TheWorldAhead Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Purchased the First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter polybag at Target today. Honestly, it might be my favorite polybag of all time; it's beautiful. Gotta go back and get another one for the printed mini TIE windscreen. But for the first time in my memory, there is actually a legitimate shortage of Star Wars LEGO in the world. Quote
Yeow Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) Went on a bit of a buy spree picking up sets that are (possibly) on the verge of retiring. Got 75055 Star Destroyer, Republic AV-7 Anti-Vehicle Cannon, Anakin's Customer Jedi Starfighter and the TRU combo pack that includes The Ghost and the Phantom. Still need to grab a B-Wing and possible the Jedi Scout fighter within the next week or so and then I'll be done for a few months. At least until Amazon has discounts on the new sets!

Datamunky Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 I wish stores near me had these sets early... Probably won't help but this was in Exeter, UK. Quote
Robianco Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Just picked up the two TFA Battlepacks and the two TFA Microfighters from Smyths Toys in Speke. Plenty of them around. No sign of any of the other sets though. Quote
Hobbun Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Went on a bit of a buy spree picking up sets that are (possibly) on the verge of retiring. Got 75055 Star Destroyer Any word on a new Star Destroyer as this one is being retired? It is actually discontinued on S@H. Would love to see another Super Star Destroyer, tbh. Quote
BigEl Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 5x The last good one I mean I am not really someone who declares new versions are bad cause they are new. The newest realistic stormtrooper is absolutely the best one. But the actual newest one, the Rebel Version, well... Quote

The newest realistic stormtrooper is absolutely the best one. But the actual newest one, the Rebel Version, well... My feelings, as well. This is the version I like the best, also. If I do have that big set-up that needs a lot of troopers, this will be the ones. The helmet on those Rebel troopers... Quote
Junior Shark Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Purchased the First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter polybag at Target today. Honestly, it might be my favorite polybag of all time; it's beautiful. Gotta go back and get another one for the printed mini TIE windscreen. Dood, +100. I've already picked up 4 of those polybags. That windscreen has so many potential uses, control panel, this (fig on the right), you name it. As for my recent purchase, it was the Shadow Troopers battlepack, one of those TIE polybags, and the Gunship microfighter. Quote
mediumsnowman Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Nabbed the last FO Tie poly at Target. There were none left on the racks, but I found one stashed behind some other sets, as if someone was coming back for it... I got it first. Quote

There were none left on the racks, but I found one stashed behind some other sets, as if someone was coming back for it... I got it first. Two of my local Targets are already out of those polybags, but a third is still loaded with 'em. Do I have any intention of clearing them out? Well, stranger things have happened.... Quote
Hobbun Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Are these polybags usually sold over by the normal LEGO sets? I will be honest, I've never seen separate minifigs sold in polybags, but then I guess I just could have missed them. Quote

I will be honest, I've never seen separate minifigs sold in polybags, but then I guess I just could have missed them. Usually the polybags with minifigures are at Toys R Us. I think... As far as other polybags go, at Target they'll either be up at the registers (by the candy), or back in the toy section at the end of an aisle (usually as far away from the Lego section as possible ).

Hobbun Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Ok, thanks. I may be stopping at Toys R Us today. So if I do so, I will take a look. Quote
Junior Shark Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Ok, thanks. I may be stopping at Toys R Us today. So if I do so, I will take a look. There are three minifigure polybags you have a chance of encountering at TRU: the Hulk one, the red-armed C-3PO, and the Stormtrooper Sergeant. Quote
Hobbun Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Oh, I got the Hulk one, but it is being given to someone else. had purchased a Junior set for a friend of mine's daughter about a week or so ago and TRU had special going where they were giving away a Hulk figure (polybag) if I spent at least $30 on a set. So there are no Tie Fighter pilots at TRU? At the least, will be on the look-out for the C-3PO or Stormtrooper Sargeant. Thanks. Quote

Thanks. Uh-oh! There's no TIE Fighter Pilot polybag! The polybag we were discussing is a FO Special Forces TIE, which is at Target. Sorry if we gave you the wrong impression!

Sorry if we gave you the wrong impression! No worries. Plenty of Targets out where I live, if I am in the area, will stop in and see if they have any. So to be clear, were you discussing only the TIE Fighter pilot from the FO Special Forces TIE set, or a TIE Fighter pilot in a polybag at Target, as well? Quote
Junior Shark Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 So to be clear, were you discussing only the TIE Fighter pilot from the FO Special Forces TIE set, or a TIE Fighter pilot in a polybag at Target, as well? Hmmm... not seeing any discussion about TIE pilots on this thread....Maybe you're confusing this with the discussion about the UCS TIE Pilot that was going on in the 2015 Pictures & Rumors thread? And as far as polybags go, the only polybag with any First Order connections is the First Order Special Forces TIE Fighter (@ Target), which was being discussed in this thread. Clear as mud? Quote

Actually, it's clear now. You were just calling me out on saying "TIE Fighter pilot", instead of FO Special Forces TIE Fighter pilot. Sorry for not being specific enough! But, got it now. Quote
Junior Shark Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 (edited) But, got it now. Good to hear! And hey, let us know about the status of Stormtrooper Sergeants @ Toys R Us. I went yesterday, but an employee said they were "all out". Which at my Toys R Us, is code for "I don't know where they are", which usually means I come back in a day or two and they're in a huge pile on a shelf. So fingers crossed for my trip today! I hope they're not sold out... I mean, they still have oodles of the TFA C-3PO poly. Edited December 16, 2015 by Junior Shark Quote
JPN366 Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Went to TRU and got their last two Stormtrooper Sargent polybags. Quote
Junior Shark Posted December 16, 2015 Posted December 16, 2015 Went to TRU and got their last two Stormtrooper Sargent polybags. Lucky. Checked back today and my TRU is definitely out of them. Quote
Kman860 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 Probably won't help but this was in Exeter, UK. Thanks for the help, but I'm in Canada Quote
JPN366 Posted December 17, 2015 Posted December 17, 2015 @Junior Shark: Try the customer service desk, that's where I always get polybags. Quote
