Harry Potter CMF (I got very lucky)

Post by Lil_Curt »

So with the latest CMF instalment of Harry Potter. There is only one of Percival Graves in the whole case of 60. While not as rare as a Mr. Gold this will still be a sought after figure.

We went to a local Walmart yesterday and noticed a new case that was missing about 6-8. Thought what the heck and did a blind draw of 8, no feeling for figures. We had to go back to the same Walmart today and the case only had 6 left and was obviously decimated. Well again bought the last 6, no feeling, and on the second to last bag all I hear from my wife was " no way... There's no way... You lucky SOB..." Long story short we got Mr. Graves. We thought I would be looking for the next few months or would have to get on via bricklink. Needless to say I am very happy I got him, when the odds were not in my favor.

On a random pick of 10 from my local LEGO store, I had four duplicate minifigs. My drawing skills have not been very good of late.

I had already bought a case of these figs. I wasn't impressed enough with that fig to care to find more than the one I had. He's rather...meh. Maybe I'll like him more over time for for now...shrug.

BUT...I saw these figs at the self check out at Target...figured "I LOVE the accessories...pick up 3" I didn't do the "touching" thing (because) that just makes me feel very weird...scanned threw in the bag...forgot about them for like 4 hours...and low and behold...the first one I opened was this fig. Luck? Funny?

Maybe I should go buy some lottery tickets.
