Not sure what the purchase requirement is but it begins 6/11. It says WW promo and I also got a free movie ticket for WW and a free pool noodle. 

was that TRU?

Surprising. TRU actually sent proper product and quantity. Now if they could get the order they cancelled 254 on off hold that would be great.  

if you get bored of  10 of them, send them on a vacation trip to Mexico....

So are we going to ask for these before or after the game comes out.  I just want to make sure I don't miss the next BP/Gamestop minifigure donation event.

LEGO is on a pod kick.  Guess they figured they have the mold, lets make more colors.

5004914 NEXO KNIGHTS Armor Pod

5004916 NINJAGO Kai's Dojo Pod

5004920 Friends Ski Pod

some pics online you can google of them as well.

I like this concept. (circa 2005)

If it's a free gift with purchase, the system usually (always in my experience) allows it. Left to the worker's discretion. YMMV.

another Christmas one as well 5004934 LEGO Christmas Set,  could be a box set type thing though.  Gingerbread man and Chicken Suit Guy Easter still listed as well so those are still in existence.

Scarif Stormtrooper also listed so should see it show up as promo at LL too.  R3 will have a buddy soon

Maybe more suitable for the order status thread, but anyone else had their pods not ship yet? Ordered 5/31, I only had 3, status still shows items located in stock with 1 cancelled.

Thanks. Will just chalk it up to TRU gonna TRU.

Anybody find any info on the TRU battlepod

No new ad online that I see 

[donbee]

It typically won't be available online until well after the promo.

[Pseudoty]

It is 20% off in store or free with $30 purchase. 

[krnbk2]

I'm 1 for 2 at my local TRU's. First one tried enforcing a 5 pod limit but managed to sweet-talk up to the 31 to had on hand. 2nd store would not budge and was not selling any period.

[justapilgrim]

Batpods are also 20% today

[Forsaker]

If TRU's gonna sell them 5.99, then in a few weeks they'll be worth...just a few dollars more, but not nowhere near what's it's selling for now. Isn't that a deterrent from buying?

[ISO8T0]

Indeed. The market is about to get flooded. Then it's a waiting game.

gallimimus trap polybag. people bought hundreds. look at price now

[ravenb99]

batpod is nowhere near the demand or limited supply of 30320 which was also fueled by perfect timing unlike pod which is coming out well after the movie.   LL having inventory can be anywhere upwards up 50k,  not to mention TRU inventory.  Big difference than a brief stop at gamestop and TRU before truly being gone from everywhere. 

I like the poly and obviously wanted a lot before they hit stores but it was a timing game as usual.  

So few stay truly exclusive and away and even the ones that do are not very good polys to begin with like 30602.  R2 has a shot but seeing no year on that one like last years can come back as a promo later on in the year at LL or another retailer.

Just over 70 K of these made back in November 2016 in China unless there is another production run these should recover. Anyone else have a case from a different production run?

like the admiral?

[stackables]

Couldn't find any at my TRU.  No signs either, just the 20% off.
