I have all the battlepacks for Star Wars and I'd be willing to trade for Spartans and possibly the Stormtroopers. I replied to your post in the other forum as well.

What do you mean by "but I don't really think that it will be easy that three full collections will be available"? In Series I and II there have been three full sets plus extras in each and every box. Edit: Your stats are incorrect - the odds of finding a specific fig are not equal. IE, some are more rare than others.

Thank you, that is excellent news!

All four boxes I've seen have had three Spartans, all were in the right hand column, about midway. Two next to each other and the third a couple figs away. All four boxes were identically packed.

Thanks for the mystery hunt! It's been a lot of fun, but I'm still looking for the witch. It's the hardest by far for me, as I've spent hours searching for her and spent 10 minutes max on the next hardest one (the traffic cop). It's frustrating me to no end! I'm sure I just missed the little picture in one of the many threads I've searched...

I found two boxes at my local Target as well as the Target near my parent's house. Both of these are in MN. So, it seems most Targets are getting (an initial shipment of) two boxes - the only question is if they will get more than one shipment.

I see and hear this all the time and am not sure where or when this rumor started. In any case, it's totally untrue: http://shop.lego.com/product/?p=10185&LangId=2057&ShipTo=US

I think people are balking at buying all of these simply because of the price. For example, here are the lowest prices on Bricklink for one of each of the sealed road sets you're selling (these are the lowest prices for new, sealed packs of two, in US dollars): 6310 - $18.50 (times 19 = $351.50) 6311 - $14.00 (times 6 = $84.00) 6312 - $20.31 (times 14 = $284.34) 6313 - $19.00 (times 22 = $418.00) So, just based on the lowest prices on Bricklink, for new, sealed sets of two for each variety, you're looking at $1137.84. That's a lot of money for roads.

Mine arrived last night! My wife is making me wait to open it though. It almost looks like someone took a price tag off it...I wonder if they've been getting shipments from somewhere else. I really should crack it open, just to make sure all the pieces are there!

Looks like the UCS Imperial Shuttle will be $260. I thought it was supposed to be $240? http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Product.aspx?p=10212&cn=245&d=100

Those are pretty funny! Thanks.

I managed to snag it the third time around today (it's been available at least 3 times in the past 8 hours). I'd recommend just refreshing every so often ( http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002ACUC0O/sr=1-1/qid=1281972860/ref=olp_product_details?ie=UTF8&me=&qid=1281972860&sr=1-1&seller= ). $59.99

Looks like it's sold out again...missed it yet again.

You can now add it to your official "Wish List" (and purchase it as of September 29th)! http://shop.lego.com/Product/?p=10216&sku=e64c96ee-59f2-4c42-a583-b7897ed5766e

I'm not sure about official minifigure count, but the Grand Emporium had two 1/2 figures (bottom halves). And, as previously stated, most of the pirate ships had top halves.

Yes. The answer (of course) is 42. Douglas Adams anyone? Seriously, I doubt anyone (including those at LEGO) know.

I don't see the video, but my tan cheese slope estimate was pretty much right on the money!

Uh, yeah, ~600 tan cheese per set, if I'm anywhere close in my estimation. lol. That's nuts.

+1 to BoobyToy for quick shipping and for simply helping me out! Thanks.

These have not been released in the states yet (as we have pointed out quite a few times). You'll have to pay for shipping from Europe and thus the prices will be quite a bit higher.

Hah, Jamie and Adam cube dudes - so cool!

The US price is $29.99. It's available at S@H. http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Product.aspx?p=3222&cn=339&d=9 Edit: Public Transport Station is also pictured, but currently says it's unavailable in the US. I am sure that will change soon. http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Product.aspx?p=8404&cn=339&d=9

According to Grogall, production of Series 2 was completed in May, before Series 1 was even released. Thus even though Lego was surprised at the response to Series 1 and will attempt to distribute Series 2 more evenly, the total numbers are not expected to be considerably more than Series 1.

Series 1 has been sold out for 3-4 weeks in the US. You won't find them anywhere, unless you get lucky at a local toy store (not ToysRUs - I mean a small, local store that happened to order some).
