maestro Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Liked Jurassic Park, no interest in the sequels though haven't seen Jurassic World. Are these going to be a good investment or is it a case of lots of children buying sets from the latest movie hit? I know Dinosaurs are very popular. Quote
dcdfan Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I created this thread for dcdfan. I am very honored to say the least... Carrying over from the Jurassic World 2015 forum...If this Walmart exclusive (in America) is truly done, it should prove to be a very highly sought after piece as The Zombies is... 4 Quote

Jeff Mack Posted July 17, 2015 Author Posted July 17, 2015 We aim to please. As far as speculation on this set, you never know. The Indominus Rex set went OOS real fast at launch and is already gone at Amazon and Walmart. Still in stock at Target and LEGO S@H, but will it show up in the other two again. Like others have said, it is quite popular because of the movie and LEGO might be making mass quantities of all these sets right now. I think they will want to get them out as soon as possible though while its still summer, the kids are still hungry for these sets. If they don't, I am not sure if we will see all them by Christmas. 1 Quote
Sandwraith Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 Moved my post from Jurassic World thread to this:This theme has acted very strangely. Especially here in Canada. In my area (GTA), no Walmart's ever got any physical stock of any Jurassic set, even before they were flying off the shelves after the movie came out. Online stock is so limited and all the JW sets are labelled "NOT SOLD IN STORES".I'm willing to bet that WM Canada never even got shipments of Raptor Escape. If they did it might have been very early in the line's release and they sold out quick as i never had a chance to get it and i purchased all the sets a couple days after release.The non-LEGO toys from JW are also really terrible if anyone's been watching reviews and whatnot (Raptors missing their raptor claw, Indominous not able to stand on it's own, easily breaking mechanisms, no line of action figures, etc). These toys are nothing like the JP1-JP2 toy lines which were amazing. Maybe LEGO did not expect this much traffic on their products, and the crappy Hasbro line detered many to grab LEGO sets instead.Again who knows though, happy i have a couple Escapes just in case.

lazuli16 Posted July 17, 2015 Posted July 17, 2015 I wonder if it's going to have the same production run schedule as Research Institute, it was out of stock/sold out all summer long and then come Christmas time they flooded retailers with them. Quote
Jersey Crewmax Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 I picked one up when I came across it at WM. I liked the reptors and considering Jurassic World as the first theme to complete. 1 Quote
waddamon Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Just picked up the last 15 in my state. Here is to hoping for zombie type returns, with a limited production. 2 Quote

msdontplay01 Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 Just picked up the last 15 in my state. Here is to hoping for zombie type returns, with a limited production.I picked up 15 Raptor Escapes as well from several different Walmarts I passed on my way back home from visiting my parents after the Fourth of Jul holiday. I am thinking about hitting up a few more to scoop up the last few remaining in my area. 3 Quote
Ed Mack Posted July 18, 2015 Posted July 18, 2015 There is very little risk with this set. Even if it isn't sold out and more are produced, it is a one year theme at maximum. The last Dino sets are doing well. 4 Quote
dcdfan Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 I'm just gonna guess here but wouldn't Target, Walmart & TRU decide how many they want of their exclusive release? If so, maybe Target under guessed on The Zombies & Walmart under guessed on Raptor Escape? If that is the case, maybe TRU over guesses theirs. That could explain why TRU seems to have their exclusives until the end of time... Quote
cory730 Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 I'm up to 15 or so and got 2 more stores in sight. It's up to almost $70 on Amazon. I do know from talking to Entertainment Earth my agent said that Hasbro is stopping production on many toy lines like Transformers to make room for all this Star Wars frenzy about to happen. I'm hoping Lego just don't have time to make more of these or the entire JW lineup for that matter. 2 Quote
BrickU Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 I won't go as far as to say this lineup is done, but I think generally speaking Lego has it's hands full at this particular moment. They don't wanna short themselves on the Star Wars front. This is their bread & butter, because it's every other Star Wars licensee bread & butter( don't run out of stock). Couple that with not shorting bigger exclusives items along with the existing long term mainstay themes. Bottom line is something has to be cut out. I think there's potential for a mass of retirements sooner than later in all themes. 1 Quote
Darth_Raichu Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 These were gone from my area Walmarts, each had at least 3 just a couple of weeks ago. This was what I got for being too busy IRL Quote
exciter1 Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 (edited) I did stop at a few Wal-Marts on the way to Pittsburgh yesterday and I didn't see a single Raptor Escape. From what I've observed the past couple weeks, this one is fairly rare right now, as most of you have noted. My local Wal-Mart had 20 of them that I've been watching the past few weeks or so. I'm not sure why this Wal-Mart had received so many? I did bite the bullet on them this morning. I left one with a loose seal. They're still out there at a few stores.

matt1147 Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 So at my walmarts, this set is the ONLY Jurassic set in stock. All others are gone. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?? Quote
trekgate502 Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 So at my walmarts, this set is the ONLY Jurassic set in stock. All others are gone. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN??maybe the replacement Death Star that will make our stockpiles worthless is gearing up to unleash its weapon on Jurassic World Quote
tacsniper Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 So at my walmarts, this set is the ONLY Jurassic set in stock. All others are gone. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN?? It means buy them all!! I will be more than happy to buy them at retail price or slightly above 1 Quote
dcdfan Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 So at my walmarts, this set is the ONLY Jurassic set in stock. All others are gone. WHAT DOES IT ALL MEAN??It sounds like maybe they dragged their feet putting them or they just got more in...no? Quote
AA-RON Posted July 19, 2015 Posted July 19, 2015 Found some Raptor Escapes at my Walmart. Are they worth getting? Opinions needed. Quote
Jeff Mack Posted July 19, 2015 Author Posted July 19, 2015 Did you read through these threads yet. Lots of opinions on what people are doing. In the end it's up to you 3 Quote
