Posted April 13, 200816 yr Found this tonight at my local Jacksonville, Florida Wal-Mart. Please pardon the crappy cell-phone picture Let the treasure hunt begin, eh?
April 13, 200816 yr Oh wow! Does that mean other sets like the star wars lines and such may be appearing soon? I'm guessing you decided to give this set a miss? Great find!
April 13, 200816 yr Author I doubt this signals Star Wars soon. From what I understand, the new Indy sets are supposed to be around for the movie, so they are slotted for a May release. New Star Wars will probably still hit in July/August. But I think new Castle is supposed to be showing up in the US any day now. I passed for now. I'm going down to the LEGO store in a couple weeks and plan on getting it there where I can get rewards stamps
April 13, 200816 yr Amazing How could you not buy it!? What's the price? Edited April 13, 200816 yr by Flatfoot Thompsen
April 13, 200816 yr ohhh.... first Indy sets (motorbike chase and others) came out in May in Finland... do that mean than they came out same time ?
April 13, 200816 yr You'd better wait for the Presidential election; it appears all of the candidates are only too willing to open the border to [politicallyincorrect]illegal[/politicallyincorrect] immigrants! Can't wait for these to reach New York; I WILL buy them all! I MUST GET THE NEW HAIR!
April 13, 200816 yr The U.S. get all the best things! Yeah it's not fair, they have the sets earlier, they have more (or all of the?) exclusives and cheaper LEGO prices, sometimes even allmost 50% cheaper if you look at Euro to dollar exchange rates (and allmost cheaper prices at just about everything, like fuel etc.). And they still have the guts to complain! The unfair price-difference is one of the reasons I hardly buy new sets anymore. But is this set allready supposed to be in stores, or is it just an "error" made by the store? Edited April 13, 200816 yr by Fluyt
April 13, 200816 yr The U.S. get all the best things! What about Castle 08? LEGO could have released all the other themes a year later in North America for all I care, if they had just released Castle at the same time as in Europe. Edited April 13, 200816 yr by sir dano
April 13, 200816 yr Wow! I didn't expect these to be out for at least another 3 weeks! I'll have to check my local stores in the next few days! At least you guys in Europe and Australia have Castle already. I can't wait for those to be out in the US. Were the other new IJ sets there too or just this one?

April 13, 200816 yr Deinonychus, were any other new Indy sets on the shelfs, if so what were their prices, as I can probally convert the US price into the Canadian price, by comparing the price tag of other sets (both Canadian and US price tags) that have the same price tag as the new Indy sets have. Unfortantally I think I'll have to skip this set, and instead get the new exclusive airplane since to me the plane looks like a better set (and I'm a bit low for funds so I can't get both ).
April 13, 200816 yr What about Castle 08? LEGO could have released all the other themes a year later in North America for all I care, if they had just released Castle at the same time as in Europe. That is how us Europeans feel about nearly every theme! You also get the main Toy Fair!
April 13, 200816 yr What if we start a petition to get LEGO to release all themes at the same time globally?
April 13, 200816 yr Do you know how much trouble that would be? Someones gotta be able to get it before everyone else...

The Temple was the only one there. Anyof the others I'd have picked up to get that first review up. And it was $79.99 US. As for the USA getting stuff first, others have mentioned Castle 08. And I'll never forget those agonizing months where I wasn't even sure if the US would get Vikings and I was setting up deals with people in the UK to get me sets before it was revealed they'd be late-year TRU exclusives. Besides, getting sets later allows you to save up for them longer
April 13, 200816 yr Interesting that only the Temple was there... Hopefully the others will come out soon too. I wonder if someone put it there on accident.
April 13, 200816 yr What if we start a petition to get LEGO to release all themes at the same time globally? I might, if I knew how!!
April 13, 200816 yr Cool! I look forward to someone buying it and doing a review. I'm still undecided on this one. And at the best prices Time to move there asap Nah, they also have some of the worst chocolate.
April 13, 200816 yr Nah, they also have some of the worst chocolate. That's for sure... I should be able to get to Wal-Mart tomorrow and see if they have the new IJ sets. Edited April 14, 200816 yr by Erdbeereis1
April 14, 200816 yr Hey guys- just updated over at FBTB I picked up #7624 Jungle Duel tonight- saw all but the biggest of the sets- the temple prices where $9.98, $19.98 and $39.86 sorry for the cell phone pic like i said i got the Jungle duel- I just wanted to get the cheapest set since i picked up 5 more star wars figs tonight- I took some box shots tonight, I will try to upload them. I should find some time to build tomorrow and get a review up. what i think this is, is a direct violation of a hold date- I used to see hold dates all the time working at TRU, and if i had to guess, this indy stuff probably shouldn't be out untill next weekend or the one after that- heck might not be untill first week of may, since the movie is still a month out. I wish i could have grabbed the others, but we know how that goes. If you see them guys! grab them cus I think this was a mistake take care guys br()wnie
