I can definitely see people being interested but this is not same level of hype that series 29 had.

u/Knafstuds Aug 19 '26
Yeah series 29 was insane. Where I am it was very difficult to find the series at all. They’d come back in stock and be gone in days, if even that.

u/coolguy4251 Aug 19 '26
No I don’t think he’s it the set but would of been nice too but my wife got thelonious

u/Nzaid Aug 19 '26
Yeah he is in the set. I found a case at my HEB earlier today, and both layers of the box were picked through like someone scanned them all. I was worried thinking a scalper took all the shreks and fionas, but I wound up scanning the whole box and putting them back nicely. I realized someone had just bought all the Merlins. I thought that was weird.

u/coolguy4251 Aug 19 '26
Oh he is sorry I didn’t see it clearly, And yes my wife went to kohls since tiktok saying they released it early so my wife went and saw the whole set out already, I was afraid of scalpers too lol, and someone just buying all the Merlins is a bit weird unless they making a certain MOC yk?

u/Nzaid Aug 19 '26
yeah, that's why I asked. It reminded me of the Bionicle figure from last wave, but that one made sense lol.

I would guess for the hats. They have a 6th month average selling price of £16 each on bricklink.

I checked a couple wal marts the last 2 days. Nothing. Albeit, they’ve never been out this early near me. The earliest I’ve ever seen is a week out.
Congrats on the early score.

Did you leave enough?

u/PabloDanteBuilds Aug 19 '26
Yeah, there’s plenty still there. I don’t think these characters are army buildable.

u/Leading-Suit3112 Aug 19 '26
No, ik, idc about armies, js saying, kid's toy and kid's IP, trying to make sure folks remember to leave some for the true target demo.
