Polybags @walmart

Post by minifigW » Fri Oct 30, 2015 7:06 am

Going through my inventory scanner on the app earlier yesterday I noticed that there are multiple $3.94 items under availability unknown, most have weird names but the numbers correspond to actual lego polybags, I will upload a full list later today but from the top of my head I can remember:

lego elves campfire
SWTFA x-wing

The Elves campfire was a giveaway earlier in the year, but that X-Wing is most likely the new black micro version.

Has anyone seen these yet? I have been checking my local walmarts pretty regularly and have had no luck...

Still no show at Walmart, but I found the tie fighter and a different ninjago polybag today at Target. I think the tie fighter is free with a lego purchase of $25 or more.

These finally showed up at my local walmart. They were in the middle of an aisle by their Christmas stuff in a large cardboard dispaly. Unfortunately, there was either no x-wing or it had already sold out. Here is what they had:

2 different friends bags - (one was a smoothie stand, can't remember the other)
An elves bag
Tie Advanced
Ninjago Anacondi crusher
Spiderman Super Jumper
Joker Bumper car

Well, that sounds disappointing given that most of these have shown up elsewhere. (I'm guessing the Elves bag is Azari's Magic Fire, which was ironically a Wal-Mart giveaway last spring.) The only one I'd be after is the Spider-Man Super Jumper since the only other place I'm aware you could get it was at the Lego Store with a substantial purchase. (Rule of thumb--I'm learning to almost never go out of my way to get the freebie polybags at the Lego Store; 9/10 times, it'll end up at another retailer eventually.)

Hmmm.... There are a lot of promo polybags that have resurfaced in retail stores but I would say its much closer to 5/10 instead of 9 of 10 times. I really don't mind if they resurface in retail stores. I actually like it since it makes it easier to get them. If I on the other hand paid $20 or more for a poly and it appeared in a store for $4.99 I would be somewhat frustrated.
edit...
Sorry. I'm not trying to fight with you. With some of the recent re-surfacing of polybags (that we thought may be exclusive) it may seem like 9/10. I've acquired several over the years that held their value well and didn't re-appear in retail stores... Volkswagon mini camper 40079, Hotdog stand 40078, LEGO shop employee (that wasn't re-released was it?), Darth Revan, Balloon Stand, Winter Soldier, Martian Manhunter. There was of course others that I didn't get like Star Wars TC-14.

Now that I think about it (and try to remember them) I realize that time has really flown by and there hasn't been as many great ones as I thought there were. Thanks for allowing me to ramble :-D Best wishes.

Well, here's a rule: Target has polys four times a year: Valentine's, Easter, Halloween, and Christmas. (And that says nothing about the additional polys they get at the registers during the year.) OK, the exception was they didn't do Halloween this year, but they did do Christmas. So whenever we're able to discern what the polys are for a year, you can make a reasoned guess that Target will probably get 10-12 of them. TRU will probably get another chunk as well, though fewer than Target.

Gonna have to swing by mine and see if anything changed, last year they went on clearance immediately after the holidays, so it may be time to stock up!

So where did the xwing end up at? Did I read here that it might be at Target? Polys are a pain to find at my local walmarts so I am glad I have most of the ones listed.

Ah I guess I will be keeping my eyes open for it. These seem to be dropping very late.

Walmart by me had them by the toys. They had four different polybags. First time I've seen any polybags.

Most stores that still have these have them on clearance, prices ranging in my area from $2-$3 (WAS: $3.94, some still have it for this price however) not bad if you still need to pick one up (or a bunch :D)
