How can we get our hands on these? How and when?

Heading down to Rio. Online for around 50-150.

There's one listed on brickclassifieds right now... all offers will be considered.

[marcandre]

Which one of those is the Zika virus? 

[Alpinemaps]

I like those.  Years ago, I collected Olympic Mascot merchandise.  They remind me a bit of Mixels.  I'd love to get these, but not for more than $20.

These things look like the spawn of the Yo Gabba Gabba characters on acid.  However, they'll make the people lucky enough to get their hands on them a lot of money.

40225 contains 197 pieces and, according to a new blog post published, will only be available in official Rio 2016 shops as well as Rio de Janiero and São Paulo airports.

If the faces and Olympic Logo chest pieces were not stickers, I would be more interested in acquiring these.

At least with this one, I think there's a really good chance this won't be remade...

[BrickStanley74]

There probably won't be a UCS version either

If there is, they can still use the stickers.

Really?  That sucks, but also means it'd be easy enough to replicate.

Where do you get that price from? I've never seen it that low.

[Emvisawthatswho]

My GF best friend just ordered them for me.

[Kenxxx]

It'd be interesting to know where she got them.  Price's I've seen are pretty consistent: R$129.99 at Lego... R$99.99 at PB Kids, Ri Happy, and Walmart sites (brazil).

[jbacunn]

So they released another Adventure Time set? Oh wait....

A friend just picked up a few for me today at the San Paulo Lego store. 129 which comes out to about $40 apparently. 

[Emvisawthatswho]

Trying to have a friend of mine pick up more. She told me they are OOS at many stores. Getting harder to find down there it seems.

[nolanfan34]

I ended up with three, very interesting to know what the production run was on these. 

[MillerTime]

I was fortunate enough to make it out to the Rio Olympics for 2 weeks and brought home 2 of these. They were EVERYWHERE at the Olympics stores. Did not appear to sell many at all.

You should have told us.  I would have paid you to bring some extras home.
