Toys "R" Us is one of them, if they get them. I have heard that Series 2 will be a wider distribution though. Someone can correct me if I am wrong.

I went to the Lego store yesterday. Employee said that they will have them in September. No info if they have any limits.

if you want some go buy from BL now. there's a german store selling for close to $2 now. if you're buying a box, including shipping will be around $2.40 ea. this is much cheaper than EE or TRU or Borders. don't put your hopes too high that you can score at walmart or target or lego stores. share the entire box with friends or something.

I'm pretty sure I can get the series from Lego this time around. I'm more educated now :D . There are 4 Lego shops within a 20 mile radius. One of them is on the way home including TRU. I just hope that TRU does not jack up the price to $2.99. If they come on the first day, maybe I can score a box but not likely. I can always dream.

sigh 4 lego stores within 20 minutes.. Why does the Lego company build these stores so unevenly

2 in NYC, 1 in NY and 1 in NJ. 1 hour to get to NYC even if it's 20 miles away. Darn traffic. I don't really go to the two in NYC since I can find everything in NY and NJ. Plus the bridge tolls are a ripoff.

One more thing, we just don't get crazy deals like the rest of the country either. Lego only offer a 10% discount on busted boxes.

If you have the Android phone, the minifig collector app has been updated. The update feature didn't work for me. I had to uninstall it first and reinstall it. Work great now. I'm ready to go shopping. :twisted:

At least you guys have lego stores. The only 1 in Canada is half a country away from me.

My closest lego store is roughly 600 miles from here..

I went to my local walmart in Vancouver (B.C.)this morning and Thurday, and I couldn't find them on the shelf.

I have a general question.

How many mini-figs do you buy?
I do appreciate the fact that Legoshop.ca has a cap of 5 per purchase.
But when you see people pricing them on the gray market at 5x their retail value, do you think that is ethical?
At the same time, you see pictures of massive stocks of these mini-figs (aka 15 of each mini-figs).

Do you think this is fair?

I'm saying this from the small guy's perspective.

NYC TRU has none. Not even in the system.

I buy one box and leave one set sealed.

[TClone]

Anyone willing to sell me a full set of Series 2?

[slacker]

wow, doesn't anyone think that this series is pretty hard to get? I mean people are buying a boat load of them this time around.

Honestly I would buy until I get a complete set. These are such a good deal. I have no idea how LEGO is so stupidly not producing more of these as they could sell more of these than anything they have EVER made. It looks like they're going the polybag route on this one though...Low availability with highly desirable pieces and figures. It pisses me off. I don't think it's fair that they produce so few of these despite the fact that absolutely everybody seems to be clamoring for them.

I agree, they screwed up.

Hopefully they actually made a lot more, and when are officially released well see more of them.
If nothing else, series 3 better be 10 times the # made.

I can't get excited for series 3 yet if the nervousness and heartbreak is all I have to look forward to with botched handling and shipping. I coughed up the money for a complete set of series 1 minifigures, priced at about 3.70 each rather than buying the other 9 I was missing from the first series because they all ended up being about $5 each. I'm a little upset that I couldn't just buy them from a store that I visit regularly and be super excited to see which figures I got! This feels more like work than it does fun when, instead of ripping open a bag in excitement, you have have to tediously search all over the internet for the best 'deal,' when it's not much of a deal at all.

The no barcode thing will add to the excitement in my opinion.
AS long as they produce enough so they can be found by normal people.
