kenaijoe Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 Yeah, that's what I have been doing. The closest Lego store is about 15 miles away from me though so I can only really make 1 trip a day. It gets awkward when I just go out to my car and then back in for more and the employees recognize me. Quote

meganr Posted November 7, 2015 Posted November 7, 2015 I went to the Southcenter (WA) Lego store the other day and they would only let me buy one RE and had to ask if I was allowed to but two IR. Quote
kenaijoe Posted November 8, 2015 Posted November 8, 2015 I went to 3 lego stores today. 1 of them had no JW sets at all. One had 1 RE left and a few DAs and PCs. The last one had 3 REs left and I think some RRs too. Still pretty scarce around here. Quote
brickolodon Posted November 9, 2015 Posted November 9, 2015 My store, limit of 1...i didnt even bother to buy it... Quote
skanks Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 Will be interesting to see if the other sets go retired once the current stock levels go at LEGO Shop at Home I'm really hoping they do. Quote
gregpj Posted November 11, 2015 Posted November 11, 2015 In the last 3 days we've built all the JW sets.... They are very cool and use some nice build techniques. The kids love the Dinos and Gyrospheres the most... but everything is getting play time including the Pteranodon Capture helipcopter (the net shooter). In fact, I was just looking at it and aside from the "additions" of the stud shooter and net shooter, it's one of the best looking lego helicopters I've seen. It really looks like a helicopter! I don't know how in-demand they'll be at Xmas with Star Wars taking so much air time, but they should be. I think they'll be highly prized and sought after in years to come. Quote

bigreen Posted November 12, 2015 Posted November 12, 2015 Want to share a piece of my experience. I'm in Montreal Quebec. Last Sunday (Nov. 8 ) I visited TRU in Angrignon to return 1 75918 and 2 75917, and amazingly found they only have 3~4 75918 left: just 3 weeks ago they have all the JW sets except for RE on shelf, including at least 4 75919 -- but it might because of resellers like me: seems these days they got quite some returns of Lego JW sets This Tuesday in the afternoon a guy suddenly contact me for 75919. For this set I have 2 in total and just want to get rid of at the time, so I listed it as $170 on Kijiji. He want 75919 in such a hurry so we arrange the pick up in the very evening, he also shows interest to my other JW sets. At the pick up he told me that day he called TRU for the availability of 75919 and was told it will be available in coming February. Struck by fear this father rushed to a Walmart and grabbed all JW sets he can saw: 75917, 75918 and 75916. Although he showed interest to 75920 but still refused to pay a premium for it. Maybe the happy hour is just around the corner? Quote

odysea11 Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Lego store here in Colorado is stacked with JW sets. Seems to be this year's Tumbler like other's have said. Not available online, but the stores are well fed. Quote
hockeyweasel Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Virginia Lego stores got all but Raptor Escape today. Quote
PeaceBD Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 TRU in my area got a complete restock of JW. T-rex and RR were stocked pretty well. There were 3 IR left. Quote

ISO8T0 Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 TRU in my area got a complete restock of JW. T-rex and RR were stocked pretty well. There were 3 IR left. Ditto. Except only 1 IR. Quote
Guest Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 Checked 2 more walmarts in my area today. Still zero JW sets of any kind. The restock must have been to only certain markets Quote
legowalker Posted November 14, 2015 Posted November 14, 2015 (edited) Anyone stocking up the 75916 & 75917 now? Now sure if I should get some now or save the money for RE and IR and TREX. Edited November 14, 2015 by legowalker Quote
Vinetu Posted November 15, 2015 Posted November 15, 2015 I can't believe you can still find 79012 Mirkwood Elf Army on the shelves over there! You guys are lucky in the US, no chance for it in Europe... Quote
