Anyone else notice the major retailers seem to be trickling these sets every couple days?

I really doubt there is much of a shortage on the smaller sets. I am convinced Lego is just routing their inventory to the big box stores. The ones that are hard to find, and always has been are IR and RE.

following in LEGO's footsteps and re-releasings posts.  One way to get to 10k quicker...

I managed to find 30 RE from a few WM in my area. And I grabbed the last 3 IR from the Lego store as well. WM had plenty of the the other sets, from the cheapest to T-Rex.

OK, so its a rare occurance.

It seems that through September and into October, many Canadian members reported seeing RE everywhere, whereas it had been gone from US Walmarts in July or August.

Its funny though how 4-5 posts can be extrapolated into representative fact for entire nations

I've only seen Raptor Escape 3 times up here and I cleaned them out the last 2 times. I think we're quite similar.

OK, so the post at the top is what i'm talking about. 

THIRTY!!!!!!!!!!! that's very different that anything in the US.

Mr. Tacsniper, can you please share the seal codes? Also, congrats!

Keep it that way! I'm hoping to ship quite a few sets in and around Ontario. It simply wouldn't do if folks could go to a local B&M store to get JW sets...

It's hard work but someone has to. All of my sales have been to out West as it happens. It is dinosaur country out there I suppose.

I do my best to prove that trickle down economics doesn't work. For anyone else.

The 30 I found yesterday were all 38R5. I believe that is the latest seal codes reported by some that found them in the USA as well. 

If anyone have 39R5 and beyond please report. Thanks!

I found 3 Walmarts with new RE in a 25 mile radius. One had 10, another 4, and 1. All 37r5 codes. They are out there. I can't believe my redneck area is only one to get them but would be great.

did you call or the app?

I don't believe LEGO is shipping any of these to WM.  These are sitting at various WM distribution sites and have for a while.   If you can befriend a night worker, you can ask them to scan an item's tag and have them order for you.  There's a lady at the closest Walmart to me that has done this a couple of times.  She simply scans the tag, puts how many I ask her to order, and gives me a ballpark day that they should arrive.  I say night worker because the days can be hectic and nights boring.  Usually, night people love an excuse to stop putting things on shelves and help a person out.  It breaks the monotony I suppose.  It doesn't hurt that this particular employee has a grandson that loves LEGOs and she wants to get him a couple of the sets for Christmas.

The most up-to-date seal code is 37R5, which is on 2 RE I cleared from a local WM on Oct 11.

Right now I have 5 RE, 4 RR, 2 TT and 2 RI. These sets are really get in my nerves because these are all acquired by MSRP.

I don't think you have anything to worry about... I am sure there are many on here holding much more at MSRP. Just don't hold too many 75915,6,7,8 at this time. I do expect Lego to honour their 'check back in feb' statement on it's website

Lol that's basically the entire line

The funny thing is on my app on my phone it showed out of stook at every store but on my tablet it was showing up in Stock for about 6 stores. I didn't trust it but went to the stores and they were there. I cleaned them all out but some are still showing in Stock. I did call the one store and he said none were there that showed in Stock so hit or miss. I have sold the 15 or so I got because that is only set I have good stock of.

What are you accessing on both devices?  WM app?  Stock tracker?  If so, which one?

Funny you should say that...the last two IRs I sold were sent to AB. $269 shipped each. Since they came from the London Drugs 20% off sale (plus $10 off my order) I'm pretty happy with that return. At first my wife blanched at the double digit IRs coming into the house, but unless a major restock hits in the next few weeks I think she'll end up pleased.

I use the Walmart App.

Which platform are you guys using to sell in Canada?

Jurassic World has totally gone from Lego.com (Australia) . Theme has gone .Nothing comes up when you type in Jurassic World in the search engine, and nothing comes up when you type in the individual sets. And nothing comes up when you search top sellers. Why wouldn't they just say "Check back in _______" for availability - say in March or Feb.  Have they pulled other themes in the past like that? Maybe they are not bringing it back to Australia.

They have put the theme back up now  . Ignore earlier post. 

Raptor Rampage currently available to order online from Asda.

Smyths Toys are expecting stock at the end of November. Raptor Escape is somewhat more elusive. Doesn't even seem to be any pre-orders available.

Just find 6 more RE at local Walmart and app said were in Stock. They were hidden on opposite side of lego on top shelf. 

So I ordered 4 IR from target last week when it blipped into stock. They are sending three, one has been delayed. Will be interesting to see if they get any more. I won't mind not getting the 4th if it truly dries up everywhere. 

Starting to wonder how these Jurassic sets will do at xmas. I have to think most (if not all) of what has come into stock for the past month has goes to resellers.

I have little faith these do well for christmas.  Everyone is going to be dumping stock and making 5.00 on a set.  Almost daily the reseller count rises…  Once again, some just don't know when to say when.
