Mystery Series 4 figures on sale in UK
« on: February 21, 2013, 11:46:28 »
My local toyshop (Stroud, Gloucestershire, UK) now has series 4 figures on sale at £1.99. They kindly let me order a box of each, which I collected today, so I will have some spares to offer for sale to other PF members soon (at cost). Watch this space!

(Clearly not a popular thread, but I don't mind talking to myself  ;))
Having now opened all 96 packs, I was very pleased to find 4 of every figure except the king (I got 8 "mad scientists" instead  :-\, at least it wasn't extras of that awful rapper guy). Quite a few extra bits too, mainly cuffs.
I have emailed DS in UK to request four packets of the missing king- lets see what they say!

I think that the lack of availability of this series might explain the silence around this thread  ;D

I am interested but I am in the US and the additional shipping costs kind of are the joy kill.

I think though the store you bought it from should be the one saying "he kindly came in and ordered a box of each"  ;)

Good luck with the king and I would be very curious to see the results

Our local toy shop got them about 2 weeks ago but I only bought 3 as I was looking for extras from some of the other series at the time and couldn't afford more.
However, they still have loads of each of the other 3 series left - I'm beginning to think that I am the person who buys them!  :lol:

Bluming heck wasn't expecting we'd get them that quick, I think the Toysrus near us didn't get Series 3 in all that long ago so might still be a bit of a wait here  :-\ ah well gives me time to save up  ;D ;)

I just saw ToysRUs here (Canada) has the Series 3 male figures (and still some Series 2 male), but only the Series 2 female figures.  2 full boxes of the latter, by the way, so based on shelf space they won't be putting the Series 3 females out till they sell off at least a box of the Series 2 ones.

good question Ismene!
I have always thought that's not possible for any DS....am I mistaken?

Received the Wizard, Roman, mad scientist, blue alien and rapper in the mail yesterday.
Great looking series!





I put a regular face on my wizard as I'm not a big fan of those painted eyes.
The rapper will join my roster of characters in my agent universe.
