Sharkbait Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 No, I only bought a few today. After reading all the ban threads lately, I don't want to go too crazy. And I'll buy more later with the 10% TRU CC on Thursday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fergi_bricks Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 Any ideas if this is officially sold out/ retired? It's not showing on TRU website anymore... "No products found" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"No products found" I noticed this too. I had the page up and saw that it was in stock at my local TRU. I closed the in store stock window and then the whole page disappeared and I can't find it anymore. Weird. I highly doubt it's sold out/retired.

KShine Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 It was up a little while ago - limit 1 (pickup only). I think it could possibly be done. My guess is that someone found a bunch somewhere in a warehouse, and that LEGO decided to create this odd holiday box set to get rid of them. Some may recall the VW Mini T1's that showed up as unannounced freebies (w/ Lg T1 purchase) well after they were initially gone. If they found a bunch of Chicken suit guys, they wouldn't just give away loose minifigs, so they decided to do this holiday set instead. While I certainly don't know anything official - It would help to explain this very odd "Iconic" creation. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkbait Posted March 2, 2016 Share Posted March 2, 2016 (edited) I just called Toys R Us, the lady said that sometimes items that are out of stock disappear from the website. It looks like this is a very hot item, usually check back in 2-4 weeks to allow for updated inventory. How accurate that is, I can't say.

Lordoflego Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 (edited) Bought 4 of those few days ago on TRU.com. They came and went already, pocketed quick $20 I guess, now hunting for them at local stores but no luck so far...even the link I saved shows now 'no product found' Edited March 3, 2016 by Lordoflego Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkbait Posted March 3, 2016 Share Posted March 3, 2016 I went back at the end of the day to pick up more, and there were only 4 left on the shelf. I picked them up and the lady ringing me up asked what was with those little chicken guys, they sold about 60 today. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
