No idea about these guys. I will say that after almost missing out on a couple of them, while trying to collect them all, I don’t fool around. I pick them up as soon as I see them, even if it’s at retail.

From FB Trains group:

I thought that helicopter looked familiar.

usually when no one responds to a good question it means no one here knows the answer LEGO has been doing some wacky distribution stuff w/ BHz: started off with SDCC ultra exclusives, then for a couple of years flooded the market where folks were seeing BHz even in dollar store, then retirement of the whole line rumors, had super short runs (mouse couple), special numbered exclusives w/ retail giants: Walmart and Target, currently experimenting with seasonals, and now become super selective on licensed source material: Star Wars and Disney. so really no clue on the recent Disney BHz sets. They look great and I doubt LEGO will flood the market again so if you like em...get em.

eBay.

Missing pancakes.

Can't imagine these sets not doing well. Classics!

It’s about 3 x here too. BH’s in general are nowhere near as popular in Australia as they are in other parts of the world. Still , they’re cheap to buy , cheap to post and don’t take up much room. New Disney sets will go well with Minnie and Mickey.

I feel like Lego lost an opportunity here to not pair this with a transforming wolf wrapped in sheep’s clothing.

This is a VERY small run GWP. Its in a generic outer box that has nothing specific to the set. The box has a 'window' in the front and the set picture, number, and barcode are all printed on a cardboard insert. It also has a strange set number of 6322642 that doesn't conform to the normal GWP 40XXX numbering. This definitely feels like a 'hand-packed' set, and I've heard that anything under 5000 copies gets hand-packed. Something comparable might be the Space Slug GWP, although that had a nicer box than this, which means it's probably a smaller run than that was.

I posted this in the Meijer Clearance thread last night, but currently additional 30% off clearance sets there, some stores have signs up, others don't, but it should pop up on an in-store price scanner. Most of the clearance is first markdown at 20% so like 44% off RRP after the offer. Lots of recently released Mars sets, recent Friends sets, the larger Frozen II sets, but also retiring sets.

Happy Returnuary! The month in which I bend over and take it like a champ.

What a weird numbering system. Why have the seasonal sheep at #100 with these two sets sandwiching it?

5 times RRP in less than 6 months is not enough momentum for you?

This makes so much sense, since the first Black Widow was so popular.
