I've had no issues, but I usually mention having kids.  Just remember some places don't have any left or the employee doesn't realize there are some in the back.  I've been told no at a GameStop and gone back another time to have an employee find one in the back.

Side note I just saw the Chima Ice Bear Mechs all over the Gulf Coast region Targets and a few boxes of $5.99 C3POs at TRUs in that same area.

I have gone in asking for gifts for my kids (worked), saying I was a collector (worked), just asked if they had any (worked). Never had to pay, even though I always offer.

My Target switched to 30374 Lava Slinger this week - all the usual SW Advanced Tie polys are gone, and it's Nexo time.

Interesting, @Phil B ... After some careful inspection over a multi month period I've missed the last 12 or so days at our targets. Although I can only hit one this evening, I'll do so to see if all of the Ties and X-wings I've referenced in the past (and, at most of our targets, that go cart racer) have given way to lavalavalava.

I got the Kylo Ren Shuttle and FO Star Destroyer today. LEGOLAND Discovery Center.

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

My TRU still has plenty of them

Someone found some last month - forget where - Disneyland?

I bought 20 of these 2 weeks ago at a local legoland where they also sold the new stron troopers, so had to clear the shelf on both. They only had about 20 each

[ivyhedge]

At least one NH TRU now has the "mini fin/wing" Statue of Liberty polybag (40026). Not nearly as nice as the minibuild at the NYC stores (relative comparison, of course), and overpriced at $5.99. There were about 20 there: I bought none (prefer my NYC builds).

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.

No longer overflowing anymore. My two Targets cleaned out the Poe X-wing and TIE Prototype polys in favor of the new Nexo one. There's no way they could've sold all of them. Does Target just put them in the back?

I try to pick up every ice bear I can find. I've been passing on Poe and Proto TIE. Should I stock up on them? Not impressed with the Tie

[Alpinemaps]

Double check the set inventory on the ice bear. I want to say there's a part in there that's a bit unique and shared with the Bat Pod.

[donbee]

Yes there is =)

Wish I'd known this when I passed on dozens a few weeks ago...

[donbee]

I've been flipping bat mobiles, do you think there's any long term hold for these? It seems like TRU is full of these again.

[Alpinemaps]

I only figured it out when I was short a part for my BL'd Batpod. I have a lone Ice Bear I picked up for myself and I almost grabbed that part for the Batpod. Ended up getting another one of those parts so didn't have to worry about it.

Wish I had known when there were tons of hanging around here.

[glostik]

I probably saw thirty ice bears today at target. Should I buy them?

[donbee]

I found this tonight. I haven't seen it mentioned anywhere else.

[donbee]

@philb

release date is 6/28. Cheapest game is $49.99

Will this increase or decrease the value of this set?

[donbee]

I stand corrected. The 3DS version is only $29.99

[Alpinemaps]

It's been available at LEGOLAND California for a month or two.

[Phil B]

I think this means that come July @Sfcommando14 will have 50+ of these, and we're all getting them for free by going by our Gamestops. Interestingly I had been told by Gamestop employees that FN-2187 was going to be the pre-order poly for LEGO TFA.... guess they are as clueless as LEGO Store employees.

[Alpinemaps]

I think FN-2187 is supposed to be a polybag packaged inside the game.

So you'd be getting 2 polys if you preordered the game?

I'm glad I haven't bought any yet.  Now my Silver Centurion/Iron Patriot army will have a fleet!
