LEGO 8684 Collectable Minifigures Series 2 Availability

[chicagorando]

Nothing in the northern Chicagoland Toys R Us stores

My guess is it will start in the south, perhaps come into port in texas.
Slowly spread up to us in midwest.
Called 3 of my local TRU yesterday had none, but one of them told me to call friday when they get another truck.

Do you know if the series 2 collectable minifigures are available in the UK LEGO shop in Bluewater shopping center or if not the WHSmith there as i'm heading there on the 26th (for my birthday)

[grogall]

This is not the proper forum for this question, but to answer anyway
The Lego Brand stores will start selling series 2 on the 1st of September!

[superlegos]

That sucks, Thanks for your help though and yeah i now realise it's not.

I think all the prices will be the same as series 1. :)

Houston, TX - none at Willowbrook and Woodlands said that they will NEVER carry them again. Too easy to steal.

i can confirm that all 4 boxes had the same contents:

popstar - 3
pharaoh - 3
adventurer - 3
surfer - 3
skier - 3

vampire - 4
lifeguard - 4
witch - 4
mime - 4
mariachi - 4
weightlifter - 4

ringmaster - 5
karate master - 5
bike cop - 5

nope. i bought from BL. it was cheaper than TRU's $2.49 ea.

the cheapest BL was at $1.92 (not sure shipping cost) but that ship has sailed...i didn't catch that either.

So it does look like some are more rarer than the others. They should at least make only 3 or 4 each. No need of 5 when there are minifigures that only has 3.

Still nothing in the Charlotte area. Target had none, & TRU employees insisted I was talking about the chrome Trooper (which are all gone). My iPhone 4 comes in tomorrow at the AT&T store, which is conveniently located across the street from TRU. So I'll be checking once again.

Funny thing was, looking around for series two, and not finding them, ran into a Toy-R-us with series one that had not been picked over! Girlfriend got two zombies, I got one. We both scored a robot. One Cheerleader for her, and five for me.Yea!

the Walamrt at the south end of Barrie, Ontario had about 5 boxes of them today. I was in a hurry and didn't have the bar codes with me, but I grabbed one at random and got the Spartan. Going back tomorrow armed with bar codes to get me a complete set!

As of today, both BC locations in Burnaby and Vancouver did not have the collectable minifigures.

I called [email protected] again.
Still none there.
Said there wasn't a release date yet.
However i gingerly pressed her, and she said check in a couple of weeks, so sounds like sept 1 will be earliest to get from [email protected]
Hope they put limit on first, so they don't sell out before i can order some.

my local walmart in calgary had about two boxes, now they have about 1 1/2 boxes worth.
