Robianco Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 I popped in to the nearest two Asda stores last night to me in Liverpool and no sign of them... then again Asda's toy stock in both these stores is pretty poor. Quote
Brickr Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) The sets are now reduced in the same store! Microfighter £8 and battle pack £10.97! You beat me to it! here's the proof. https://www.flickr.c...eposted-public/ Edited December 11, 2015 by Brickr Quote
Brickr Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Can anyone else confirm - do ASDA have these in store? There's not a mention of them being for sale/in stock anywhere online......... Yes, I can confirm Chelmsley Wood ASDA have both TFA battle packs and both TFA micro fighters in stock, AND on sale! *Make sure you have a good look around in the store, the new sets weren't in the toys aisle with other sets, they were on an end of an aisle nearby, I even asked an employee who said they didn't have them, luckily I noticed them as I was walking out!* Edited December 11, 2015 by Brickr Quote
Robianco Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Well if Asda are definitely receiving their stock then I might need to have another little look around tonight. Do we know if they've definitely appeared in more than one store?.. or at least have appeared in different parts of the country? Quote
Robianco Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Please can I remind everyone that this thread is for 2016 Pictures and Rumours only, thanks If you want to talk about the availability of the new sets, there's already a dedicated thread (here). I'll move some of the recent posts across to it shortly. Apologies... you ninja'd me with that comment. Quote
NNOPMOC Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 (edited) Images of two Microfighter and two Battlepacks (from an ASDA in Bedfordshire - in a town mentioned in a Monty Python sketch). I can hear you salivating. . . Edited December 11, 2015 by NNOPMOC Quote
Lobot Posted December 11, 2015 Posted December 11, 2015 Apologies... you ninja'd me with that comment. No need to apologise Right, I think that I've updated all of the threads. And, back to more interesting topics; if anyone finds a 75137 Carbon Freezing Chamber in the UK I'd be very interested! It's one of the very few sets that I've seen in the last couple of years that I genuinely can't wait to build! Quote

It's one of the very few sets that I've seen in the last couple of years that I genuinely can't wait to build! I can think of three more Asda Superstores near to my parent's place that I'll try at some point tomorrow if I head over there... After that I'll just wait until January. I'll certainly let you know if 75137 is among anything I might find. Quote

It's one of the very few sets that I've seen in the last couple of years that I genuinely can't wait to build! Today I visited my local Smyths and TRU... they both had the two new microfighters and both battle packs but no signs of TBOT or any other from the new wave, guess it'll be after the 18th at the earliest.On the bright side, that gives me a few more days to enjoy the four new sets (that I still haven't had time to open!).

MartinCliffe Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Got a couple of FO Snowspeeder microfighters (£9), a couple of FO battle packs and one Resistance battlepack (£12) in The Entertainer (think that was the name) in the Arndale Centre in Manchester. No sign of anything in the Lego store though. Quote
Brickr Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Any news in the UK for the remaining winter wave sets? I see they're starting to emerge in other parts of Europe. Quote
AFOLguy1970 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 In the US, Lego has not posted even a coming soon for the Droid Escape Pod, Carbonite Chamber, or the Hoth set. Brickset has them in their database but did not indicate prices. Does anyone know what the prices will be on those? I would like to set a little bit aside and maybe pick up one or two at the new year. Quote
Brickr Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 (edited) Uk Shop@home has them at £19.99 each, so if your'e lucky it'll be $19.99, but $24.99 at the most I'd imagine. Edited December 17, 2015 by Brickr Quote
Richpepperell Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 If you're in the Exeter area, both ToysRUs and Sainsburys Pinhoe have TFA microfighters and battlepacks. No additional sets at the moment though. Quote
General Hux Posted December 18, 2015 Posted December 18, 2015 Popped into Jenners, Edinburgh, Scotland which is now part of the Houser of Fraser chain last night and they were selling The Force Awakens battle packs and new Microfighters. No sign of the larger winter wave sets as yet. Quote
MartinCliffe Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Looks like they're holding off the new sets until Boxing Day in the UK. Makes sense. I'll have to pick them up on the 27th / 28th before I head back home to HK (where they'll be more expensive and probably won't appear until mid-January). Quote
CyborgSuperman Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Anyone in the US been able to find any of the sets so far? I've checked most of the Barnes and Noble, Toys R Us, Lego and Target/Walmarts in the area with no luck (minus some Nexo Knight finds). Quote
ISDAvenger Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Anyone in the US been able to find any of the sets so far? I've checked most of the Barnes and Noble, Toys R Us, Lego and Target/Walmarts in the area with no luck (minus some Nexo Knight finds). One member found the battle packs in CO, but have not heard anything else. I have a feeling it won't be until the after the new year. Quote
patrick40 Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 In the Netherlands they are popping up everywhere. Quote
Junior Shark Posted December 19, 2015 Posted December 19, 2015 Anyone in the US been able to find any of the sets so far? I've checked most of the Barnes and Noble, Toys R Us, Lego and Target/Walmarts in the area with no luck (minus some Nexo Knight finds). Yeah, I found the battle packs in Target and Walmart. Colorado Springs, Colorado. I didn't think to check Barnes & Noble, I'll try that today. Quote
Vectormatic Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 In the Netherlands they are popping up everywhere. Just the BPs and €35 sets though, havent seen a MF or bigger set yet Quote
belkor Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Lego Shop UK has the Battle on Takodana set listed as coming on the 1st of January, priced @ £49.99. There's no way that set is worth fifty quid. Hoth Attack seems like a bargain at £19.99 http://shop.lego.com/en-GB/Battle-on-Takodana-75139 Quote
Calanon Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Amazon UK has the two TFA battlepacks and some of the new microfighters. Quote

Hoth Attack seems like a bargain at £19.99 http://shop.lego.com...-Takodana-75139 €70 in NL, absolutely insane for 409 bricks, i guess the €110 600 brick sith infiltrator really was the new standard Quote
legosamsonite Posted December 22, 2015 Posted December 22, 2015 Found the TFA battle packs in Nova Scotia Canada Quote
