    Default Minifigures series 3 out this month

    Since I know there is interest in the Minifigures range, I saw in the Toyworld catalogue today that the 3rd Series will be released (there) on January 24th, for $5 each.

    They will be in other places, probably at varying prices - I just listed the price quoted in the catalogue for reference.

    $5 is jut crazy IMO. I was paying $3 for Series 1, then Series 2 went up to $4. So are we expecting a cost rise per series? I won't pay anymore than $4. I'd rather buy them off eBay in bulk or as a complete opened set. Yes the thrill of the hunt is gone, but at least you know you wouldn't be wasting money getting doubles/triples.

    Target has series 2 at like $3.5-$4
    TRU had them for $2.99 for both series. Hopefully they won't up them in price

    My local TRU is the only place where i could find them. And they jacked the price as they sold it.

    I heard that from this wave onwards, there won't be any more of those identifying barcodes on the back. Does anyone know if there are other ways to ID the figures before the package is opened?

    According to Zippo the ones he had are European packaging, no barcode and no bumps/dots to tell whats in the package without feeling out parts.

    so i guess it is the hard way

    Spotted 8 boxes of these at Target. $4.90 each! I grabbed 4 packs and happy to report that the dots are on the back bottom pf the pack. They are just tiny little blister like circles and can be hard to see but they are there.

    Brothers Brick had a guide on what's what:

    It can be hard to see sometimes so best to feel for particular unique parts for the particular fig you want. Brothers Brick also has a guide on what parts will feel unique in the bags:

    Happy hunting!
