hockeyweasel Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 In stock on TRU.com for all of 30 minutes. I managed to order 10, but it looks like they failed to impose limits. So I'm sure one of you peeps got like 100. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like you, I was sure that some reseller would take advantage of it. I got my 3 for trading. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hockeyweasel Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Yeah, maybe I'm just bitter that I didn't have the kahunas to buy more, as though 10 isn't greedy enough. Little Timmy is just going to have to settle for that stupid 40202 Easter Chick, instead. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stackables Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 If these are hard to get, I would imagine the value of the original will not take a gigantic hit. I would guess still in the $15 value range. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just like you, I was sure that some reseller would take advantage of it. I got my 3 for trading. And this is the only situation where my fellow LEGO resellers, particularly the QFLL pegs out my BS meter a bit. Depleting the entire supply of a limited production run item in 30 minutes just to sell at a later date for inflated prices is frustrating. Hopefully it pops back in stock online, and I have to hope it's offered in store in March. 7 minutes ago, stackables said: If these are hard to get, I would imagine the value of the original will not take a gigantic hit.

No announcement of the availability at TRU. In-store vs online. Free promo vs for sale item. Available dates. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 I seriously doubt this is only going to be available for 30 minutes on TRUs site. It will be back and it will be back in force. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clintonjoseph Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 Looking at the pics of them on eBay, it doesn't have the TRU exclusive logo on the box. Aren't these a Lego shop giveaway in Europe too? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Robbourgeois Posted February 27, 2016 Share Posted February 27, 2016 They sold out while I was here looking for a coupon. Just wonderful. Had 5 in my cart, then poof. :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for keeping me grounded in reality. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted February 28, 2016 Share Posted February 28, 2016 Amusing to think the only thing 'exclusive' here is the throwaway box. LEGO has rereleased characters from the Minifigures line before with brick calendars, accessory packs, and similar odd items through Shop-at-Home or their physical locations but those items at least included some kind of actual build and usually only the figure minus his/hers unique accessories therefore there still was something missing you could only acquire by buying the original blind packs. I suppose this is simply running off the minifigure cube principal tried with Target now somewhat with Toys R Us so it is just a box and character though honestly I believe they missed an opportunity for a buildable chicken coop. Also could have featured the latest egg piece from Angry Birds as well. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
