Nice! After I ordered ours my wife said "great, we are now 25% done with Christmas shopping"
Bahaha! Your wife and I are birds of a feather!

We bought it last week at the LEGO store in DS along with a few other sets and the Emporium still had LOADS of minifigs left! We ended up with over $50 in LEGO VIP credits and are now plotting what to spend that on!
Ugh, the Lego VIP Program is like crack (or what I'd think is like crack). Once you buy something big, you get stuck in a rut, and start buying more big sets with the VIP discounts!
There are more mini figures at the Lego store online!
I can confirm that in the Atlanta area. Came across a full unopened box two days ago at my local Target.Reports are that they're also back at Target too.
I'll trade you your extra Mr. Incredible for my extra Mr. IncredibleI've been trying to snatch up those minifigs at the store when ever I see them, I now have an extra Peter Pan and an extra Mr. Incredible, anyone want to trade?

It's Syndrome's worst nightmare!!!!!We can have an army of Mr. Incredibles! We'll be unstoppable
I've got extra Mickey, Minnie, and Ursula. Don't have Mr. Incredible. Any of those interest either of you?
I finally broke down and ordered one of these on Black Friday. Now I find my collector's impulse is out-pacing Lego's production, and I'm trying to find other Lego Disney pieces that might supplement it nicely.
The Disney Blind Bags currently available are obvious, but beyond those, I've been trying to come up with past lego pieces that might build off the "Disney Parks" theme well.
There are several Toy Story 3 figures I'd like to pickup. I think the Toy Story 3 Buzz & Jessie's unique parts deviate a bit too far from a standard lego person for my taste. I prefer the look of the Buzz from the blind bags. But I don't really mind the animal characters from the Toy Story sets, such as Bullseye, Rex or Hamm. The Green Army Men also look like they'd fit right in (and are known to wander Hollywood Studios on the regular).
I'd like to snag at LEAST a Captain Jack Sparrow from the Pirates of the Caribbean line. Wouldn't mind a Barbossa and a Davy Jones either (though Authentic Davys look to cost a pretty penny these days)
I'm considering grabbing some of the more park-prominent Star Wars characters like R2-D2, C-3PO... perhaps Chewy, Vader, Kylo Ren & some Stormtroopers. (Think I already have some of these in a lego bin somewhere)
I'd like to get a Lightning McQueen and a Mater from the multitude of Cars 2 sets out there. Problem here is the Lightning I think best matches the in-park version is one of the more scarce & expensive ones. Might have to settle for a less ideal one.
There are even quite a few small characters and accessories in the Disney princess line lego currently makes that I think would compliment this set well. I prefer to avoid the more stylized mini-figures in these sets, but some of the "accessory" characters I think are fine. The Little Mermaid sets come with a Flounder & Sebastian I think would look great with the blind bag Ariel. The Beauty and the Beast set has quite a few small characters I wouldn't mind having. Mrs Potts, Lumiere, Chip, Cogsworth and then some (the castle itself is even half-decent, though clearly not the same level as this one). There's a half-okay Olaf and Sven in some of the frozen sets.
Just ideas for building a more robust Magic Kingdom on my shelf, haha. If I could get some tiny ear hats and mickey balloons I'd even stick some tourists in there!
I want to see this real badI bought a bunch of "pick a brick" and elevated the castle and built the front stage and side stairs. Next I'm planning on using the sets like the Brick Bank and the Movie Theater to make Main Street! Post pictures when you have yours built.
It's really not that impressive. I think of it more of a work in progress. Trial and error of what works.I want to see this real bad
