Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybag
Currently TRU has a new Hobbit polybag out, the Mirkwood Elf Guard! The price is a buck more than polybags normally sell for, but it's a great way to build a forest with the tree and mushroom pieces included, and also a great elven army builder! The dark green hood should also look fantastic with Eomer's green cape!

Re: Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybag
This is the same Mirkwood Elf from the Barrel Escape set with a dark green hood instead of long hair. But it's still an awesome ploy bag that I'd pay an extra $1 for.
Re: Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybag
Nice little set. I can see getting a few.
Re: Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybag
Yeah , hope the scalpers dont bag em all right away.

Re: Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybag
I'm hoping there's still a couple on the shelves this weekend when I head down to the States.
Re: Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybag
Very nice set. Too bad they do not sell any polybags in Russia

Re: Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybag
It's available on toysrus.com right now. Limit 5. It qualifies for $25 off $100. I wish I could get 21 of these. They also have Frodo's poly with limit 5 too. Between those 10 sets, you qualify for free shipping. Other sets that qualify are Snowman and road plates. (Wreath is now OOS.)
Be careful: it only discounts $25 from one set, so at least one selection needs to be 25+

Re: Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybag
Not sure why it is stated this is a buck more. $4.99 is always the price of polybags at TRU. It's the standard TRU markup.
I'm guessing this ends up being a TRU exclusive like Frodo Cooking Corner? Can anyone confirm that or is there a chance we see it elsewhere in the nearish future?
I'm surprised this made it in stores before any other info was out there. Recent LotR polys were leaked months in advance..both the cooking corner and Urak-hai with ballista.
Speaking of, i never did find the Urak-hai with ballista polybag in stores...I heard it was at Legoland stores and available in Europe...I broke down and bought mine from ebay.
I feel like I should search the internet a little better and see if there is any other polybag info out there we haven't seen yet.

Re: Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybag
O M G I want!
I'm upset I got a hair cut on my lunch break and I didn't go to TRU to use my 20% off coupon...
So now the hunt begins!

Re: Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybag
I said a buck more than polybags normally sell for, not a buck more than they normally sell for at TRU. Yes the price is $5 like all TRU polybags, but it's not $4 like polybags sold at any other retailer.lego the hutt wrote:Not sure why it is stated this is a buck more. $4.99 is always the price of polybags at TRU.

I don't believe it's been specifically stated it's a TRU exclusive, but I wouldn't count on seeing it anywhere else because it more likely than not is exclusive.I'm guessing this ends up being a TRU exclusive like Frodo Cooking Corner?

The Uruk-hai polybag was supposedly available at Legoland Discovery centers here in the U.S., but I never heard anything more on it (confirmation, availability elsewhere, etc.). It also was available through the Sun newspaper in the UK, and super cheap at that (about a buck per polybag).Speaking of, i never did find the Urak-hai with ballista polybag in stores...I heard it was at Legoland stores and available in Europe...I broke down and bought mine from ebay.

Re: Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybag
Darn! They have now delisted it from the website. And Frodo no longer ships to home too.
I'm really stoked for this set, but I can't believe they only included one green plant piece. That little tree is screaming for a second piece.

SOB! Was going to get a couple but couldn't get the free shipping to work. I hate Tru!

Re: Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybag
They will most likely put them up again next week when they officially release the rest of the Hobbit sets I would assume.

Re: Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybag
I just stumbled upon this polybag set at my local TRU! There were only a few hidden between a bunch of 'Frodo cooking' and tore up 'Anikin's pod racer' poly bags. Unfortunately the store didn't have any of the other Hobbit sets out on display.
Don't forget to use your 20% coupon (valid until 21st) to get The Hobbit: Mirkwood Elf polybag for $3.99!!!
Quick tip: Look for the Elf on the right side of the bag when flipping through a large isle end display.

Re: Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybag
Hopefully this is reinstated soon, kinda a tease to pull it from the website after a day or 2...

Re: Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybag
Well, all the hobbit sets are on the TRU webpage but no polybags.
I was hoping the polybags had been removed from the site until the official release date of the 27th. No such luck. I wish I could search and see if my store has them. I guess I could call. The nearest store is an hour or so away.
If I type lego elf in the search box a picture the mirkwood elf polybag pops up next to my search but when I click on it it doesn't actually take you to it.

Re: Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybag
Went to TRU today and didn't see the Elf Guard polybag. They did have dozens of Gandalf polybag though. :/
Re: Mirkwood Elf Guard Polybag
Funny, its exactly the opposite for me at TRU, tonight I grabbed two Mirkwood Guards (since the second one was 50% off) out of about 35 or so they had on the wall. They had only one Gandalf poly, but decided to pass on him, as he is in so many other sets now.mgs wrote:Went to TRU today and didn't see the Elf Guard polybag.
