Ricecracker Posted September 1, 2011 Posted September 1, 2011 Where in Indigo are they? They're usually in the Toys/Kids section, either near the cash or in a box near the other LEGO. EDIT: The LEGO store at Sherway is already sold out of Series 5 minifigs. Quote
Toadtorrent Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) Where in Indigo are they? I was at the Dufferin Walmart and they were sold out of Series 5. The lady working the toy section laughed when she saw me as she recognized me spending some time picking out my Series 4 packs. The wife rolled her eyes and laughed. Apparently they have had them for about a half a week, but just sold out. Off I go to the Indigo at Yonge-Eg based on their email news update of having Series 5 in the stores where they had a single fairly full box placed BEHIND the tellers upstairs near the toy section. SO...I went to TRU at Yonge-Eg, and they had 1 very picked over box on the desk in the electronic games area, and broken up loose packs scattered in the impulsive buy racks at the tills, with an additional heavily picked over box at the Customer Service/Checkout counter. I spent a few minutes and got 14/16...couldn't find any snowboarders or lumberjacks...but I really don't think I'm going to be missing those. I was hoping for a few graduates, but could only find 1. The feel test went pretty fast. This series has some really good custom/unique parts to identify the figurines: Gladiator - flat bladed sword was easier than the helmet Graduate - hat feels like a tile with small bowl plus the square tile Snowboard - the board is super easy to find Gangster - Hat Cave - club and bone Dragon Dude - tail piece Jane Goodall - Banana Eskimo - fishing rod with string Boxer - hat and gloved "hands" attached to body Clown - hat and pie Lumberjack - baseball hat and axe Dwarf - helmet with wings Aerobics Instructor - boombox Cleopatra - slope body...as easy to spot as the snowboard British Guard - lumpy hat Sherlock - magnifying glass Edited September 2, 2011 by Toadtorrent Quote
Ogre Posted September 2, 2011 Posted September 2, 2011 (edited) I don't remember hearing anything official before now... Fairview's website lists that the store will be opening in October. Hope to see some of you guys there. I will most definitely be there! Oh...in addition...Mastermind Toys now has series 5 in stock with FREE SHIPPING to all Canadian addresses until Sept. 6, with NO MINIMUM PURCHASE REQUIRED. That's right...free shipping on ALL orders.

tedbeard Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 TRU @ Mayfair Mall in Victoria has CM Series 5 (or did two days ago when I picked some up). They also had a couple of reasonably full S4 boxes as well. Quote

prateek Posted September 3, 2011 Posted September 3, 2011 Great. Shall we camp out? I'm down if the opening is on a weekend Quote
dr_spock Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I'm down if the opening is on a weekend I think opening day is on a Friday and the special minifig set is on Saturday. Quote
Ogre Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I think opening day is on a Friday and the special minifig set is on Saturday. That would make sense, since that's how it was done for Sherway. Oh...and I hear that they're still hiring...specifically looking for folks who are available M-F days. At least, that's the rumour, anyway. Friend of mine said she saw something posted on the construction wall where the store will be opening. I haven't been down in that area myself, so I can't confirm or deny but, I thought I'd pass on the info. Quote
Si-MOCs Posted September 4, 2011 Posted September 4, 2011 I think opening day is on a Friday and the special minifig set is on Saturday. The 'grand opening' I believe is always a weekend - Fri-Sat-Sun. With freebies every day. If we're all going to camp out we should all wear something recognizable so we figure out who's who Quote

I haven't been down in that area myself, so I can't confirm or deny but, I thought I'd pass on the info. Last I heard, there are eight or so positions still available. The sign on the storefront doesn't have much information either - it basically says to go to jobs.lego.com, where the only position available is Assistant Manager. The Fairview store is now listed on stores.lego.com. Grand opening isn't until the end of October. Quote
dr_spock Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 If we're all going to camp out we should all wear something recognizable so we figure out who's who I have a box of "Hello, my name is" stick-on labels and a Sharpie marker. Which day and time should we all meet up there? Quote
Ogre Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 I have a box of "Hello, my name is" stick-on labels and a Sharpie marker. I was actually going to wear one of those to Brickfete but, completely forgot in my rush to get out the door! Quote
ManitobaMoe Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 Most walmarts in winnipeg had s5. Think only 1 of the 5 i visited didnt have them. Nothing at TRU though Quote
Ogre Posted September 5, 2011 Posted September 5, 2011 (edited) Looks like the opening of Fairview will be the weekend of the 21-23 of Oct...at least according to the info for the 'big build' listed on the October store calendar (posted on Flickr) Looks like this one will be Yoda. *edit* Also: Today is the last day for free shipping from Sears.ca! $50 off $200 orders Edited September 5, 2011 by Ogre Quote
Toadtorrent Posted September 6, 2011 Posted September 6, 2011 Yonge-Eg TRU is completely out of Series 5 but the Indigo has 2 pretty full boxes of them BEHIND the counter. Quote
Ogre Posted September 8, 2011 Posted September 8, 2011 Reminder: LEGO Star Wars "The Padawan Menace" on Teletoon, Friday, September 9 @ 6:30pm Check your local listings. Quote
Legobrandon Posted September 13, 2011 Posted September 13, 2011 If a LEGO store opens up here in Vancouver, which I think will happen soon, about how long are the line ups and what time should I be at the mall and in the line (if there is one)? I need to prepare myself. Its kinda weird how LEGO decided to open up a store in Calgary first. Quote

I need to prepare myself. Its kinda weird how LEGO decided to open up a store in Calgary first. I wouldn't count on one opening up this year. There's no definitive way of knowing how long the line will be, and I really don't think you need to prepare at all - especially not months in advance. Quote
sok117 Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 Could someone provide a link to the Pick-a-brick wall at sherway? I've seen it here before but I would like to see an updated version. Thanks in advanced! Quote
Ogre Posted September 18, 2011 Posted September 18, 2011 "The Padawan Menace" DVD is available exclusively at Walmart. Price is something like $12.83, or something like that. Limited quantities. Includes minifig. Quote
Peshkavus Posted September 19, 2011 Posted September 19, 2011 Could someone provide a link to the Pick-a-brick wall at sherway? I've seen it here before but I would like to see an updated version. Thanks in advanced! It hasn't been updated in a month. Brickbuildr site The Fairview store is on my home from work, maybe if it's not too awkward I can keep that one up to date. That's going to be dangerous for my wallet. Quote

Ogre Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 Fairview Mall LEGO store 'soft' opening: Thursday, September 29/11. Quote
Ricecracker Posted September 23, 2011 Posted September 23, 2011 I've heard that the PaB wall at Fairview is larger than Sherway's, and it's a fairly basic selection right now. Quote
