Re: LEGO The Simpsons Minifigures Released in Canada

Of course I went to my local Wally World....asked the toy lady that works in that dept and she said nope they don't get put out till the 8th.... I'm like no I think it's today. And she responded by saying well I have not seen any and all we HAVE is the mini bags...seriously! I just left

Saw these at Target and TRU today. TRU must have had 4 boxes worth. Heh, grabbed a set from Target since they're cheaper ($3.49).

Re: LEGO The Simpsons Minifigures Released in Canada

Got some today as well. My local TRU has a 5 pack per person limit to discourage people from buying up the entire box.

Re: LEGO The Simpsons Minifigures Released in Canada

That's very nice of TRU. Rarely hear companies willing to sell less to ensure there's enough stock for everyone.

Also LEGO store has a limit of half a box or 16 bags per customer as well.

DOn't think Target and Wal mart have any limits.

Yeah, I agree. This particular TRU has put limits on the collector/high demand products. They did it for Transformers MPs, Dragon Dagger, Mattel Barbie Collector Black Label dolls, etc. Usually setting a limit of 1 per person or family.

Target and Wal-mart does not have any limits. Went to Target today as well and the sales associate said a guy came by earlier in the day and bought an entire box. She thought that was nuts. I laughed and told her it's not strange at all. That always happens when a new Lego Minifigure series is released.

Re: LEGO The Simpsons Minifigures Released in Canada

I don't understand what these bump codes are supposed to be about. I didn't see anything on the packages like bump codes. There were numbers inscribed on the packs though, but I can't find any source online that tells me what number corresponds to which character...

Re: LEGO The Simpsons Minifigures Released in Canada

Bump codes are the little bumps on the bottom of the bag, I found these (courtesy of a user on Flickr)

Codes for Homer, Bart, Marge and Lisa

Milhouse, Ralph, Apu and Nelson

Maggie, Grandpa Simpson, Ned, Krusty

And finally Itchy, Scratchy, Chief Wiggum and Mr. Burns
