Wooo hooo new thread with an awesome OP.

I still plan on doing the Exclusive European Advent Calendar order again this year, and my goal is to get it in by September.

This year it looks like it will be Kingdoms Set 7952:

It isn't up on bricklink yet, but I will keep checking and updating this thread.

I went to the Lego Store in Washington Square Mall today (in Oregon), and talked to the store manager. He was pretty open about stuff:

The Harry Potter Castle will be available for pre-sale on Sept 1, and will be in stores on Oct 1.

The Series 2 of mini-figures should be in on Monday or Tuesday this next week, but they got two different emails about selling them - one said to put them out right away, and the other said to wait until Sept 1. He is going to try and get confirmation and I will be calling on Monday to find out.

The Kingdoms Advent Calendar is coming to the US this year, either in late August or Early September. Again, it is a limited supply item just like the City Calendar was last year, and they are supposed to put them out as soon as they come in.

Your Mileage May Vary.

Just noticed that the thread title is using the inappropriate plural for LEGO...wasn't it correct awhile ago?

Only mods can change thread titles, so ask at your own risk!

That being said, Inspector_71 is a cool mod and would likely change it if asked politely.

New poll up for Kids Members - which of these sets do you want to see Lego produce:

LOTR/ The Hobbit
Cars
SpongeBob
TMNT
Batman
Scooby Doo
Avatar
Iron Man
Star Trek
Ghost Busters

Sadly, there was no 'All of them!' option.

There was also a couple of questions about Halo and their Mega Blocks sets too.

Ok, here's something strange:
http://seattle.craigslist.org/sno/bab/2064743205.html

This guy claims to have S3 figures. I e-mailed him, and he said he got them from his local Fred Meyer (or Feed Meter, as his blackberry's autocorrection decided on).
These things aren't due out until January, and it generally takes a good month after they're seen in Europe before they start showing up in the Pacific Northwest.

I went to the nearest two Fred Meyers today, but didn't see them or any spot for them, in Toys, Collectibles, or Seasonal (where they had the S1 figures during Back to School).

The pics aren't great, but they look legit, so keep your eyes open!

I can ask the wife but they were really late putting S3 out here in Portland.

Hell, I'm in the Portland area and still trying to finish out S2, and I'm pretty sure I'm SOL. It's really hard for me to justify picking them up for anything more than retail (TRU retail at worst), but the completionist in me is just going nuts having only half of them on my mantle.

And, uh, it's driving the kids nuts too. Yeah, that. Definitely. They're...despondent.

Anybody in the Portland, OR area with extra S2 minifigs they're trying to get rid of?

I have a couple. What do you need? I have PM.

Apparently Fred Meyer and a few other random retailers had an agreement with LEGO to have one small burst shipment early and that is it. LEGO Stores still wont see them until January, along with pretty much everyone else.

Went to my local Fred Meyer on the way home and they finally had S3 figures out; about a box and a handful left.

Yeah, I went to FM tonight and tried the dot method and am short the fisherman, Indian, Alien and Boom Box Guy. I do have extra elves and others tho.

quote:

The Android minifig app just updated with S3, so I went looking for fills. Got the two Hula dancers I wanted, another Elf instead of the fisherman I thought I had identified with the dots and bag-feel, and a tennis player.

~~What is this Android minifig app?~~

I hit the Fred Meyer in NE Portland tonight on the way home from the gym and they had 3 boxes of S2 figs, so I picked up an explorer and a skier. The price had increased to $3 as well.

I still want a hula girl & a fisherman from S3.

Hey oregoon! I have an extra hula girl, PM me.

Mr. Kamikaze posted:

Are the elves really rare or something? Bricklink only has two sellers that actually have them, and the cheapest is nearly eight dollars.

It happens to be the only minifig I want from this series, too.

I ended up with four, so I would be willing to part with one. PM me.
