Minifg collectors series 2 pics and barcodes

[escortmad79]

Mine is saying 20/8/10. So before the month is out!

Sounds about right then, picked up one of the new catalogues today & they have a date of 1st September. Series 1 was a week or 2 early so Series 2 looks to be doing the same.

Can't wait!

Any news on the North American barcodes?

[Djole]

Anyone has a clue when are these hitting Austria and mid Europe in general?

[Erynion]

Cecilie - thank you for both rounds of pictures with the shield.

A Lego Rep. I think it was in the series one thread. Someone emailed TLG and got a response saying distribution would include stores besides toys r us and specifically named target and Walmart.

I'd be happy if they'd just show up in Toys R Us around Canada...

Or Wal-Marts across Canada. It wouldn't hurt to have them in Zellers too

I am fairly positive they have not been released yet, I'm sure as soon as they are the barcodes will follow shortly thereafter.

I called a handful of the US Lego stores and there all saying series 2 is coming out September. They might start appearing at toys r us in a week or two.

How did you figure this out?

How did you figure this out?

I went through the box in the store for 16 unique barcodes (took a while), and then as I opened them I cut off the barcode and taped it to the picture as shown.

Awesome, thanks SavaTheAggie! Or should I say, "Gig 'em!" (my ex-wife was an Aggie, so I know the lingo).

So, does this mean that series 2 has finally hit the North American shores somewhere??

[Mr. Elijah Timms]

Thank you Aggie... Let the games begin.

Are there a lot of people shopping in stores in both North America and Europe?

Yes, some want both!

For those of you around me in Dallas, Texas, USA - From what I gathered through my travels today, all of the Dallas / Fort Worth Metroplex TRU's had them and are out already. This is what I found out from employees that I talked with. I did not get even one :( I called one of the two Lego stores in the Metroplex (I had already read a prior post that said the other was out,) No luck there either.

Does anyone know how the releases worked last time? Did stores get multiple shipments?

Thanks Superkalle and Ras for uploading the codes!

I saved them to my cell phone and succesfully got the first 18 copies.

12 to go ...

You got that right. The distribution here in the States is beyond maddening.

I suspect part of the problem is that the retail employees are snatching these things up before they ever get out onto the sales floor. That's not unhead of for in-demand collectibles.
