What store was Winter Soldier at in the wild?

If I remember correctly, it was a promo directly from Lego.

Never made it to Target or TRU?

No Winter Soldier was only ever a giveaway from LEGO.

Are you looking to buy? Give me a price. I'll post it on my brick classified store.

I haven't seen any polybags at any Target or Walmart near me since the holidays.

Target has them at the checkout lanes as impulse buy items. Found the fireman guy (sorry so unofficial) in Milford. Was not on file, but MOD wouldn't go less than $2. Bought the same one under the same circumstances at 1308. MOD said $0.50, so I bought it. My six year old is highly entertained by a flaming trash can.

It was around June/July 2015 I belive.

Thanks, I forgot about the checkout lines.

You must not stand in line with little kids then. My kids will never let me forget Lego in the check out line as well as gum, candy, shopkins and everything else

Shopkins are my bane

I hate to break it to you, but you are being played. I taught my kids early on. The answer is ALWAYS "No". They don't even ask because they know my policy on impulse items. If you hear a toddler begging and screaming about a last minute candy bar or small toy, it's not my kid. I observed enough of these antics while I was serving my time in retail to know that I NEVER wanted that to be my kid. The only one who gets everything they want when they want it is me.

That's great you did that. I am lucky mine never beg or cause a scene, just point out everything and they know our Lego weakness

I found 4 more 30256 at my local target!

Another 7 for only $3.49 each =)

I just picked up a few "monthly mini models"

I'd never seen them before, and I couldn't find info about them here. Got a little info on BL, but j guess they are too new.

Are they good for investing, or just flipping?

They're pretty cute. My kids would love them.

I've never done any research on them.  I personally ignore them, but I'm sure they're fine.  You can look them up on Brickset.

Can anyone tell me about the people on eBay selling loose 30605s for $15? I don't really understand where they are coming from. Factory thieves? Fake? I have 1 game coming but considered grabbing a couple more and selling off the game and selling the figures, but if $15 is the loose price, bagged won't do much better (I think). Anyone have any insight?

I noticed the same thing for 30606. The same seller has sold 150+ as well for that one.

Couldn't quite figure it out. Almost wanted to order one for the return address as that city is close to me.

Is the seller from Texas?

[bamiddle]

Is the seller from Texas?

If i recall Southern California

Santa Ana to be exact.

The one I'm seeing is SoCal.

There's one in San Antonio too

Plus one from Mexico and somebody in our state too...

[stackables]

Pretty sure some swipe them from the plants in Mexico.

[Sfcommando14]

I'm going to order from the one in San Antonio.  If they're garbage, they offer returns and it cost me $2.45 in return shipping to find out.  If they're good, these warehouse thieves will sell out and they may be worth something.
