Lego Polybag Availability Update (May 2016)

Minor correction: both the Fire Truck and the Popstar poly are/were also Target polys.

Wait, TC-4 is available again?

Someone here on the board reported seeing it at Legoland Florida last month.

Someone found some last month - forget where - Disneyland?

Spotted 10 C3p0 at TRU about 2 weeks ago. Could be just that TRU was slow... didn't see those in Jan.

I grabbed 8xTC-4 at Legoland Florida park last month. There might have been more (should have grabbed them all). 

They also had A-Wing Starfighters and I grabbed some of those.

Seen First Order Tie Fighters at Target in North East

Seen Go- Karts - at least 100 at Target in North East

Seen many Ice Bear Mech at Target in South

Went to a local Legoland Discovery store yesterday. Picked up 2 each of the FO Star Destroyer and Kylo Ren's Command Ship polybags. They had approximately two barrels of each out for sale.

Should I have picked up more ? I see some listings on eBay for $20 for the matched pair of polybags. Is anyone moving these at that price?

I picked up 19 TC-4 at legoland fl. Last weekend.
They had at least 100 left. I already sold 17 at around $10 a piece. Should've grabbed more.

Legoland discovery in Toronto only had monthly mini models, a city construction pile driver looking thing and an elves set I didn't care for.

The monthly mini models were nice, and cheaper. They had February-April.

Yep. Sold all mine in one lot for $11 each. Not a bad flip!

I have been collecting poly bags for a couple of years do they ever go up in value?

Shopping question re: Polybags. 30277 and 30279 (FO Star Destroyer and Kylo Ren's command ship) - are these expected to hit Target etc.? Or will they stay exclusive to the LEGOLand parks ... what's the experience? Looking to buy for my son's collection of SW minis.

If any of you lucky fellas close to LEGOLand is willing to pick me up one of each that would also be great - contemplating just grabbing a set for $20 off of Ebay but if you can give me a better price let me know.

A lot of time those polys end up at Target or TRU.  Not every time, but it seems like most the time they do.

My LL CA pass expired a couple months ago.  I occasionally do a shopper's pass to get in there.  I may have to be in the area this week, and if I do, I'll swing by there.  If they have any in stock, I'll see if I can hook you up.

That would be amazing.

5004406 First order general suppose to be available in one Lego store in France as May the 4th freebie with purchase, hoth bricks says its a choice, either this or first order stormtrooper like the rest of the stores. This one available in Levallois location.

So the First Order General is only going to be available outside the US?

So far, just Costa Rica.  I'm willing to bet it will end up in general distribution at some point.

Poe's X-Wing is available at Targets all over MA and NH. I make one trip per week to review what's my local stores and, even if they are sold out, the next week there is generally stock. There is one Target that had so many they were literally falling off their hangers into the aisles...

Keep these kinds of updates coming please. I update based on what I hear. If I haven't seen anyone talk about something like Poe's X-Wing then I assume it's fallen off.

Thanks for mentioning it Ivy.

Poe's X-Wing along with the TIE Prototype polybags have been overflowing at my two local Targets in Alameda and Emeryville, CA for at least the last three months.

Still very difficult to get here in the Cincy area.

I wasn't aware of that at all. I just assumed it was abundant nationwide since there's so many at my Targets. I just checked eBay and it doesn't seem worth it to pick up for retail (either $3.99 or $4.89). My Target implements the TRU tax on some Lego items. How do you guys think this will do in the long haul?

Let me know if you'd like me to pick up any for you. I'd be happy to help.

Thanks for the offer - I have had my share and even flipped quite a few over the holidays

MI Targets have many Poe polys and Proto polys. The FO Tie polys are harder to find. I have only found 2 after checking out about 6 stores.
