LEGO Simpsons Minifigures Series 2 - 99p - Argos

Curse you Buzz. I was going to leave these at 11 and never try for the last five.

I only need Krebapple, Hibbert, Martin and Marge's sisters..

I also need the car to get through its MOT today...

I've just spent nearly a tenner on these things.

My priorities are clearly in order.

Nice, In stock in the nearest 5 stores

Bargain. So if I buy 101 I get a £10 voucher..... (_;)

And 1 free as you spent over £10

The whole process is basically elimination, or at least to start with ascertaining if they are child characters or adult character. Each bag obviously has the oblong stand you have to eliminate out of the equation, then you need to feel for the other pieces...shake the bags up, feel for each piece and with your fingers move them to the sides of the bag so you can squeeze the foil around them to try and ascertain what they are.

Apart from Maggie whom is solid bodied, each bag will have a seperate body and leg torso, the adult characters have bendable legs, and you can feel that in the bag, the children have static legs.....that narrows it down straight away

Right, first familarise yourself with the tick off sheet....



As can be seen 6 characters have 2x2 tiles, 1 - Homer, 7 - Comic Book Guy, 11 - Selma, 14 - Mrs Krabbaple, 15 - Smithers, 16 - Dr Hibbert

By feeling the bags, ascertaining there to be a 2x2 tile in there, you know for certain it is going to be one of these 6 characters.....

The easiest one to ascertain is 15 - Smithers, he has two 2x2 tiles doubled up to make his accessory, the Malibou Stacy doll box, also if u isolate his head in the bag it has a flat top.

Homer or Dr Hibbert, the hardest of the bunch, you will feel they have very similar shaped heads and no other accessory in the bag. After isolating the head in the foil you will feel the ridges of the ears, both the same...it literally is a matter of feeling if you can notice bobbles on the head (do not confuse with Patty or Selma they have far rounder heads). If it has bobbles, you have Hibbert....otherwise it is Homer.

Comic Book Guy and Mrs Krabbaple.....both these have 2x2 tile and an accessory (the only two characters in the set with 2x2 tiles that do have accessories) so therefore if u feel an accessory in the bag, isolate it. U can feel the straw 'nub' of comic book guys frappuccino. You can also feel the cylindrical cup of Mrs Krabbaple and the prominence of her hair by feeling her head. Just be sure if you feel the cup you are not confusing with 6 - Milhouse who will have short legs.

Last of the 6 2x2 tile characters is Selma, easily identified by a 2x2 tile in the bag and the rounded bobble head, very easy bag I find.

This leads us onto Patty, you will obviously not feel a 2x2 tile, but rounded bobble head and isolate the purse accessory, just make sure it is not marge who has a very different head.......

Marge, very easy, bobble head of a very cylindrical long shape, the longest head in the set, very easy to feel for.

Bart, his head has ridges that can be easily felt....however it is difficult (have to really feel the bag) to find his accessory as it is a small catapult, once you have found it though it is easy to tell it is his Y shaped catapult and that you have him.

Milhouse, the only character with short legs and a cup, quite easy to identify. Isolate the head you should also be able to feel the ridge of his nose.

Martin Prince - His book in the bag is a big giveaway once you have isolated it, it unclips open and being a large rectangle has a dipped 'ridge' where the book opens. Just make sure you are not confusing it with the much smaller rectangle of Moleman.....

Moleman, the small rectangle block in the bag is a dead giveaway, it is hollowed out at the back, easy to spot. Head is small and lips prominent too.

Professor Fink - Once isolated his accessory you will feel the stem of the conical flask has a prominent ridge to it, also his tall head is quite distinctive. I found his accessory to be the easy identification.

Groundskeeper Willie....his accessory by far is his giveaway, you can feel the rod and the sponginess of the rubber in the bag, his plunger is easy to identify.

And finally Maggie and Lisa, the only solid character body in the set, both her and Lisa if you isolate the head will have the ridges of hair 'spikes' you should be able to make out the legs of the dog Santas Little Helper, otherwise chances are it is going to be Lisa instead with far blockier cat, you should be able to feel for the tail of the cat.

The last comment here is a little ambiguous because obviously as stated I was missing Lisa from my set, but should be fairly easy to distinguish between the two characters.

Happy hunting, and bag feeling.....it really is worth giving it a go due to Argos return policy with them remaining unopened.

No, they are the normal lego figure size. 'Minifigures' is the official terminology, though I've always known then as 'Legomen'

Imagine getting 10 the same :0

Bolton had excess of 300 in stock

From the 16 I Bought I Got:

5x Marge
3x Dr Hibbert
2x Bart

Homer, Millhouse, Patty, Selma, Grounds keeper Willie & Mrs Krabapple.

I am likely to return in hope of Lisa & Maggie.

Edit: Bolton store would not give me a free mini figure despite amount spent. They say offer ended yesterday (you may have more luck at other stores as some already have)
(edited)

Bought 22 and of that lot I got 12 of the 16. £8.20 to eBay filled my set.

I did pretty well, bought ten and only one duplicate

You can use the bump code sheet to see if you have any double without opening them and refund them.

pop-critica.com/ide…es/

Excellent - a cock up at the tills and a clueless DP meant I just got 12 packs for £6!

I have the following duplicates
Millhouse x 2
Groundskeeper Willie
Selma
Marge
Bart
Homer

I need

Comic guy x2
Hans Molman x2
Martin
Professor Frink
Edna

Happy to swap through here before I try the swap site that someone recommended

i bought ten and got bloody THREE millhouses! and two selmas

ffs

I got the best assistant ever, I reserved 20, planning to use extras for swaps/ ebay. But she was a collector herself and said she could open the up, and just tape up the ones I didn't need. She spent 25 mins doing this ( keeping ones she needed for herself too, after I had first choice). However this was a little quiet argos, I can't imagine them doing this in a busy store.

I have doubles of Professor Frink, Milhouse and Homer. I need Lisa, Hibbert, Martin, MoMan, Bart and krabapple

Spares I have:
- Professor Frink
- Groundskeeper Willie
- Maggie
- Milhouse
- Dr. Hibbert (x3)
- Edna Krabappel

Need: (Prefer) Bart & Comic Book Guy if someone has them?
Then also Martin, Smithers and both the Sisters.

Cheers

I think its on any one toy to be honest. I could be wrong.

Good find. Thanks for this!

Does anyone know if the free toy when you spend £10 on toys is still on ? Can't find anything on the website. Thanks.

In stock near me, thanks.
