch each day....
