WHY is this LEGO Minifigure so SOUGHT AFTER???

There always seems to be one minifigure in every LEGO CMF wave that is particularly desirable for people. Series 27 has the Wolfpack Beastmaster - But even by usual standards, this one seems to be even more sought after, and therefore, much harder to find.
So what is it that makes this figure so attractive for LEGO fans (and, let's face it, scalpers)? Well, let me tell you.....

Have you managed to track this figure down? If not, keep faith. Don't let the scalpers win!

[@jacobe1942]

I found 7 with hand picking with good odds. Its distinct in weight and sound with big pieces and a dull card board sound from the cape packet. I found one more with a scanner. but really have a nice wolf pack now, and do not need more unless they are wildly available late season because the arm and leg prints enhance so many torsos. Happy searching.

[@keyboardking8008]

Found it by browsing several hypermarkets. Scanned the whole box 3 complete sets in 1 box

[@SteffiTewers-t8k]

I have the minifigure 🙂

[@skullkidtiger4851]

I was trying to get the Skateboard character but pulled him instead. Didn't realise he was soughtafter

[@bayou_angler87]

I happened across 4 of them in my searches for the entire lot.

[@SiobhanR28]

Scalpers ruin every hobby. Sigh. It really takes the fun out of it

[@GBBricks-Yt]

This is very true, unfortunately.

[@Demonanimator]

Solution: buy a packs worth from Lego directly and get the Wolfpack figure and the entire collection while you're at it.

[@TheDragonProject]

False scarcity created by brands is the bigger issue.

[@jacobe1942]

I agree its a big issue, but there are also some people that could not get it any other way and its a service to get the product fully distributed to all fans.

[@Mahtioh]

they are selling them for reasonable prices on brick link and save you the whole hastle of going to find them

[@Kio954b]

people need to be careful. Their army building collection could just be a shopping addiction in disguise.

[@r.vorhansen7076]

Lego for me total addiction. I have it under control tho! 😂😂

[@Brickbandito]

Probably. Although it’s not too bad with Lego as if you buy the right thing it more than holds its value. It’s a pretty decent investment as far as physical collectibles go

[@brickpantsstudios853]

I don't need an army of these, but it's ridiculous that there are people who just buys them all

[@diatonicdelirium1743]

I would have gladly ordered 12 from Lego directly if they'd offered it. What's a wolfpack without a pack of wolves? High time for battlepacks.

[@lifeveteran79]

Got my army​@@diatonicdelirium1743

[@dedalionarts6077]

And that's more or less the problem if you wanna get the Wolfpack bandit. Just because you don't wanna build an army, doesn't mean others won't.

[@karemelskares]

I don't even understand why you would want a humongous army of these. I like having a bunch of different figs from the same series lined up, Not a bunch of the same ones! That's boring.

[@pawestarzyk8816]

what is ridiculous about this? When someone need to buy 200 chairs you tell the same?

[@jwautophoto6650]

There’s an easy way to fix this. Lego needs to recreate the castle theme. Just like the medieval town square, Instead of that being a standalone set, it should have been 1 of a wave of castle themed sets with the castle branding reintroduced. If we had a whole wave of sets at that quality at different price points, this figure here would be way less desirable because if people can’t find one, oh well, they can just pay £20 for a castle set and get one similar. This is a clear indication that everyone wants castle back so why don’t they just do it? They’d sell loads I’m sure

[@GBBricks-Yt]

LEGO seem to be happy to leave castle to the Bricklink program, these days. That causes problems of its own, though, as that program only has a limited number of sets available.

[@2changotb]

@@GBBricks-Yt Not only the availability, but the bricklink sets seem to be specifically for collectors with their price points. I'm an adult with the income to spend but man I don't always wanna drop 2 weeks of groceries on some plastic bricks, sometimes I just wanna pick up a $20 set and we don't get those for castle anymore.

[@markbellofatto2061]

I miss the medieval themes so much

[@mikkeljakobsen4068]

This problem seems to be almost exclusive to castle figures. Only got the dragonborn because i asked my local store, and they opened a new box just for me

[@jonnycatland1987]

Then technically it's the fault of LEGO. They know Castle sells well, release one fig, and an entire series of space but no castle? Why? If it sells so well, why not include multiple castle figs or include MORE of the Beastmaster. I know they see the past of how castle figs have always been sought after.

[@onithekid]

i got my hands on 7 of them through a series of about 3 - 4 trips, the series will be here for 2 - 3 months, you will get your hands on some i promise you

[@onithekid]

and im not a scalper, i dont buy them to sell them, i buy them for ME, My army lol, so i will def be looking for more

[@Brickbandito]

@@onithekidagreed. If people want one they gotta put in the work, it’s not my fault I find them every time I go looking 🤷‍♂️

[@groscas]

cause people want 100 of them ,then scalpers see its harder to come by so they also want 100 of them. army builders and scalpers feeding off each other and ruining the fun for everyone else.

[@keyboardking8008]

Wolfpack are thieves , they don't have an army , not to mention that beastmasters are specialists , you don't have an army of just beastmasters

[@dedalionarts6077]

Add the fact that other figures in that line aren't even half as desireable as the Bandit, and you get a lot of dissapointed and pissed fans.

[@markbellofatto2061]

No kidding. I always would just mix my different minifigures together. Like the black armor knights from '99, '04, etc. Not EVERY knight type needs a faction/army.

[@natbarmore]

@@dedalionarts6077 that’s the one part I disagree about. I can observe that the wolfpack beastmaster has become the hardest to find, but it’s not at all clear to me that this is the “most desirable”, vs it being driven by the feedback loop of scalpers and army builders. I think more people want _multiple_ beastmasters, but I’m not sure more people want the beastmaster _at all._ And if you’d asked me before release, I would’ve guessed that the wolfpack beastmaster, pirate quartermaster, steampunk inventor, and jetpack racer would be all about equally sought after.

[@groscas]

@@dedalionarts6077 this is all a matter of perspective ,some people don't care at all for castles ,ive seen alot of hype for the mini with the missing hand or the steampunk guy.

[@putin1878]

If Lego would realease full Medieval/Castle minifig series, I would just buy 3 big boxes of them. It should be clear that this series is highly desired. No idea why Lego is not having 1 release a year full medieval.

[@RioBricks]

LEGO for some reason thinks the best idea for releasing one of the only new and awesome looking castle figures this year that they know will be sought after is to make it exclusive to a stupid blindbox gambling system that artificially creates a limited supply.

[@GreenNinj4]

theres 2 parties to blame. 1) Lego. They know the desirebility and notice how well castle stuff sells, yet still choose to make this so limitedly available. 2) Scalpers and Army Builders. One of the two will already have bought all available figs before you find one. I drove two hours to the next brand store in my area and an employee told me that the same 5 people stand there every morning waiting for it to open and buy all the desirable figs, especially the wolfmasters…

[@GBBricks-Yt]

What's all the more irritating is that as much as we are adult LEGO fans, as a dad, it annoys me so much that adults are taking more kids toys than they'd ever need rather then let children have a chance to buy some.

[@chiefyt9250]

Those same 5 people who stand there every morning waiting to buy all the desirable minifigures are sad.

[@chiefyt9250]

@@GBBricks-Yt Yes. This is what annoys me the most. That their greed is ruining things for children.

[@Brickbandito]

@@chiefyt9250as if kids these days care about Lego castle theme. They couldn’t tell you the difference between a Beastmaster and astronomy kid. And if they want one they can get out there and put in the work like everyone else or just be grateful for the fig they do happen to get

[@karemelskares]

LEGO should just release a new Medievel/Fantasy theme at this point. The scalping is getting worse every year. It would benefit everyone, and would make LEGO a shit ton of money.

[@JinWBO]

Since I got into Series 27 a couple weeks after release, i ended up missing out on this figure and struggled to find it for a good week or so, scanning every near-full racks with no luck. However, I did manage to find at least two of these (possibly more but I never checked), and one was thanks to a few LEGO collectors in the store who thankfully wasn't looking for the Wolfpack themselves. We helped each other find the minifigs we needed, and I genuinely love that about this community. As mentioned, I got two of these, mainly so I can keep a spare copy in case I either lose or damage my first one. I didnt resort to buying from scalpers, thankfully.

[@capybara2671]

I've just started ordering a full set online for the past few series. Just makes it easier.

[@tomjames9681]

I think Lego need to a show a little bit more foresight in making army builder characters. Maybe up the numbers per box. Simply put, there are figures that lend themselves to having multiples, way more than others. This means buying multiples is a far more frequent behaviour. My advice would be to try and visit stores that sell Lego but aren’t designated stores. You’ll have a good chance at finding some. I love a lot of other figures in this series. Love the wolf pack figure. Just a perfect minifig. Great detail, accessories, parts. Well worth that higher price of CMF.

[@nicolaikurejeppesen9727]

As far i know... except werewolfs.... This is the very first proper wolf in the lego universe....

[@ericliberti4359]

Oh man, I’ve been struggling to find the Dragonborn Paladin from the D&D minifigures to complete that set, now I have a new impossible quest! So, so many hours of my childhood were spent making the Wolf Pack raid the Forest Men and the Black Knight castles… definitely tons of nostalgia for me

[@GBBricks-Yt]

Yeah, the Paladin didn't seem to be spoken about much to begin with, and then suddenly it was almost impossible to find. I did manage to get that one, the D&D one I ended up not being able to find was the half halfling druid. I scanned one, but didn't open it straight away. When I opened it months later, it wasn't the Druid after all and the shops had stopped selling them by then.

[@rajanlad]

Try looking for it in like late March -april range at a lego store near you or big store. At the end of DnD line I was able to find paladin minifig easily

[@captain_barnacles]

Shops around me (ASDA in the uk) seem to have the d&d ones still, lots of fresh boxes with dozens in, kept coming across that Dragon paladin one - was looking for that barbarian looking one to go with Viking stuff. Also found the wolf chap at another supermarket first pack I picked up!

Why is it sought after? It’s an awesome figure with a great wolf, exclusive parts and prints, and you can make an army out of it. It’s awesome.

[@Brickbandito]

It’s leagues above the other figures. As if Lego doesn’t know that it would be a hit and people would go crazy over it

[@jmashups6804]

It was insane to me. I wanted one before I heard it was so rare, and a *local* Walmart, half the boxes were torn open, and not a figure in sight. Absolutely insane to me.

[@BaronYolo]

I've managed to find three Beastmasters after about 2 weeks of going from store to store and that's a perfect amount for my Wolfpack crew and MOCs so my hunt is officially over. But his availability, or lack thereof, is just crazy. Staff from both Lego stores in my city have said that queues had been forming well before the store's opening almost every day since the figure's release. We must hope Lego provides sufficient supply of this CMF series and I wish the best of luck to every non-scalper looking for the figure! It would also be great if Lego added the torso, legs and wolf mould to PaB after the series retirement, but I'm afraid they won't do it.

[@THFC-COYS83]

I struggled to find the Falconeer, a few series' back. That was more down to being rubbish at feeling the bags than a shortage though, i think!

[@scottcooper5060]

I've gotten 5 total, 4 for me and one for my brother. He isn't into lego but wolfpack was our jam as kids. I'm going to include them with my castle stuff. The first one I got was the only one I found at that store, but everywhere else I left at least one behind for someone else

[@kaltech04]

I have two of them now. The first one I got from Barnes and a noble, I was scanning boxes talking to the cashier and telling him what I was trying to find. He was also a Lego fan and was kind enough to bring a fresh box out so I could get one. Then a week or two later I ran across another in the bin at Walmart. I wouldn’t mind getting a couple more if I can. I don’t need an army of Wolfpack guys, but a small band of them would be nice.

[@chiefyt9250]

I would consider enjoying the two that you already have for the time being and buying some of the old wolf pack minifigures from 1992 off eBay instead. They don't go for much. Also why do you need a small band of the exact same minifigure?

[@Brickbandito]

@@chiefyt9250to customize it of course. Why do you care what other people choose to buy 😂

[@diatonicdelirium1743]

Don't forget that it's a choice by Lego that you can't just buy the figure you want! No scalping if Lego simply sells as many as people want.

[@AK.__]

But then, the collectability point destroyed. Who wants minifigure / set available any time everywhere? There is no demand at all for built-in-store minifigures, cause the supply is unlimited.

@@diatonicdelirium1743 This is also. For some people including myself - the collectible point in these : to find complete set of some cool (in my point of view) series.

I thought it was weird I could find one. I'm not super big into lego, but I like to pick up 1 or 2 minifigs from the series. This was one of 2 I was looking for. Kindve a shame I might not be able to get one. Lucky to get this video recommended.

[@Brush4000]

It's simple: people want to army build. Use different heads and you can have an army of 40, despite being able to buy the torso at PAB. The problem with any hobby is certain people will buy scalper prices, so some people will think they will retire by buying up anything that is geek related. Because there are some people who will pay way jacked up prices for fear of missing out. Not enough for all the scalpers but every scalper is hoping to get lucky to get the guy with too much money. Scalpers are bad, but the people who reward scalpers are why scalpers exist. If less people went to scalpers over recent releases this wouldn't be a problem, but scalers are reacting to a market.

[@mrwillb3227]

Hi, another reason for them being hard to find is they are located in the first row on the top for 2 of them, so even people not scanning and not in the know, just take the first couple will get 2 of the wolfpack figure, when they come across a new box. The 3rd is located to the back left on bottom i think.

[@masterbuilder2856]

Hi. A small correction. An unsearched fresh case of 36 figures will have the Wolfpack Beastmaster on the bottom. The first three on left side. I've managed to search four fresh cases and they were all in the same place. I got lucky with those and I was able to share them with friends. Hope this helps. Good luck hunting.... 👍

[@keyboardking8008]

Also scanned a box and most figures ware 2 of the same type next to each other , but 1 wolf was at the end of the box

[@A..D..D]

That’s interesting it’s done that way. I haven’t been able to go through a new case of 27’s. Old series would have 3 of each figure next to each other.

[@sqrabbit1]

After they shifted from bags to boxes I started just buying a full case of each release. Saves me the aggravation of hunting and can just sell the extras I don’t want.

[@GBBricks-Yt]

Yeah, sounds like a plan!

[@RichardJardine-l1g]

Buying those parts individually on Lego PAB would be over $10

[@Joe-cr6uq]

In my experience, you just need to wait another month. Once the hype is over, they’ll be everywhere. Just like the DnD figures.

[@Brickbandito]

So true. Even now that it’s discontinued I’m finding loads of paladins on dusty shelves in my local shops

[@OrdinarilyBob]

I bought two full S27 CMF sets from a third party online vendor, so I got two Wolfpack Beastmasters right off the bat. I then went out to all my local shops that sell LEGO CMFs (including two different LEGO stores) a couple of times, and scanned all their boxes, but never found any. It wasn't until a recent business trip, at the Houston Airport LEGO store, that I found a Wolfpack Beastmaster in the wild. They are definitely difficult to find.

[@Trikeboy2]

My B&M got a few packs in. I didn't scan all of the boxes though. I took 3 Wolfpack figs and a couple of Pirate Quartermasters. 3 was enough for me, and, thanks to the D&D series, I had a few spare heads doing nothing so I customized the other two.

[@aquapucci]

Main and only reason: scalpers.

[@WolfpackBricks63]

What I've also noticed from various accounts is that the Dragonborn Paladin is becoming easier to find now. No joke, I went to my local Walmart to scan some of the blind boxes and it was the VERY FIRST D&D pack I grabbed! So I bought it, and hopefully I can trade it for a Wolfpack Beastmaster somewhere.

[@MarioMayer]

Friend of mine ordered around 1500 packs from various stores and scanned them at home. Took out the beastmaster, returned the rest. I was not mad at that attempt lmao. He sold 160 at once at bricklink for around 15 Euro/each. Crazy times.

[@ullbill]

Yeah they had 7-8 boxes back here in some stores and none were found. Don't underestimate the power of 6 pack boxes because they can contain 2-3 of the same one when you are unlucky. It's funny because lots of people are vlogging about this situation, including me. Good luck and cheers!

[@hanzerik594]

The goat was less popular because it wasn't also a the "knight" of that series, that was Basil the batlord. no-one is going to army-build the goat hearder, while Basil and the Wolfback guy on the other hand...

​@@keyboardking8008 Willa the witch was the leader of the fright knights basil usually worked by himself and even though he was equivalent to a general or so, you don't see him in many of the old sets with any of the fright knights but instead riding a black dragon with red wings. It's actually really interesting how the faction itself has a mini story through the cmf lines when they appear.

[@hanzerik594]

@keyboardking8008 because the outfit doesn't necessarily scream leader

[@AdamBragg]

Another factor which is making this figure hard to find is the number of people who are buying it in bulk (via the scanner app) not for themselves, but to resell online. This not only makes it harder to find, but artificially boosts the price as well by removing them from the shops only to create an online source at higher prices. Yay, greed...

[@GBBricks-Yt]

Yeah, very much so.

[@Brickbandito]

It’s called supply and demand. It’s hardly greed. One party controls the supply and the other party demands it from them at any price. The buyers are just as much to blame tbh, who would pay $20 for one of these my god

[@AdamBragg]

@@Brickbandito It's both an example of the business principle of supply and demand and an example of the human flaw of greed. The two concepts are not mutually exclusive as they aren't in the same category. One is an aspect of economic theory and the other is an aspect of psychology. Furthermore, it is manufactured demand since there are many alternative means of gaining either a Wolf Pack figure that isn't the specific "Beast Master" CMF, or by building an army from any of the other medieval factions from LEGO or independent custom fig sources. LEGO promotes THIS figure and suddenly everyone wants it because they're being told they want it. This is where business theory and psychology intersect into marketing!

[@Brickbandito]

@@AdamBragg economics and psychology interrelate You might see it as greed where others see it as a business opportunity. Is every seller on bricklink greedy? They buy low and sell high too, It’s business. If one does want to build a Wolfpack faction I’d say grabbing a bunch of Beastmasters is the cheapest and most accessible way to do it. There are so many good parts that you can use to mix and match, and they sell for $3 usd in like 5 different shops in my town, it’s too good of a deal to turn down. But I don’t think we quite have the same supply issue in Australia as others around the world

I got lucky and went to a store in Melbourne Australia before open on release and got a couple of them to give to my freinds who collect the cmf

[@Nadiki]

I got super lucky and went into a store that had just stocked them that morning - 2 weeks before January! Got 2 Wolfpacks then, really glad I did. I’ve only found them once since, and I distributed them amongst friends

[@deathtoad88]

I wanted him cause he looked cool. Got him after a couple weeks looking around, goes well with the DnD figs

[@ramirofranco9349]

He's perfect, plus that wolf. I got 4 along with the whole series. Also Vidyo Minifigures were in boxes first spent a lot trying to collect the whole series.

[@pawarl.o.s.881]

I found a fresh case of this series at Walmart and had the scanner app ready to look for it. Got one on the first try.

[@rrcortez8561]

This is the first time I have seen a Minifigure with 4 quality accessories and an oversized headpiece. Stop blaming buyers. This is a crazy good deal. Normally you get 1 or 2 accessories or a an oversized headpiece. A full shield, printed. A long sword A long fabric cape The largest animal in a CMF Only an idiot would pass this up. Fortunately, I arrived at a location when they first went out and got 1. I was so surprised 1 was left. It is almost a 2 pack by weight. Lego really went all out. It will be very valuable one day.

[@ElectricPeaPlayz]

ever since the scan box thingy got a subscription requirement i feel like people are stealing from the boxes more often every store i visit has these boxes ripped open

[@jaidens.g.1920]

I legit just got this guy randomly because I saw them on a rack on target and happened to get him, had no idea he was this rare until this video came up in my feed

[@GBBricks-Yt]

You got a result!

[@bobbeckman3735]

Bought two 6 box mini figure boxes and there was one in each. Good to know they will be worth something

[@solacm8673]

Thank you for this. I checked my local Target and found 3.

[@Renkencen]

I'm so glad that I'm only after the space racer than the Beastmaster! I just know at work (retail with toys), one of the boxes from the stand, had two Space racer which I hid behind the shelves (going to buy it today). I have no doubt the beastmaster is already been sold out as from the previous DnD wave, some jerk literally took all of the Paladin! Fortunately the toystore nearby had one that I scanned from the app but had to paid full price (if I bought it from work, would have been 10%-20% depending on the day). Also recently a supermarket had two DnD boxes for unknown reasons as that supermarket has the latest LEGO set except for the minifig. Once again the Paladin is all gone but I'm not bother as I only wanted to get the Druid and Tiefling and got them in the end (didn't knew the new Minifig were coming out soon and the toystore immediately replace the Dnd with the new one).

[@GBBricks-Yt]

I got the Paladin in the end. Just got lucky and found one in a shop. That was after having been to a couple of LEGO shops which had been completely wiped out of them. It's crazy.

[@Renkencen]

@@GBBricks-Yt What bother me was with the DnD minifig, I was the one that set up the stand which while I was doing that, I was daydreaming on which MF to get. Also no, I didn't set up the newest wave stand. Thanks to this and the last wave, I think next time, I need to be up to date with the MF reveal. That way when we do get the stand at work, I gonna have to scanned em on my next day off (no way I can do that at work). When I find the one(s) I'm after, either buy it or put it in the warehouse of office with my name on it. Just that sometime, at the end of the month (not every month), we get 20% off instead of 10%. With that Dnd Stand, I set it up two ro three weeks before the 20% discount and I figure it won't be sold out by them eventhought I know DnD is popular. Granted I have seen some packs were sold but not all of it, like 20%- 30% from the stand were sold.

[@mexicahotcheetos]

i got the pterodactyl cosplayer today, glad the scalpers didnt want her bc shes my fav from series 27

[@GBBricks-Yt]

My son loves that one.

[@tinyfreckle]

Luckily I live in NZ so we dont even have series 27 in stores yet and therefore I dont have to deal with this problem for another few months.

[@plethorabricks3165]

I found this minifig in my local Sainsburys in uk from just 1 full box. I only wanted the wolf itself, so i'mtrying to sell the minifig but no one seems interested!

[@lad3273]

I got my hands on 5 after several trips and I had to go like the day they came out just to find any

[@fminyoutube]

Bud, you forgot to mention the Lion Knight's in BAM going on right now, I managed to build an army out of that one, with the dual coloured shield even! And the silver helmet, what a win!

[@Kimmybo82]

I must have been really lucky. I went to my local B&M store less than a week ago and they had been putting the display out, they stopped because a guy just moved between the workers and started scanning packs. He must have only got a set for himself as there weren't many missing. Managed to get the 3 I wanted, Pterodactyl, Cupid (for my greek myth collection) and 2 of the wolfpack guy. I wanted the wolfpack guy because I wanted to see what other figures I could create using him, some of the d&d ones and others, to be my own d&d type characters. There were several unopened boxes when I left the shop.

[@thoso1973]

Got two for myself, just like the wanderer with the goat. They'll find a home in the castle moc I'm doing. I found two more at the store and left them there for someone else. Blind bought a bunch of the D&D series as most of them will be useful for my moc too.

[@GBBricks-Yt]

Nice! Sounds good

[@thoso1973]

@@GBBricks-Yt Thanks. If you're looking for castle theme 'civilians', you'll have to be a bit creative. Found the pirate lady with a parrot from S27 too (she can pass for castle) and I'll be getting the Medieval Market later this year. Thinking about the Viking Village before it is retired.

[@mrb76310]

Got lucky and managed to nab a couple of them. They were in the bottom,near the center of the box. Honestly I was more after the wolf figure. Got my 2, I’m happy.

[@RubyMarine]

Thankful that I was able to get the full DnD minifigure set before the army builders swept in to grab all the dragonborn paladins at my LEGO store. Granted, it still took me a couple scans before I found it... At the end of the day it's simply greed getting the best of people. I don't know how feasible it is for LEGO to enforce CMF purchase limits in third party retailers, but in their own stores setting that limit may definitely help the issue.

[@matthewferguson6524]

I honestly got my hands on 5 wolfpack and a dozen falconeer just for the animals. If lego had enough sense to sell the new animals on pick a brick for an acceptable price, it would help a lot. Ie. You can buy goats now for 5 dollars or get a goat and a fig for about same price. Get with the program lego.

[@rickster_88]

Regarding the Goat Herder. I live in Canada. We got a lot of the yellow box series cmf with the small barcode that is not scannable. Lots of inventory still in a specific store.

[@caesar7734]

I was able to find one recently at Waterstones. My local Tesco, Sainsbury’s, Entertainer and WHSmith don’t have any CMFs.

[@Mouldybreaad]

Ive tried the scan app but havent found him yet, i think the trick is to find a new box just put out like you did.

[@GBBricks-Yt]

Yeah, I had a result there, to be fair.

[@masterbuilder2856]

FYI, in case you do find a brand new, unsearched, 36 pack box, the Wolfpack Beastmaster will be on the bottom. First three figures on the left side of the box.... 👍

[@miles3256]

It’s very annoying. In my small middle of nowhere town, we got 3 boxes of the cmf at the Walmart I work at. I finally got the opportunity to scan today and 6 blind boxes had already been sold. Turns out, they were the Wolfpack beastmaster. It was very frustrating. I just want one.

[@ryanbrand3154]

I live in rural Arkansas and my Walmart has had 5 Wolfpack figures on the shelf for a month now. Nobody else in my area cares I guess, they'd rather be hunting ducks instead of toys 🤣

[@GBBricks-Yt]

Haha, fair enough.

[@rolout2233]

You can use his hood to make Ringwraith (Nazgûl) - and since in lotr there are 9 of them you need wolfpack - this hood show only in star wars sets and can not buy it on pab so this is also a reason

[@DirkCannon]

I was lucky enough to get one from the lego store in downtown Disney in anaheim, ca, i was scanning them and as soon as I seen it pop up on the app I immediately stopped and went to check out

[@Url_Seth]

I have Been it several different shops including LEGO Stores scanned over 100 boxes and still haven’t gotten the Wolf Guy

[@samikazbe]

Lego should remove the QRs and sell the CMF of choice for a fiver online. I scanned over 300 boxes and couldn't find one. bought some online at 2.5 times the price :(

[@BROMLAZ]

Lego PAB online does do Wolfpack. It’s not often on there but is an alternative solution. It won’t be as detailed as the cmf figure but still really good fig

[@GBBricks-Yt]

I couldn't see any wolfpack on there the other day. They had forest men, lion Knight and Balck Falcon, but not wolfpack. Perhaps they aren't categorised correctly, as I searched medieval.

[@alycynde5237]

Scalpers and army builders are the bane for figures like this. They pretty much freeze out people like me who refuse to pay what amounts to extortionate prices for the two or three figures per year they may want. The army builders drain an area's selection which drives the desperate into the hands of the scalper scum. Pretty much a no win situation for those who don't buy by the case.

[@AK.__]

The easy solution - buy full box, leave complete series for yourself, and sell for retail price the rest of 2 complete sets. Win-win situation

[@alycynde5237]

Not necessarily. You're paying for the case when the goal is to limit the cost to one figure. Then you have to find a buyer for everything else. The only winner in that is those who collect minifigs en masse.

[@AK.__]

@@alycynde5237 Definitively, the risk involved. So I would prefer either to overpay to reseller (not necessary a scalper, the person might bough full box as above), or will buy a box and will find 2 persons interested in full series. So there is an optimal way, depends what exactly you need and funds you have. Our problem, that we are trying it very hard way: drive here and there, search, scan, ask, get and disappoint. Paying let's say even $15 for rare minifig, will cost less at the bottom line.

[@joshuageorge3919]

if you are having trouble finding the figure, I have had a lot of luck at best buy. i have found 3 from one and 2 from another one near me.

I'm glad more people are vocing their concerns for the CMF. They system is totally unfair and creates a discord amongst the fans even as some get upset that others are armybuilding. Lego should add the parts on the PaB after a few months like they do with all their unlicensed sets.
