Orlego Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Yesterday all US Lego retail stores received 50% of the new 05 sets. Your local store should have everything they received stocked by now. The themes/sets received are as follows... 7238 Helicopter 7241 Fire Car 7244 Speedboat With Engine 8652
mahjqa Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 I'll be checking the stores (current location: Belgium) but I don't think there's anything released here yet. Question: do the 4-wide cars (8644 - Street Maniac, 8643 - Power Cruiser, 8642 - Monsters Crusher, 8641 - Flaming Glider ) have *any* kind of functionality and/or extra play value, or are they 'just' cars on 4 wheels and that's it? (as in, a pull-back engine, a shooting mechanism, anything)
Vader Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Ill be visiting my local Toys R us tonight (crosses fingers)

(as in, a pull-back engine, a shooting mechanism, anything) I have not had the chance to open one yet but to the best of my knowledge, they are just matchbox like cars with no pull-back engine or shooting mechanism. I will check it out tonight.
Orlego Posted December 7, 2004 Author Posted December 7, 2004 Ill be visiting my local Toys R us tonight (crosses fingers) Toys R Us will not have anything new, just the Lego Brand Stores (Lego Stores) Not even Shop At Home will have the products until Jan. 8. Lego owned retail stores are getting the new sets early for Christmas sales.
Vader Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Guess ill just have to play with my house *devil* *devil* *devil* :-D
sam89 Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 We have Lego Stores in the UK, but they're not selling any of the 2005 stuff yes (at least they weren't on Saturday).
Vader Posted December 7, 2004 Posted December 7, 2004 Toys r us hardly had any lego sets, it seems that people have been taking advantage of their buy 2 get 1 free deal.
Orlego Posted December 8, 2004 Author Posted December 8, 2004 Guess ill just have to play with my house *devil* *devil* :-D Damn you Vader, Damn you!!! ;)
Orlego Posted December 8, 2004 Author Posted December 8, 2004 We have Lego Stores in the UK, but they're not selling any of the 2005 stuff yes (at least they weren't on Saturday). You may want to check with them again Sam. We just received our product on Monday. *satis*
sam89 Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 Well I just phoned up the store and they said that the new sets aren't coming in until January :(
Vader Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 Damn, this has to be one of the first years (at least since the sw line started) that we wont be getting any new sets in time for xmas :'(
theoryzero Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 Ill be visiting my local Toys R us tonight (crosses fingers) Toys R Us will not have anything new, just the Lego Brand Stores (Lego Stores) On the contrary. TRU has tons of 2005 sets and at much better prices given the BOGO going on this week!
Vader Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 theoryzero i live in England and at this moment in time none of our shops have any 2005 sets.
theoryzero Posted December 8, 2004 Posted December 8, 2004 Hi vader, Sorry, I realize this is a Euro site, but Orlego had posted the availability of the 2005 sets in US Lego stores. I can only confirm TRU availability in the US.
theoryzero Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 Thanks Vader, I found this site after some of my images of the new Alpha Team sets popped up here.
mybleedinheart Posted December 9, 2004 Posted December 9, 2004 Hello im new here. I know in the states Toys 'R Us at least in Michigan has stocked alot fo the new 2005 sets. The police, fire,bionicle and racers along with the enzo are all in.
Orlego Posted December 9, 2004 Author Posted December 9, 2004 Hello im new here. I know in the states Toys 'R Us at least in Michigan has stocked alot fo the new 2005 sets. The police, fire,bionicle and racers along with the enzo are all in. Lego strikes again. Us at Lego retail were told by corp. that all other retailers would only receive new product on Jan. 8th, along with shop at home. They were having us promote the new product to our customers as Lego Store exclusives. I guess they have changed positions and are now focused on making the most money they can before Christmas. |-/ Welcome aboard mybleedinheart & theoryzero. Thanks for the info, both of you. :-D
