ultiminutes Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 This be crazy. The catalogue had them pegged to be released in September 2016. However, it can't be that coincidental that we suddenly get an influx of pics from various outlets at the same date (thank you CM4Sci) without some underlying reason. Perhaps July 15 is the street date (or Aug 2016) Quote
CM4Sci Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) Austin TX LEGO Store has had them since yesterday. So has the NorthPark Center LEGO Store... You might wanna get there very very quick. Edited July 16, 2016 by CM4Sci Quote
K_Tiger Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Too far for me to drive to. Guess I'm gonna have to wait for the ordinary places to put 'em out. Quote
Brickscape Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 I was surprised to find S16 in a Toys R Us today (Milwaukee, WI area). They only had about a dozen left on the pegs. Quote
BrickJagger Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 Can't believe these are out already. Lego's been screwing up a lot today, eh? I'll have to go down to my local TRU tomorrow to see if they're there. Thanks for the heads up, Sci! Quote
Robert8 Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 According to someone who got a box, there are 3 full series per box again Quote
CM4Sci Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 After calling a few LEGO Stores, the reason for the early release is this - They want the Disney series to come back in September so it can be sold alongside the Disney castle, so they pushed Series 16 up. Quote

Great job .. thanks a lot. Hope the European stores will do the same! Quote
ultiminutes Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) According to someone who got a box, there are 3 full series per box again The immediate follow up question to that will be: Any idea what's the distribution like for the Banana Suit and the Penguin Suit? ;) Edited July 16, 2016 by ultiminutes Quote
Robert8 Posted July 16, 2016 Posted July 16, 2016 (edited) The heck? Why didn't they just switch the release dates? Series 16 on May and Disney Series on September Sounds like poor planning to me I hope this mess won't affect the Series 16 sales Edited July 16, 2016 by Robert8 Quote

YASSSS! BRING 'EM ON! Quote
Zergos Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Hopefully the street date is for canada too. Wanna get these asap :D Quote
CM4Sci Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 A vast majority of Texas LEGO Stores have them. They've had them since Friday so they're supposed to be out. Surprise..! Quote
sunhuntin Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) This was beyond unexpected!! Hoping New Zealand will be the same... will be checking a store tomorrow afternoon. Edited July 17, 2016 by sunhuntin Quote
BrickFit26 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 OMG these looks amazing. The Frost/Snow/Ice Queen or whatever her real name is, is still my favorite one. The heck? Why didn't they just switch the release dates? Series 16 on May and Disney Series on September Sounds like poor planning to me That's exactly what it sounds like to me. Still glad to see them out early. Quote
obsidianheart Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 So, what does the spy look like under the goggles? Quote
BrickFit26 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 And a picture of what the Spy has attached to its neck in the back. Quote
Robert8 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 (edited) These are hitting ebay now Double faces (so far) Hiker Wildlife Photographer Kickboxer Girl Edited July 17, 2016 by Robert8 Quote
SirBlake Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 I can't wait for the Whitefang review. eBay photos stink and WF reviews are always so detailed. Quote
SAnthonyK Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Called two local TRUs and my LEGO Store.. no dice. LEGO Store gets a shipment Monday, puts it out Tuesday.. guess Ill be making a call Tuesday morning. Quote
Coopa182 Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 This was beyond unexpected!! Hoping New Zealand will be the same... will be checking a store tomorrow afternoon. Awesome, let me know if you see or hear of these being anywhere in NZ :) Quote
Itaria No Shintaku Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 Can anybody hint about the minifig distribution? Which are 5 per box, which are 4, which are 3? Quote
K_Tiger Posted July 17, 2016 Posted July 17, 2016 After calling a few LEGO Stores, the reason for the early release is this - They want the Disney series to come back in September so it can be sold alongside the Disney castle, so they pushed Series 16 up. So that's why there has been no replenishment on the Disney wave, they're holding it for September? Quote
