AmperZand Posted December 21, 2014 Posted December 21, 2014 Is it only me who hasn't seen CMFs in any of the big stores recently? Is there a shortage? JL told me they wouldn't be selling S13 CMFs until the official street date of 1 Jan at the earliest, and maybe not until a week or more into Jan. I haven't seen S13 CMFs anywhere. WHS don't seem to have them yet. I don't think The Entertainer will be carrying them at all because of the inclusion of the evil wizard. Come to think of it, they probably won't carry them because of the paleontologist either. As for S12s, I'm still seeing them all over: Martin's Newsagents, Sainsbury's etc.
Robianco Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 There are several places around Liverpool I've still seen Simpsons and Series 11 figures... can't say I've seen series 13 anywhere yet though.
Tariq j Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 I've seen quite a few Series 12 minifigures in supermarkets like Tesco, Asda etc.
Sir Brickalot Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 My Tesco near me doesn't sell minifigures anymore.
emem15 Posted December 22, 2014 Posted December 22, 2014 toy's r us in Woking (Surrey) has the green minifigures series 13... display stand. Full of - you guessed it - series 12 minifigs ;)
Sam892 Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 (edited) I just got back from my nearest Toys R us and I have some wonderful news. First off I found some series 13 minifigures on the shelves which is pretty good. The big news is I found a Box with about 100 ROCKET RACCOON Polybags in. My store didn't have and promo signs up and no price tags for them but when I got to the till they priced up at £4.97 each. I was quite suprised to see them really since there has been no mention of them appearing in the UK. Still it's a great stocking filler if you guys are still looking for some. Edit: Just thought I'd add that I found these at the Northampton store. Edited December 23, 2014 by Sam892
TheOneVeyronian Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Technically not a sale, but TRU (Hayes/Southall branch) had most of the 2015 Chima and City (Construction and Swamp Police) sets on the shelf today if anybody around the area is looking for them. Only place in the whole area I'm aware of that's selling them Unfortunately I forgot to take note of whether or not they were selling S13 CMF's.

They were also on sale at the TRU shop set up in Brick 2014 in London last month, but great find nonetheless as I've never heard of them appearing for sale in the UK outside that exhibition until now
Tariq j Posted December 23, 2014 Posted December 23, 2014 Good to see the new series of minifigures are starting to appear on shelves. As its Christmas Eve tomorrow some shops may close early but I'm going to try and see if Fenwicks have them.
rriggs Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Just got back from ToysRUs in Stevenage and they have the full range of new City, Chima and Friends sets. They were amongst the regular stock but also there was a LEGO 2015 display near the entrance. They also had loads of Simpsons and S12 minifigs. Cheers Rog

Thanks for the heads up. Checked mine today, gutted that there was no sign of them :( . Oh well, hopefully better luck next time.
AmperZand Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 WHS in Kingston had three boxes of S13 as of this afternoon. I managed to pick up 6 minifigures: hotdog guy alien king female cyclops evil wizard goblin I would have liked to have picked up a samurai but got tired of feeling packets and don't particularly like WHS. I'll be buying a sealed box of 60 from John Lewis in the new year anyway, so will get her then. I'll be keeping most of the 60 and selling the rest. If you're in the UK and interested in any S13s at cost (+P&P at cost), please PM me your wants list. Some are already reserved (including by fellow EBers), so please be quick.

Godtshep Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 Toys 'R' Us Cambridge have a few new City sets.
TheOneVeyronian Posted December 24, 2014 Posted December 24, 2014 What about the dc bunnies? Nope, no DC sets were found there unfortunately. But a friend told me that it's not long to wait for them now, they'll be out in a LEGO store on New Years Day I should just add that Chima and City were all I could find in my TRU so far, though I forgot to take a note of Creator, and I completely forgot about the more girl-oriented themes (as my TRU puts them in a completely different area to the other LEGO), so those could potentially be there too.
Krikkit Posted December 26, 2014 Posted December 26, 2014 Both bedford and mk have the city freinds and chima sets, they also have season 13 but no superheroes :(
chinadave Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Tesco have the following items on sale in store. All 50% off I believe. Lego Minecraft 21117 £30 Lego Movie 70714 £25 Lego Star Wars 75052 £32 Lego Movie 70807 £15 Lego City Arctic 60036 £34 Turtles Shell Raiser £15 Teenage Mutan Nunja Turtles 4 figure pack £20 Tranformers Stomp N Chomp Grimlock £42 If anyone is in Glasgow the Silverburn store had two in stock of 75052, 70807, 70714 and 21117. They were split between the regular Lego section and the sale aisle.
The Real Walkers Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Has anyone seen any LEGO Hobbit sets on sale?
Robianco Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 Not this time round... I picked up the whole of the last war at half price. On another note... Just been to JohnLewis in Liverpool and they have Series 13 figures in. The Entertainer actually had 2 boxes of Simpsons still in!
rriggs Posted December 27, 2014 Posted December 27, 2014 LEGO City Airport Fire Engine is half price now in TRU. Down from £24.99 to £12.99. They're going quick though. I got the last one in Stevenage yesterday. Cheers Rog
The Real Walkers Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 When do you reckon it'd be best to get the LEGO Xmen set? I it possible it'll go down in price during the Easter sales?
into the blue Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Just a quick heads-up regarding the new CMF series, the Cardiff Lego Store has been selling them since Boxing Day.
Sir Brickalot Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 ^ Was there anything else (2015) there?
into the blue Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 ^ Was there anything else (2015) there? No, just series 13. They weren't even really supposed to be selling those but their stock is so low at the moment they had to do something to entice the punters in (I was told this by the staff). I only popped in as I was passing. Going up next week for the UCS Slave 1.
Tariq j Posted December 28, 2014 Posted December 28, 2014 Went to the Bluewater Lego store today. Sadly, no 2015 sets but the Series 13 minifigures are out.
