Cool. Looks as though it shouldn't be TOO tough to complete the set. I'll be spending a lot of time standing in the aisle squeezing bags though. Wait, what? I hate doing that,makes me feel uncomfortable the funny looks you get off staff. I always feel like the staff think i'm trying to steal the figure. But you have to do it otherwise you end up with five homers. With some sets it's easy to tell when you squeeze the bag. With this series 2 of the Simpsons it isnt as easy so I dont squeeze I just buy, which is why I have 4 Smithers.

This set is very hard to find who you want, I've got three Martin's I thought I was getting moleman, bart and milhouse.

Keep your bag squeezing to your own time...here's a chart to help you not feel like such a weirdo... The chart doesn't work, the dots are extremely had to see.

This set is very hard to find who you want, I've got three Martin's I thought I was getting moleman, bart and milhouse. I was able to put together a full set in ~15 minutes just feeling the bags. Feel for the unique accessories (i.e. Bart's sling shot, Milhouse's soda can) and then use head details to sort out characters with similar accessories (lots of 2x2 tiles in this wave. Bart's head is easy to find.

I have 2 or 3 Mole Mans.

I agree that the dots can be difficult, but I've used it quite effectively thus far...only made a misjudgement once...ended up with a Lisa when I wanted a Maggie.

Down on the bottom...there's a strip of blue, and when looking at the back of the package they appear as indicated on the guide...but sometimes they are VERY hard to see. They're not paint or images, they're pressed into the packaging.

I find that some of the bags have dots from the other bags lightly printed on them, probably because they are tightly squeezed into the box.

I finally completed the set today using the squeeze system, it took me an hour to do as I've noticed this series of figures are very tightly sealed, there is not much movement in the bags.
