It appears that the LEGO Collectible Minifigures Series 16 (71013) has starting to hit some stores like Toy R Us as well as some LEGO Stores. Considering that there has been any official news or announcements on this latest wave from LEGO, it’s interesting to see them being sold so early since they were scheduled for a September release. LEGO sleuth CM4Sci has been doing some phone calling and has found out that:
They want the Disney series to come back in September so it can be sold alongside the Disney castle, so they pushed Series 16 up.
I’m not sure if this is legitimate from LEGO but remember we do have the general release of the LEGO Disney Castle (71040) on September 1 while VIPs can get it from August 17-31. If you’ve been waiting for Series 16 to come out, you may want to check around because they might be already out in the wild and you might get lucky. Let us know in the comments if you did indeed find them available for purchase in stores.

ANOTHER Mexican guy?
Its COMPLETALY different. AND You get an acoustic guitar!
Get enough and you can re-create the climactic scene in Three Amigos, too! He is, by far, my favorite minifig in this series.

Rats, I forgot about the mother and baby – I might not have bought fun in the park if I’d have thought of it.
The baby in Series 16 set is very different from the baby in the Fun in the Park set. I just saw a photo, after doing a quick Google search for image, and the series 16 baby has a square opening on the bottom and can stand on a stud. The baby sitter is very young with an interesting hair style. I would like to know how the Mexican’s mustache is attached to the head. I think it attaches as a collar and sits out.
Actually it is exactly the same, except for the color, maybe you’re confusing it with the S15 Indian’s baby?
You are correct about the mustache, as that pice has been used on several figures in the past in various colors.
Thank you for the correction. I did confuse the Indian baby with the fun in the park baby. Purchased the fun in the park set while doing a display in Richmond Virginia and have not looked at the set since. I apologize for the confusion.
Really looking forward to this Minifig series.

will this be the disney series 1 that’s coming back?
Yes.
Called my only TRU just now and asked if series 16 was out yet. Was on hold for a while, guy came back and said they have one box that is street dated Sept 1, tried it thru register and it was flagged, guess I may not see Series 16 early.
To bad I don’t have a local LEGO store either.
Has anyone seen them at Target as that’s where I like to buy them.
The Toys R Us I checked (in Columbus, OH) had already sold out of their minifigs by 1:00 pm, when I got there. Luckily, my brother went to a different TRU location and had no problem buying about 25 of them. We called our LEGO store, who said they did not have them for sale.
Got 15 of the 16 @ TrU in Aurora, CO. Mostly full box but they were out of wildlife photographer minifig.
The Lego collectibles Minifiguer series 16 is available at Toy R Us?
