That was my email "evomackey" that sent that tip about the Lexington KY TRU. They had two boxes.. priced at $3.49 each. I gave them a pass. They still had MANY series 5 packs. I think I will wait until they drop to $2.99... then wait a bit more until there is a BOGO 50% sale, Like series 5 they will be everywhere very soon.

Yes, in Chandler, AZ they have them and the Tyson's Corner store in D.C. has them as well. I ordered 6 from Lego.com.US and I got 2 Leprechauns, a Genie, a Sleepyhead, a Mechanic, and the Roman Soldier. I wish that my local TRU would have them, though.

Posted by axisvega in United States, 19 Jan 2012 09:32

Found in CT, as well!

Posted by Branko in Australia, 19 Jan 2012 09:37

Legoshop in Anaheim/Disneyland California has them as well.

The LEGO store at Tyson's Corner, VA got them in 10 days ago. I managed to get a full set on the first try; opened 16 bags and got all 16 minifigs, so I'll return the extra bags that I didn't open.

Posted by voypro in United States, 19 Jan 2012 11:00

^mommylego: This is the best way to obtain a set. It prevents you from looking like a shoplifter hovering around the Lego isle for a half hour feeling the packages.

Posted by ngclarkiv in United States, 19 Jan 2012 11:02

Is there any way to know which one you're getting because I would just like the Scottish fighter really.

Posted by dmetcalf in United States, 19 Jan 2012 11:10

I picked up four from the Lego Store in the Christiana Mall in Delaware and another from the Lego Store at the King of Prussia Mall, in Pennsylvania.

Posted by shaase in Canada, 19 Jan 2012 11:12

I've yet to see them in Canada. Anyone else from Canada notice them yet? though you can order them through lego.com

Posted by SinKiller Nick in United States, 19 Jan 2012 11:13

My local TRU had them at $3.50!
But my "5 Below" which usually always gets them early--still is yet to get them.

Posted by Outer Rim Emperor in United States, 19 Jan 2012 11:25

Yes! Finally. Can't wait to get my hands on these!

Posted by hoosierzephyr in United States, 19 Jan 2012 11:26

Used my Toys R US $4 reward and picked up a Grey Alien yesterday in Big Flats, NY. They also had a few of the new Star Wars set but wouldn't sell them to me. Cash register would not let them sell it.

Posted by TimothySRossi in United States, 19 Jan 2012 11:34

Lego store in Concord, NC has them. Local TRU does not have them yet.

Posted by natro220 in United States, 19 Jan 2012 11:38

I got 8 at the Mall of America store more than a week ago. I didn't know that they hadn't been spotted yet...now I feel special...lol.

Posted by yys4u in United States, 19 Jan 2012 11:45

Theses have been out in the US for weeks now haha. But good to know they're finally hitting TRU for those who don't have a LEGO store near them

Posted by ekreuser in United States, 19 Jan 2012 12:15

Got a case at TRU in Milwaukee WI

Posted by el_rey95 in United States, 19 Jan 2012 12:15

They have been at Target here in MN for about a week now. I also picked some up at the Lego store in the Mall of America. Funny enough though my TRU doesn't have them yet.

Posted by durik in United States, 19 Jan 2012 12:20

The Lego store in Fashion Valley San Diego just got a new shipment yesterday. I missed the first one which came in last week.

Posted by The Reviewer in United States, 19 Jan 2012 12:20

I live in Califorina and 2 minutes away from a TRU and they have 7 boxes of series 5 and they still don't have Series 6 and there saying they may not come in until febuary. Dang! Do they still have them at the Downtown Disney lego store? I'am going to disneyland next week and I hope they still have them. does anyone know if they still have them?.

Posted by Jdawg26 in Canada, 19 Jan 2012 12:26

My local TRU does and has not had any minifigs since Nov. But my local Mastermind in London ON has series 2, 4, 5, and 6. They have had Series 6 for a week and a half now. Managed to get 14 of 16 in 19 bags. Just need the clockwork robot and highland battler.

Posted by Pepper in United States, 19 Jan 2012 12:29

shop.LEO.com? What's that?

On subject, I have not seen any series 6 anywhere around me, everyone still has an overabundance of series 5 still. :/

Posted by cycomisfit in United States, 19 Jan 2012 12:44

They've had S6 for a little over 2 weeks now @Lego store South Coast Plaza in Costa Mesa Ca. I found a spot in Santa Monica that still has S3 but they want 4.95 for each. :/ I wasn't surprised they had so many. I had to pass on those.

Posted by mabhatter in United States, 19 Jan 2012 12:49

I picked up Series six in mid-Michigan. So far, TRU and Target have had some.. They only had one box each at my locations. I got a whole set on Thursday nite! Yeah me.

The Robot, surgeon, and Minotaur are my favs so far.

Posted by wiredforsound in United States, 19 Jan 2012 13:05

S6 is all over the Pacific Northwest in at TLG, TRU and Fred Meyer Stores so far.

My factory packed box yielded the following minifigure disbursement:
5x - Bandit, Minotaur, Highlander Battler
4x - Intergalactic Girl, Classic Alien, Flamenco Dancer, Leprechaun, Mechanic, Skater Girl
3x - Butcher, Clockwork Robot, Genie, Lady Liberty, Roman Soldier, Sleepyhead, Surgeon

Posted by Com161 in United States, 19 Jan 2012 13:27

I actually spotted them last week at the Disneyland Resort Lego Store. I was able to pick out the Butcher, the Bandit, and the Mechanic. Then, the next day, while at the Glendale Galleria Lego Store to buy some baseplates that I forgot to buy the day before, I was able to snatch up the Highland Battler!

Posted by starfire2 in United States, 19 Jan 2012 14:11

I found them at Lego store Arrowhead (Glendale, AZ) on January 9th and at TRU on January 17th. I got 20 at Lego store and got everything I wanted and a few extras, then at TRU I bought 4 more that my son wanted. This series was the easiest to feel through the bag.

Posted by vamproe in United States, 19 Jan 2012 15:14

TRU in appleton wi got 2 cases this morning

Posted by dragonworks2050 in United States, 19 Jan 2012 16:39

Downtown Disney had them last Sunday. I was able to pick up a whole set but they only had about a box's worth left on the shelves. Call ahead, they were helpful when I did.

Posted by contraption-3000 in United States, 19 Jan 2012 17:16

TRU Mayfield Heights Cleveland had 1 box :) I got the spacegirl, cowboy, butcher, robot, flamenco dancer. Robot by far best of them. Awaiting delivery from Lego.com of another 6 packs.

Posted by blomper in United States, 19 Jan 2012 18:21

TRU in Elk Grove, CA had 3 boxes and the TRU in Sacramento (Arden) also had a couple boxes. Nothing at Targets yet.

Posted by Margot in United States, 19 Jan 2012 18:34

Stood fondling them for about 45 minutes today at TRU. I tried to use the dot guide from online but it didn't match up, I think there are different codes for the UK. The only one I couldn't find that I wanted was the Statue of Liberty. I really like the Space Lady and the Surgeon.

Posted by cycomisfit in United States, 19 Jan 2012 19:00

@ Con161
When you went to Glendale Galleria Lego Store did they have a lot ? I need 3 more.

Posted by recon in United States, 19 Jan 2012 19:31

Picked up mine last week at Fred Meyer and the LEGO store has had them for a bit now.

shop.lego.com was the last to have them as usual

Posted by TBOC in United States, 19 Jan 2012 20:07

Nice! My shopping day is tomorrow, anyway. Maybe two minifgs and a Jay ZX packet.. money's tight until summer I'm afraid.

Posted by powerpig in Canada, 19 Jan 2012 20:29

Series 6 has shown up in Halifax, Nova Scotia at two of the four Walmarts. At this point it looks like they've only got two boxes per store; previously each store here would get 12. Anyhoo, I've got all the ones I need!

Posted by PaulTR in United States, 19 Jan 2012 20:41

At my Walmart in Garfield, NJ, I quickly swiped the product placement guide (I work in retail, so I know where they hide those things;) and saw that they have a space marked out for Series 6 minifigures. Not sure when they're coming in, but I'm going there tomorrow, so if I see any I'll be sure to post the info.

Posted by Jdawg26 in Canada, 19 Jan 2012 21:40

I keep hearing about WM having minifigs but my local stores never have them. I asked the managers and they say we don't carry them.

Posted by jinxjinx550 in United States, 19 Jan 2012 21:48

My local 5 Below, which has been a wonderful source for earlier series (always priced at $2.99; always available in stacks of multiple cartons so it's convenient and only a little embarrassing to stand around doing "squeeze-the-bag" detective work) hasn't gotten Series 6 yet. The managers are frustrated about that, and are watching for them avidly. Meanwhile, my local (Maryland) Toys R Us suddenly has box after box of Series 5, which was scarce as could be around Christmas time. However, in one of their aisle endcap displays (a kind of shallow transparent box on the wall near an endcap) there was a messy mix of Series 5 Lego minifigs, Ninjago card pack envelopes, some kind of Marvel toys in envelopes, and a handful of Series 6 jammed in. I had to drag dozens of blue envelopes out of the box before I could reach any sixes, but finally managed to get 5 of them, which turned out to be all different and all good. Even though they were charging $3.99 a bag, I was happy just to finally get some. This is a great series! And oh, that surgeon's amazing X-Ray!!!

Anything in Las Vegas?

Posted by Carnigee77 in United States, 19 Jan 2012 23:29

I got mine over a week ago... They have boatloads scattered around the Mall of America

Posted by Kotton in United States, 20 Jan 2012 08:58

I score 10 of them at the TRU in Elizabeth, NJ last night. I was able to use my 18 rewards bucks too! I love free minifigures!

Posted by lukywalker in Switzerland, 20 Jan 2012 09:20

In Switzerland you can find minifigs almost everywhere (ok, not behind trees... but it's too easy!)! I get the entire serie in only 20"buys", and now I'm trying finding the most essentials to me such as the pink space girl (fits so good with the spaceman of serie I!) and the scotish fighter (you can almost hear him sceaming "Fredoooom", he he...). Enjoy your chase!

Posted by kyzr44 in United States, 20 Jan 2012 11:10

Does anyone have the Target Supc for them?

Posted by Morgan19 in United States, 20 Jan 2012 12:26

^ If you mean the DPCI#, I believe it's 204-00-0211. You should be able to check by zip code or city at this link, but any zip code I've tried (as a test) just returns "out of stock" for all stores.

Posted by wunztwice in United States, 20 Jan 2012 15:02

My local hobby store is very unhappy with LEGO right now. Apparently LEGO cancelled all S.6 orders from independent toy dealers due to "lack of stock." C'mon LEGO, really? After 5 series you all the sudden make the wrong number of figs?

Posted by dsdg88 in United States, 20 Jan 2012 15:55

I stopped by Fred Meyer in Tualatin to find the four I was missing (Alien, Doctor, Roman and Robot).
They had 6 boxes mostly full.
It took about 45 minutes to find the first two, and although my fingers were getting tired I needed to find at least one more for the B2G1. Finally found a Roman after almost an hour total.
I gave up before finding a Robot. Are they popular and very easy to identify? I'm wondering if they'd been picked over.

Posted by Toadtorrent in Canada, 20 Jan 2012 16:02

Toronto, Canada has them at Mastermind Toys...got my whole set and then some.

Posted by Margot in United States, 20 Jan 2012 16:04

I found that the robot is easy to identify by the little piece that goes around it's neck so that you can attach the windup to it's back. It's got a 90 degree angle to it. There's no other minifig that has a similar piece.

Posted by minifig051 in United States, 20 Jan 2012 16:20

Yes, finally! I was thinking of going to TRU last weekend, but I couldn't go. So I thought I could go this weekend, and now I'm definetly going!

Posted by TXClark in United States, 20 Jan 2012 17:40

Finished getting our set together today at Lego store in Austin TX, only one central texas Target had them so far (Lakeline, now with empty hanging box). Lego store Austin had about 85-120 at 3pm today and a few more boxes in the back.

got 16 without dupes :)

Posted by namekuji in New Zealand, 20 Jan 2012 18:59

perhaps a little off topic, but the figures are also in New Zealand now. Spotted several boxes at Auckland's Sylvia Park this morning, nothing in The Warehouse (downtown) yet though.

Posted by NeilJam in United States, 20 Jan 2012 22:41

These were in stock at TRU near Pittsburgh on Wednesday (1/18).

Posted by zjygkmatt in United States, 21 Jan 2012 03:00

Theres a toy store in the kop mall in PA that has them, and they also put out a few of the new sw sets, which i grabbed one just to feel awesome, but i fought the urge to get more to wait to buy em from lego for points. They have the planet ones, and the battle packs and $20 sets.

Posted by voypro in United States, 21 Jan 2012 05:32

I know we always here people say this but.... 'I think this is the best series yet.' It has some stinkers (Flamenco Dancer, Bandit) and is it just me or does Skate and/or Snow boards seem just a bit too abundant in the Lego realm?

Posted by bob123 in United States, 21 Jan 2012 07:34

I ordered 13 minifigs on bricklink.com last week all I need is the roman, leprechun and the statue of liberty. It's cheaper to order them

Posted by Be-Burger in Israel, 21 Jan 2012 11:15

Anyone want to get some for me? :)

Posted by drklacey114 in United States, 21 Jan 2012 12:04

My local TRU in Middletown, NY has had the series 6 since the release date on 1/9/12. As of a few days ago, they had two boxes out. TRU pricing is still a little steep at $3.49 per pack, but with the recent TRU rewards coupons from Christmas, I was able to get them for $.99 each after my discount. The only fig I haven't found yet is the Roman Soldier. I haven't yet looked for the dot codes on the packs, as I have been able to find what I need by just feeling the packs.

Posted by Com161 in United States, 21 Jan 2012 12:06

@ Cycomisfit Not really. There wern't that many there, but that was a while ago. They might have gotten more in.

Posted by Zacherano in United States, 21 Jan 2012 15:03

I just picked up two full sets of minifigures and a few extras at my favorite toy store, in Washington, D.C. They were so nice that they actually let me take a new box and go through it for the ones I most wanted - then I kept the box as a souvenir. :-) My favorites are the Statue of Liberty, Roman legionnaire, leprechaun, and minotaur.

Posted by Margot in United States, 21 Jan 2012 15:18

New Star Wars at my TRU today. Tie Fighter, X-wing, Y-wing, and planets!

Posted by DietrichEvanFilms in United States, 21 Jan 2012 17:12

There are loads of boxes at our local walmart for series 5, theres like seven boxes full leftover

Posted by sloopsjohng in United States, 21 Jan 2012 20:06

I ordered the maximum 16 from shop.LEGO.com and managed to get only 5 unique ones (Alien, Leprechaun, Bandit, Minotaur, Skater Girl). To say I'm disappointed is an understatement.

Posted by chadm76 in United States, 21 Jan 2012 23:36

I ordered 18 from TRUS (I had some coupons). I did good and got 12 of 16, so I got some extra. The missing four were quickly ordered from Bricklink. Bring on series 7 :)

Posted by K.Kreations in United States, 22 Jan 2012 10:00

I found 4 boxes at Smiths Marketplace in Logan,Utah.

Posted by The Reviewer in United States, 25 Jan 2012 23:38

FINALLY! I went to disneyland yesterday and went to the Legostore in Downtown Disney. and they had them! I bought 8 and got no duplicates! My intake: Roman warrior, flamenco dancer,Genie, Bandit, Highland battler, Clockwork robot,surgeon and spacewoman.
