Started to try and find different ones and then decided I wasn't going to spend an hour doing that and grabbed about 80 or so just randomly. Got home and went through them feeling the bags and was able to get a complete set. In just a random grab I found tons of extras on the minotaur, leprechaun, mechanic, statue of liberty, skater girl. Only found one of the space girl, alien, and celtic warrior.
That's crazy dude, space girl, alien, and celtic warrior were all I found! I grabbed about 80 of the 120 at Target and had 10 celtic warriors a ridiculous number of aliens and spacegirls. Luck of the draw I guess.

Thanks! When I use the DPCI # from this thread it says the Waukesha area is out of stock even though they aren't. I knew the zip codes because I used to live nearby. I wonder if it's the right number because any zip I enter says out of stock. I'll have to manually scout :-) LEGO store had a couple strays but are out till next week.

edit: that seems to be the correct number - target must be slowww updating

Hit up the old standby today, Fred Meyer, and they had a few boxes out. Found them all except the statue of liberty. Don't bother with the 85th street location the LEGO aisle is nearly kaput. Lake City was way better and it sounds like a lot of them out in the burbs are well stocked. People are reporting up to 10-12 boxes per store :up:

Found them at SE Michigan Target on a side cap. There was already two people working their way through the bags so we all worked together to check every one. Got all the Minotaurs and Romans but their were still plenty of Celtics, Mechanics, and Liberty. I picked up the 10 I want for full price and will check other locations at my convience for more Romans.

Anyone live near Augusta, GA? If so, have you found any series 6?

I found a full box at the TRU in Brockton, MA on Thursday. It took me a bit, but I managed to find the four that I was missing after my first two rounds of purchases at the LEGO Store.

I guess I'm more or less done with the search, kind of anti-climactic! I just need to figure out if I need extras of any particular ones.

That's how I felt when Series 5 came out. I was able to pick out all 16 the first time I saw them in-store. Only took me about half an hour. When I got home, I was like, "Now what?"

Found 2 boxes on the shelf here at Wal*Mart in Calgary.

Did use the "feeling method" on the initial 16 but when going for the rest of the box for additional ones noticed that the bump codes are now more obscure...more "shallow" and in some cases..."smudged"...also like they went through another heat seal to "flatten them out."

Somehow I've only found 1. There were none to be found at the LEGO Store, must have been picked through already. At TRU I was pressed for time and only located the one I needed and had to leave.

Deerfoot Outlet in Calgary on Sunday...2 fresh boxes...would think that this was the initial batch and that more would follow soon.

Typically, from my experiences, this is the first Wal*Mart in Calgary to get new stock. Typically followed by Northland and Deerfoot Meadows within a couple days. I find Royal Oak and Westbrook to be about 10 days behind Deerfoot Outlet. Seen this pattern not only with the mini-figures but also other items (LEGO, SW toys, electronics) that are not date sensitive (ad items, embargo dated, video games).

3 picked through boxes at northland Walmart Calgary.
Edit: went through every pack and there was not one extra Roman in the 3 boxes. So got myself a full set and a few extra celts and minotaurs.

I got a bunch and after a while of feeling around, I got 15/16. Can't find a single Celtic though. I got my bunch from the Fairview Lego Store and a St. Catharines Walmart.

Austin, TX - the HEB Plus on Anderson Mill & 620 just this afternoon put out 6 or 7 cases of Series 6 in a big bin by the toy aisle. They've been popping up at various Targets and TRU in town as well.

TRU in St. Catharines Ontario are well stocked. The display itself has the bags scattered all around that shelf but there's many to be had. Got the Celtic/Highland Warrior I was missing to complete a full set.

EDIT: I realize this thread is about Series 6, but I have a quick question regarding Series 5 (didn't wanna dig for that thread)...I remember hearing how there are still plenty of Series 5 minifigures available...I was wondering if anyone could list me a few places in Ontario, Canada that might still have these? I'm looking to get one more graduate minifigure as a gift.

I got a couple when they came out a few days earlier at the Lego store. I'm still waiting for TRU to have a BOGO50 since I still have $70 worth of rewards coupon. come on TRU!!!!
