Yeah your right! Make it 60 and 120!

Anyone that's found a cop in the box can you say roughly where he was or does it change each box? Going to have another quick drive round today and see if I can find an untouched box. Hoping Tesco has them out as it's a bit out of the way and they keep the minifigs on the top shelf so unlikely any local kids will have messed with them yet.

Failing that I guess I'm at Asda as it opens Easter Monday! :)

Left side towards the back..

Legolis · March 2018

Thank you. No luck at Tesco and they have shoved two more Batman boxes out at Argos. Going to try Toymaster and head home.

brickedin · March 2018

8 boxes at my Tesco, already rifled and policemen removed. I really should have ordered a sealed box

Legolis · March 2018

I think I found him. We open as a family and the kids are at school but if i’m right he was 2 or 3 from the back on the left like suggested above. Found him in Toyland, used to be Toymaster when I was a kid. Good luck those still hunting, try the smaller shops.

pharmjod · March 2018

Can someone that has a packet already post a pic of the barcode or just list the barcode?

ateague · March 2018

Found a policeman in a box at WH Smith’s. Result...

TheFew · March 2018

When buying from Lego online do you think the CMFs would be selected randomly so that you have a 1 in 60 chance if getting a police man? Or do we think that there would be some backroom antics going on, so the odds in an online purchase are lower?

Switchfoot55 · March 2018

^I was wondering the same thing yesterday.

I want to be the lucky person who orders 100 CMFs and gets all Policeman figs.

Do they differ from packet to packet?

No

Legolis · March 2018

Opened our bags and it was him. As posted above he was found in the left row a couple of figs from the back. He was easy to feel, thin packet and his hat was really obvious.

daewoo · March 2018

I haven't seen them out in the US yet, but I ordered a full box, so no worries.

...backroom antics...

I would always assume backroom antics. And probably a bin of 30,000 random packs. Although, the last time I purchased CMFs through [email protected], there was a healthy mix of figures.

pharmjod · March 2018

I scanned the barcode at my local Walmart. None in stock at all yet.

Is Walmart expected to have the for sure April 1? Or sooner?

starfire2 · March 2018

Is Walmart even open April 1st? Target is closed on Easter, always have been.

pharmjod · March 2018

No clue. Just checking. Brickseek shows 18% in stock so they are trickling out.

pharmjod · March 2018

Also I had no idea target was closed Easter. Good to know

TheOriginalSimonB · March 2018

Got my policeman today. WH Smith in Felixstowe have a stand with a big cut out of the balloon clown on top, which covers the rear of the box. So although a few figures had gone, nobody had dared reach under clowny mcclownface before me.

Raven13 · March 2018

Picked up full set today from local Toymaster. Put order in a couple of weeks ago and kept them for me until I got paid

starfire2 · March 2018

Found them at Target today. Even found the cop!

Switchfoot55 · March 2018

^And you were allowed to buy them?

pharmjod · March 2018

Yeah, my target pulled every cmf, even Batman cause they are all looked and hard coded to be sold after 4/1.

dragon114 · March 2018

wonder when or if barns and noble will get these

jmeninno · March 2018

^Or Barnes and Noble. ;)

Yes, no problem.

starfire2 · March 2018

Receipt as proof. Same DPCI as all the others.

MegtheCat · March 2018

I found these at Walmart yesterday. The box on the shelf had either been gone through or perhaps the contents of another box was heaped on top (I didn't check closely). I grabbed 3 random packs - got Red Brick Suit, Elephant Girl & Party Clown. I'm now content to wait for my set from @MinifiguresPlus - I just like to have one or two (or 3) for the packaging from each set.

The same store had just put out the Batman Movies Series 2 CMFs at the same time.

benbacardi · March 2018

They had these at my local Smyths in Titchfield yesterday. Unfortunately they always decant them from the boxes and hang them all up, so it's a lot harder to know if they've been rifled through or not!

hayduke · March 2018

Kinda new to lego collecting here, but other than that it's rare (one per box), what's the significance of the policeman minifig? Why does everyone want it so bad?

I think mostly to complete the set, but also for some people because it's a figure intended to commemorate the 40th anniversary of the advent of the modern minifigure, which is neat.

It’s celebrating the first Lego Minifigure which was a policeman. He comes with a tile that is supposed to be a copy of the set box.

hayduke · March 2018

Ah, thanks, I get it now.

dragon114 · March 2018

got a full set at target with police man

Rakul · March 2018

I found these at Target at Virginia Center north of Richmond. At the cash registers and they are selling them,

that where i got my full set.

krklint · March 2018

I found these in Willmar, MN on March 29th, in the Wal-Mart toy aisle. I was the first person to discover them = Full set including the coveted Police Man. First response, I really enjoy the man in a cake figure, and specifically the cake! Time to add a Cake Shop to my city's main street :D

krklint · March 2018

@Legolis my cop was in the left column towards the back of the box. It was about the 4th one to the back, and its wrapper was crushed slightly, as if it had been forced into the box by hand, instead of by machine. Hope this helps someone out.

starfire2 · March 2018

I found them at Walmart today as well.

I think it is mostly for a complete set (because without him you technically do not get a complete set).

ELLIOTANDDAD · March 2018

anyone know where each figure is in the box, example would be brick guy third back on the left row or is it different in each box

madforLEGO · March 2018

I do not worry about such things anymore, because where I typically find the boxes they either are: Taken out of the box and hung up on endcaps, or (in LDCs) dumped into a giant bowl, or they are jumbled up by employees in the box they came in. I rarely find a box that has been unmolested.. Ironically I would find such boxes at TRU, but since TRU is no more I guess I would need to hunt these at Walmart (at least to find them in a box)

MooreFX · March 2018

I stopped at Walmart to pick up a few last minute Easter basket stuffers, and found a box of series 18 unopened. This is the first time I have ever been first to feel through a box. I found the policeman exactly where it was mentioned above, thanks, 4th from the back on the left side. Rachael, the girl working the toy section, helped me feel out a complete set. I didn’t go out early, it was like 11:30 AM or so. Maybe these aren’t going to be as popular, though my son was excited when I got home. Nobody else was shopping for them while we felt through the bags. I really like this set, it is hard to pick a favorite mini-fig.
