Tinn-man Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 This set doesn't really interest me too much. Just thought i'd tell you it's available in the US. I'll probably just end up getting the thunder drill, or blowing all of my money on clone battle packs Quote
Brickmaster Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 I've been waiting for a review of 8961. Does noone want that set or something? It's the only one I'm considering getting, I just need more pictures to confirm. And no, sorry, I don't mean to complain, It's just I really want to see this set. Quote
SirNadroj Posted December 13, 2008 Posted December 13, 2008 I got my paws on some today. My local TRU had a massive stock of new 09' sets, including tons of SW, IJ, City and Power Miners. Quote
hollisbrick Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 I got my paws on some today. My local TRU had a massive stock of new 09' sets, including tons of SW, IJ, City and Power Miners. Cool! can you please do some reviews? Lucky...we are just getting the new impulses Quote
Skipper 24 Posted December 14, 2008 Posted December 14, 2008 He doesn't have the set, so don't bother him for a review... You people hear "new set" and "store" and expect a review. We all aren't made of money you know.... Sorry I misread his post I thought he meant he bought it too. I wish my local(ish) TRU had neat displays like that. Quote
mania3 Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Wanted to let everyone know that the Powerminers sets are out at TRU, at least here in San Diego. I went ahead and picked up two of the smaller ones to check them out. Quote
Kliq Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Sweet, thanks! I'll have to keep my eyes peeled around here. Quote
Hinckley Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Excellent! I think this would fit well in the Power Miners topic! Quote
Darth_Legois Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Lucky...we are just getting the new impulses Huh? What do you mean ? .... Looking at my '09 catalog it says Powerminers are going to be released in March....And not just the Impulses... Quote
hollisbrick Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 Huh? What do you mean ? .... Looking at my '09 catalog it says Powerminers are going to be released in March....And not just the Impulses... I meant that the americans get the new PW now and we just started to get the new impulses, we are always behind Quote
The Rancor Posted December 15, 2008 Posted December 15, 2008 I meant that the americans get the new PW now and we just started to get the new impulses, we are always behind America must have pretty much every 2009 January set available to buy except Medieval Market Village! Come, on! Why does the world revolve around the USA TLG? On a sidenote, I really love the look of those monsters up close and personal. I'll buy plenty of the small set for those. (When I can actually buy the sets) Quote
xenologer Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 Well, I can support the rumor that stuff is showing up at USA Target stores. I dropped by my nearest one in CA, and they did not have them on the shelf, however a nice employee was able to look them up and tell me that another Target nearby had them in stockroom but not on shelves. So this would seem to indicate that they are getting shipments, but aren't supposed to release them till some special release date... I might try and go to that other store and see if I can convince someone to go and find me one in the stockroom... tho that might just be a bother... Quote
Tacitus Posted December 16, 2008 Posted December 16, 2008 I was just at TRU today in Wisconsin, and they had all the sets. I think they had just filled the shelf before I arrived. I love the little rockmen and the new minifigure faces, but really dislike the big green vehicles. Quote
Erdbeereis Posted December 17, 2008 Posted December 17, 2008 I saw the Crystal Sweeper at my local Target today, and was going to buy it, but the price was an outrageous $70! Is this the standard price or are their prices totally out of whack... Quote
MagPiesRUs Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 (edited) Has this set been posted yet? It seems to be a limited edition set... I'm loving the flick-fire dynamite... Edited December 18, 2008 by TinyPiesRUs Quote
Erdbeereis Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Has this set been posted yet? It seems to be a limited edition set... I'm loving the flick-fire dynamite... Nope, that's new! A very nice small set in my opinion, it seems to have a very small amount of technic and I adore those flick-fire dynamite! Hopefully it will be a good price and easy to obtain. Thanks for posting it! Quote
hollisbrick Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 Has this set been posted yet? It seems to be a limited edition set...

Erdbeereis Posted December 18, 2008 Posted December 18, 2008 I bought 8961 Crystal Sweeper from Target, and a review in in the works. It's quite overpriced, but I couldn't resist! Quote
