RileyC Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 I see. Hopefully it's not an exclusive or anything, I had an issue happen once with the Separatist Spider Droid set, since the nearest TRU isn't too accessible, I missed out on the set. I found Luke's Landspeeder today so I have no idea when its going to be out now sorry Quote
Big Cam Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 At least your target got atlantis. Zellers here in Canada (equivlent of Target) has nothing . They must have just gotten them in becasue all my stores have been dry for weeks (literally) Quote
BlueDragonZ Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 They must have just gotten them in becasue all my stores have been dry for weeks (literally) Its all stores including toysrus, sears, walmart, zellers.. but my toysrus has loads of city and thats about it. And zellers has some returns of lego.. Quote
Dodger Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Its all stores including toysrus, sears, walmart, zellers.. but my toysrus has loads of city and thats about it. And zellers has some returns of lego.. I was in the local TRU about a week ago, and literally all the Star Wars were gone, except Home One and the Venator (and they had LOTS of these). They had a couple of Imp Hoth Battle packs too, but that was it. Quote
RocketClone Posted January 14, 2010 Posted January 14, 2010 Wow dry everywhere including where im at too, Is this the same case at the LEGO stores? Quote
BlueDragonZ Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Wow dry everywhere including where im at too, Is this the same case at the LEGO stores? Judging from legoshop availability, I don't think lego stores will be as their main thing is to sell lego. If their store is empty... then no one's gonna go there. But of course thats just my prediction and someone needs to verify this. Quote

Well today I was in the local TRU (Warrington UK), and they seem to have had a delivery. All the Toy Story sets were in, most of the Atlantis, and Star Wars related they had the Swamp Speeder, Arc-170, Rebel and Imp battle packs, Tie Defender, Luke's Landspeeder and the Droid Tri-Fighter. No sign of the Freeco Speeder though, which I really want. Have to say, that little 'Limited Edition' logo on the Swamp Speeder really ramps up the price. £40! Which makes it the same as the Defender. Not good. Quote

simonjedi Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Nice to hear the stores are finally getting 2010 sets. Hopefully forbidden planet will get an order soon (got a £10 gift voucher to spend there) Quote
BlueDragonZ Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 So it does look like the swamp speeder is a toysrus exclusive and luke landspeeder for walmart. Whats for target anyways? The mini star wars coming out?? Quote
RocketClone Posted January 15, 2010 Posted January 15, 2010 Just checked mt LEGO store today they have everything, except the new BPs. Quote
-JD- Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 The new sets were in my local TRU, excluding the Freeco and Landspeeder. Incase you're British and wondering where this TRU is, it's the one in Coventry. Quote
Disturbia Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 The new sets were in my local TRU, excluding the Freeco and Landspeeder. Incase you're British and wondering where this TRU is, it's the one in Coventry. Yeah, my TRU has new sets too, no freeco though maybe it's an Argos exclusive, who maybe releasing their new catalogue next week. The swamp speeder has bumped up to £40, shockingly. So many people are going to be disappointed that they get a speeder that is barely 15cm long for such a high price. I'm definitely going to wait for a sale on that set. I feel TRU are just exploiting the fans for another £10. Quote
Big Cam Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 With all this constant checking of stores and coming up empty, I think I might just place a huge order at Shop@home, and wait for them to come. Quote
sok117 Posted January 16, 2010 Posted January 16, 2010 With all this constant checking of stores and coming up empty, I think I might just place a huge order at Shop@home, and wait for them to come. I have this same problem here in canada, Its the fourth time I've gone for Star Wars sets at a toys r us and all I can find that is a single V-1 torrent Quote
BlueDragonZ Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 With all this constant checking of stores and coming up empty, I think I might just place a huge order at Shop@home, and wait for them to come. That would be very pricey considering theres shipping too. Perhaps going to a Lego store would be best as you can save on the ship $. Quote
RocketClone Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 I have this same problem here in canada, Its the fourth time I've gone for Star Wars sets at a toys r us and all I can find that is a single V-1 torrent You'd think that those Torrents would not be there anymore, because their discontuned. Quote
BlueDragonZ Posted January 17, 2010 Posted January 17, 2010 You'd think that those Torrents would not be there anymore, because their discontuned. Ya those torrents are now discontinued and are clearanced out in most stores except toysrus in canada. Quote
itsme28 Posted January 19, 2010 Posted January 19, 2010 (edited) Hello, I'm new to the forum! I notice that in the UK a few sets are getting harder to find. Luckily I found a Magnaguard set in Toys R Us a few weeks ago the last one, now it seems that is gone for good! My question is are the Endor and Tie Advanced sets being discontinued soon? I really want them and don't want to miss out! Also anyone spotted the AT-AP in the UK recently? Edited January 19, 2010 by itsme28 Quote

I really want them and don't want to miss out! Also anyone spotted the AT-AP in the UK recently? Hi itsme28. Welcome ! Most of those sets are now discontinued. Most Star Wars sets tends to have a shorter life span (around 1 year) with those numerous clone wars sets. The Tie Advance and AT-AP has already been discontinued a while ago. The battle of endor is still available at shop at home for GBP 74.99 http://shop.lego.com/ByTheme/Product.aspx?...n=240&d=322 Most likely, it won't get discontinued yet. They will discontinue the january 2009 ones first like the AAT, Republic shuttle, etc. Hope this helps. Quote
Big Cam Posted January 20, 2010 Posted January 20, 2010 The endor set is available in the US too, just on backorder Quote
Delta 38 Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 (edited) I found Luke's Landspeeder today so I have no idea when its going to be out now sorry Actually, where did you find it? Edit: never mind. Question answered. =) Edited February 1, 2010 by Delta 38 Quote
pedro Posted January 26, 2010 Posted January 26, 2010 Also anyone spotted the AT-AP in the UK recently? Aye, I was in Toys R Us at Ventura Park, Tamworth the other day - they still had loads. Quote
Seijitai Posted January 27, 2010 Posted January 27, 2010 Most likely, it won't get discontinued yet. They will discontinue the january 2009 ones first like the AAT, Republic shuttle, etc. Hope this helps. I don't know if the following can be considered as official... But I bought two weeks ago their last AAT set from my local "Dreamland" (one of the biggest toys resellers over here in Belgium, ) and the seller told me it was the last one they had in stocks, and that it was discontinued...

Thats exactly what i said . I said they will discontinue the first wave of 2009 sets first before the battle of endor. So your right with the AAT being discontinued considering we're getting lots of new 2010 lego. UCS tends to have a longer life span. Of course, there are expections like the republic gunship, at te and count dooku solar sailer. Count dooku solar sailer will last until mid-end of this year. So i'll wait for a decent sale before getting that one. Quote
