Updates from Huw and His Howling Commandos

Brickset has the latest news on Collectible Minifigures Series 3 and a new Toy Story polybag.

LEGO Ambassadors have been informed that Series 3 of the Collectible Minifigures will not have the secondary bar codes which identify the contents of the pack. This likely means that TLG found another way to inventory these figures in their system. Similar to what we did for Series 1 bar codes, we will be reporting on the Series 2 codes once they become available.

It sounds like LEGO was caught off guard by the popularity of the Series 1 figs. Does this mean there could be a shortage? Your best bet is to pick them up when and where you can. Future series will likely have higher production numbers to meet demand.

No word on which retail stores will carry it or where in the world it might surface. Given that we already have a pack shot, more details should be forthcoming.
