Title: My Everdreamerz Dream
Post by: JLMatterer on July 07, 2020, 20:36:28
This is a true story. Honestly, it is.  8}

I went to Sir Troy's, which is the only store where I can buy Everdreamerz (EZ) surprise boxes. I looked at the boxes & didn't see any sort of code like what is on the Fi?ures bags. Those codes can identify the figures within that case. I decided to buy 8 boxes from different parts of the display case & hope for the best.

I ended up with 3 chocolicious, 2 toothache, 1 ice cream clown, 1 dentist, & 1 balloon lady!!! I was happy despite the repeats.

The next morning, I dreamt that I was looking at a pile of EZ boxes, & noticed a set of code numbers in the upper left hand corner of one of the boxes. After I awoke, I remembered my dream & looked at one of the empty boxes; there was no code where I had dreamt there was. A closer look showed that there was actually a code, in white text, on the top of the box itself. Of my 8 boxes, I had 3 codes that matched (choco), 2 more that did (toothache), & 3 individual sets.

I went back to Sir Troy's on Sunday & grabbed the 7 codes I needed, plus an extra balloon lady, so now I have all 12 figures with only a few repeats. If the case doesn't get replaced by the time I make it back to the store, I'll try to get doubles.

I can only credit the dream to the fact that I take good meds at night.

Just like with the bags, you sometimes get multiple codes for the same contents. I got an entire case and it had only 2 Balloon lady and 2 Mrs Bubblegum.  The extras are all toothaches,  appropriately.

It's a great story, Jim, with a great outcome.
It's not just me that dreams about PM, then!  :-[

I have managed to get 2 of all the surprise figures, & there were indeed multiple codes for 2 or 3 of them in the case at Sir Troy's. Fortunately, it seems the distribution of the figures was pretty good & there aren't too many repeats of the same figure. Troy expects to get series 2 pretty soon. Sorry to hear about all of your Toothaches, Tim.

My extras were also toothaches. Is it on purpose, to have more of the weakest figure?

That's just crazy. I think there are too many Chocolicious' in Troy's case, but I'm not sure about Toothache.

Troy has all of the new Scooby-Doo sets, so I have to make it back to start acquiring.

:o

But only want one set (or two), then, parts and klickys hunt.. Though the one I really want didn't appear yet - or I didn't see her - that gorgeous white(ish?) hair in 70366 :love:

70366 is the one set I picked up! But... the hair... it's made of the same rubbery stuff used for Drago in HTTYD (9248) & has the same visible seam running around the top. It's also attracting fuzzies just like Drago's hair. It's still neat, & I don't mind the seam too much, but it gets dirty/smudged quickly.

Yes, the sculpt is not new...  But seems beautiful. I MUST get my hands on that klicky in numbers. Or at least the hair!  >:D

Oh - that's good. For some reason I thought I remembered that you really weren't into Drago's hair. The witch figure IS really nice; unfortunately I smudged the hair with a soiled finger, & now the seam is a very visible black line. I suppose it can be cleaned.

My only complaint about the set is the tentacles coming out of the pot. They are 2 of the tentacles from the 3-headed sea monster that fit into its head, & don't fit into anything here; therefore the joining piece on the tentacle is obvious & looks a bit pointless. They just sit in the pot looking like unassembled pieces of the sea monster.

My problem with these hairs is that I doubt they will last 40 years (ok, and the seam)..

Noticed that too... There is no figuring them out, is there?

Well maybe the rest of the sea monster is already in the pot and cooked down. Just the tentacles are too tough to cook properly. That or the recipe calls for 3 tentacles of sea monster along with eye of newt (From one eyed newts only!) and just a drop of tarantula saliva.
