Disturbia Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 For all the British here, I have something that'll excite you all The Imperial battle pack is also listed on page 3, but they're sold out. I'm gonna check my local Toys R Us after Christmas, seeing how late shopping has flooded the town. Quote
-JD- Posted December 18, 2009 Posted December 18, 2009 Thanks Disturbia! You have made my day! Now I can definitely use my gift cards on these, because judging by their early release they'll be out in January for sure! Quote
-JD- Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Just found the Landspeeder in my local (UK) TRU store. I didn't get it, because I figured I should use my gift cards on it in January. Quote

Forresto Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 I was just at my Target and it had the Freeco snd the Snowtrooper battle pack. There was a bunch of Ben 10 and one toy story set. Quote
-JD- Posted December 19, 2009 Posted December 19, 2009 Did they have the Freeco?If so, I need to make a dash to town, immediately. No. Just two Landspeeders. No other 2010 sets. But the guy I checked with did use that "What we have on the shelves is all we got" line. Quote
Rufus Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 I spotted the Tie Defender in Lego Bluewater (UK) today. There may have been more, but Mrs Rufus wouldn't let me look around in case it would compromise my Christmas present. Quote
Sirtank Posted December 20, 2009 Posted December 20, 2009 Scored luke's landspeeder for 24.97 at walmart in grand rapids michigan today. I was shocked to see it on the shelf. They had some other 2010 sets as well. Quote

Big Cam Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Are you guys still seeing the Endor set in stores?? I am planning on buying it after Christmas but it's backordered until Feb 17th in the US and not available in the UK, should I be worried about this taking an early retirement like the Hoth set did? Quote

No way Big Cam! This must be the best selling set lego has had for a long time! The UK demand has been huge! They just underestimated the amount that would be needed for this years christmas. The Ebay prices were so good that i sold 3 sets myself, that i had got for a 3 for 2 deal on in September. I never intended to sell them but hey i can wait till they are on a deal again next year.

Destroydacre Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 OK, I was getting a little worried. I'll just look for one as soon as I have the cash.Thanks I agree, you should be fine. Both Wal-Marts close to me still have them on the shelves. The Target close by is sold out at the moment though. Quote
Clone OPatra Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 Hello, I know this isn't news about new sets, but I was just looking on LEGO.com and I noticed that the price of last January's battlepacks have gone up to $10.99. I just thought this was very odd that LEGO has now bumped up the price on year-old sets. I guess they know that people who still want them will pay for it. Quote
howl.bricks Posted December 22, 2009 Posted December 22, 2009 (edited) @Clone O'Patra: Really? Do you know if this new price mark-up happened only on S@H or even in the stores? Because i havent got the chance to get them yet, since i moved to Malaysia in late 2007. Does anyone know when the 2010 sets will arrive in Malaysia/Singapore? Because in Malaysia, there isn't much demand but in Singapore the demand is good and the sets are a LOT cheaper than Malaysia(which is about 2x the originally converted price) So it's : Battlepack 10.99$ = supposed to be about RM39 here, but it's RM79.90 instead. I mean RM80 for a BP? Ridiculous, isn't it? Edited December 22, 2009 by howl.bricks Quote
Disturbia Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 No. Just two Landspeeders. No other 2010 sets. But the guy I checked with did use that "What we have on the shelves is all we got" line. I went to my Toys R Us last night and found a whole stack of Hoth battlepacks, so I took one of each. I've only opened the Imperial one, though. Quote
JCC1004 Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 Has anyone else seen/bought a Landspeeder in the US? I'm planing on getting one after X-Mas. Quote

Disturbia Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 (edited) Awsome! Which store was it? Ipswich, right next to Tesco. I forgot to mention earlier, there were no other 2010 sets there, not even the Landspeeder. Still, there's hope for Boxing Day that more will come. Edited December 23, 2009 by Disturbia Quote

Still, there's hope for Boxing Day more will come. Are you kidding me, that's my closest Toys 'r' Us! I'll be down there right away. Quote
pedro Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 All this UK set news is giving me hope that the Toys'r'Us near here will have some of the new releases too. I'll be sure to report on what I find! No. Just two Landspeeders. No other 2010 sets. But the guy I checked with did use that "What we have on the shelves is all we got" line. That old bean eh? I wish I knew a TRU shop assistant so I could get inside info. Quote
Destroydacre Posted December 23, 2009 Posted December 23, 2009 For anyone interested, I stopped by Fred Meyer today and they had both Hoth battlepacks, the Freeco Speeder and the Tri-fighter. The battle packs were $10.99 each and the Freeco and Fighter were $24.99 apiece. They also had the new Space Police, Toy Story and Atlantis sets, but no Arc, Landspeeder or Tie Defender. Quote
Zzz Posted December 26, 2009 Posted December 26, 2009 Toys R us Japan has the new 2010 in their online store, saw the BPs today at Ikebukuro for 2000Yen. Amazon has all the new sets, some for fair prices, cause they are 30 or something% off. Still, no sign of the Landspeeder. Must be exclusive or come out later. In the EU it belongs to the normal January line-up it seems, hence the older people buying it I assume. Quote
Disturbia Posted December 28, 2009 Posted December 28, 2009 All SW 2010 sets now available at UK and New Zealand S@H Quote
