weakside Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 At the local mall with wife/mom shopping for clothes today...decided to take my almost 4yr old son to TRU just to look around. Give mommy free space and looking at toys is way better than carrying bags/tagging along Thought might as well ask a cashier if they still have those Robin red cycle polybags. They lady checked and said yes we do have one left Perfect...I told her to save that for me and I will be right back with a Super Heroes purchase. She said any single purchase will do (before there was a min $30 purchase) and also handed a free Elrond polybag to my son! Cap America Cycle cost me a whopping $20.33 including taxes but got Robin Red Cycle and Elrond polybags free. I like the prices I'm seeing for Robin on ebay. Got my son a treat at Diary Queen for his help haha. *there were only 2 beat up Catwoman boxes left...but like 20 boxes of Cap Am?! I thought it would be the other way around. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I really want one of those Red Robin polys. When they first came out I saw a few on eBay for around $12-$15 US and passed figuring they'd go much lower. I may ending up kicking myself really hard about that, as I already own every other Super Heroes poly there is and definately need this one for the collection. Also, I'm quite jealous of the Cap Cycle find. I did not get nearly as many of these as I had wanted before they went bye-bye (I only have 5 ). I haven't seen one in any of the 15-20 stores that I frequent to buy LEGO in over a month. They just disappeared. Waiting around for discounts left me empty handed from online avenues too. Oh, the regret! I can still get them from TRU.com I think, but at $15 US, and a limit of two per customer. Also, no free shipping and tax. Boo.

Guest ph4tb0i Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 Awesome score! Robin polybag is really going up now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Veegs Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 I wish I had a secret stash of Robin polys...nice find! It reminds me I should take a gander to the local TRU tomorrow... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weakside Posted July 28, 2013 Author Share Posted July 28, 2013 yeah, you never know if they might have a few left...worth the check. Obviously if we could of predicted this nice increase in value we would have cleared out stocked on day 1. I remember stock was just sitting there for couple weeks after the promo...opportunity was ripe for savvy investors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
willy431 Posted July 28, 2013 Share Posted July 28, 2013 WOW! I had no idea these had increased so much. What all is inside? Anything special--is the Robin different from all the other ones currently available? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
weakside Posted July 29, 2013 Author Share Posted July 29, 2013 I actually don't know...was going to do some research if the robin variation is unique...i assume you can part out the cycle but collectors just want the original poly/set. For my sake I hope this robin doesn Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheOrcKing Posted July 29, 2013 Share Posted July 29, 2013 Anything special--is the Robin different from all the other ones currently available?He appears to be the same Robin from The Batcave and Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape. I don't know about the rest of the included pieces if they are hard to find in those colors. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
