Canadian Eh?

So who here is planning to go to the Vancouver LEGO Store grand opening less than a week away? I'm hoping I will make it to all 3 days and get the gifts. Unfortunately, I have to go to school on Friday and won't be able to make it to the store but I'm crossing my fingers that my mom would line up for me. Here is the recap if you missed it:

May 4 (Friday): T-shirt

May 5 (Saturday): Mini LEGO Store Set

May 6 (Sunday): Minifigure Set

Found 2 Fresh boxes of Series 7 on the shelf today at Airdrie Wal*Mart Supercentre.

How much do we have to spend for those?

The Toronto Mt. Pleasant Mastermind Toys had a couple full boxes of Series 7 in stock...got my fill, with an amused staff watching me grope my way to glory!

Saw 5+ boxes of Series 7 at the WalMart in Square One mall.

Has anyone been to either Lego Stores in Toronto? Last time I was in Sherway,(March), They did not have the Dump Truck 4434, Ambulance 4431 & Dirt Bike Transporter 4432. Just wondering if they have them re-stocked so I can take advantage of some VIP points.

Thanks!

Fairview Mall Store has series seven, R2D2, new buildable Marvel sets and nice PaB parts.

Fairview had all three today.

Maybe I'm nervous for no good reason, but my former source for Minifigres, the Eaton Centre Indigo, has me concerned... They apparently just put out four cases of Series 6 that show little evidence of anyone having gone through. I hope this doesn't lessen the amount of Series 7 they get. If it only delays it, that's fine, but I always fear over-ordering of certain waves and a resultant under-ordering of subsequent waves.

I'm planning to go to the Vancouver grand opening Saturday in the hopes of picking up the "free" set. How early of you think I should get there? I was planning on being there at least a few hrs early...

Taking the Skytrain from Richmond to Oakridge. The mall opens at 9:30 on Friday and Saturday while it opens at 11:00 on Sunday. So I'm hoping to arrive at 8:45 and 10:00? Can't make it out on Friday since I have school.

I don't think I can make it to the opening

Have a few important things that I must attend to this week and the earliest I can get there is 9:40 (damn ferries)

I guess ordering at S@H for the Starwars promotions will have to make up for it

I don't think the promo items will be gone THAT quickly. I've read that at the Nashville store, the mini store set lasted until 3:30pm. So you still have hope!

...and nice PaB parts.

You wouldn't by any chance know if the parts differ from the inventory listed HERE do you?

I updated the inventory 2 weeks ago when I was there...but nobody has updated it since. I updated the Sherway one a few days ago to make up for it.

Would you have any updates? Please...pretty please...with sugar on top? :sweet:

I know, and VIP points are attractive, but I feel less like a slimeball feeling up packs at Chapters vs the LEGO store, when the latter is always way busier and the figures are on a lower, harder-to-get-to shelf. Plus I have a giftcard for Chapters.

Man, I'm full of excuses.

Last time I was at sherwood the staff did this for me. I was looking for Roman figures.

Fairview seems to change out some parts every few days, so yes, it does differ. Off the top of my head I remember blue 1x8 tiles, dark tan 2x2 tiles, blue 1x4 plate, trans dark blue 1x1 rounds and trans orange cheese as being the interesting parts. I know they had other nice parts too, but I can't remember any specifics.

Aaah, to be close for a daily visit. :(

Thanks...those dark tan 2x2's are a good one!

do you (or anyone else) know how many they had? or may have (Of the promotional sets)

[Legobrandon]

I believe 500 of each item.

That's what I had figured, thanks for the info

[IAmWillGibson]

As I said before, anyone who gets a Store Promo and/or Minifigure set they don't want [which I'm assuming will be new in some way?], I have one from the Fairview Mall opening I'd be happy to trade.

Just, you know... puttin' it out there.

[prateek]

For May the 4th do we get the MINI TIE with any SW purchase too? Nothing comes up on S@H.

I know asking this is probably pointless, but has anyone seen or heard anything about the LOTR sets anywhere in Canada? I know they are all over the US, but have they possibly shown up north of the border?

Try calling around, if they say they don't have them, at least ask when they expect them!
