Simpsons Minifigures @ TRU

Post by sketchman » Sat Apr 12, 2014 8:12 pm

I saw a box of Simpsons Minifigures at TRU tonight (Chicago-western burbs.) There was a sign on the box that read "Limit Four".

Beat me to the punch. Found a box at Walmart and was fortunate to have a sign saying something about a misprint in their advertisement (guessing about Lego Movie CMF?) at $2.97 but te store did not have any but would offer The Simpsons CMF in its place. Needless to say I was very happy ;)

I have mixed feelings about new releases: I can't wait to see and get the new sets... but I can't figure out where I'm gonna put them or store them.

Yes, thanks for heads up, I'm going to my local TRU stores tomorrow. Can't wait to get them all, with the Simpsons house, those figs are great for Springfield expansion.

It just proves how stupid some employees can be. The boxes are clearly marked MUST NOT BE PUT ON SHELF TILL MAY 1st. And every dealer was sent a warning email from LEGO not to break the embargo date. Not sure what they do, ie ship your next embargo dated product late etc??

Actually, Wal-Mart has permission to "break" the street-date. That's why there's that official note on the box, that the Simpsons are taking place of the Movie minifigs that was a mistake in the ad. So if TRu breaks it, yes, bad, but WMT, can b/c of this issue.

Those movie figures are discontinued, I asked a walmart employee to see if they could get anymore and they looked it up, and the answer was no. I did find some in a remote area, as it's been hard to locate any overall.

I found a whole box at Toys R Us. I went yesterday and they looked it up and said they had a box but it wasn't on the floor. They told me to check tomorrow (today). I went 30 minutes after they opened and found it on an endcap hidden behind another box (didn't even check to see what it was). It definitely wasn't noticeable. But I bought the whole box and it came out to $80.
