Faefrost Posted July 13, 2012 Posted July 13, 2012 Does anybody know why Walmart and ToysRUS are selling the new fall star wars sets and lego.com is not? Ugh! I just found out why neither Lego.com nor any retail stores have these sets out or available in the US yet. According to my local Lego store manager they have a hard street date by contract with Lucas. (I suspect it is 7/23). Walmart and TRU online stores broke the street date when they received their shipments. Lego since they have the direct contract with Lucas can't and won't. And yeah my local manager was pissed about it. They've been losing too many sales from it. Quote

apps Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 (edited) They have been out down under for about a month or so, I would of thought they would be everywhere by now! Edited July 15, 2012 by apps Quote
Admiral-Ackbar Posted July 15, 2012 Posted July 15, 2012 You can buy them online from shop.lego.com or amazon.com, and in the Lego Shops too. Not sure when they will come out in places such as Argos or TRU, but I believe that they are slated for release in August. Not a fun wait! Quote

GuntherThePenguin Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 I know everyone's all excited about next years sets, but we still have to worry about THIS years sets! So does anyone know if the summer wave (Gungan Sub, Jabba's Palace, etc.) are available in actual stores in the US yet? It's been a few weeks since this was discussed so I'm wondering if there's any news... I know everyone's all excited about next years sets, but we still have to worry about THIS years sets!

Da Expert On Anything SWs Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 I believe the offical release date is 23 July 12. One guy found them in Target already; however me....nothing. They are also being sold on walmart.com and toysrus.com! I have already gotten both of the sets I ordered, awesome! And yes, I am talking about US Walmarts! Quote
GuntherThePenguin Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Thanks you guys! I'll keep my eyes peeled! Quote
sologuy369 Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Any more news on Palpatines Arrest? I have been waiting for that set for over five years and m glad they finally made it! Still no summer wave sets at my Target, though. Quote
Spider-Man Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 You won't find Palp Arrest at Target because it is a TRU exclusive unfortunately However right now they are offering it online for retail price, it's sold out though. July 23 S@H should have most of the new sets in so hopefully it will pop up there for $89.99 rather than the $109.99 TRU has it listed at. Quote
The Joker1 Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Im sure this has been asked a billion times before but when is Palpatines arrest out in the UK? It is out in some places like germany already isnt it? Quote
Jcandmeirality Posted July 16, 2012 Posted July 16, 2012 Is it expensive to get sets sent from the US to Australia? Quote
Rogue Angel Posted July 17, 2012 Posted July 17, 2012 Yes, the price ranges from about $30 to about $70, and there is a limit on size. Quote
sologuy369 Posted July 18, 2012 Posted July 18, 2012 Has the imperial v wing gone on sale/clearence yet? Quote
Vindicare Posted July 19, 2012 Posted July 19, 2012 Northern California TRU had Malevolence, Palps Arrest, Darth Malgus ship, and the red EU ship...blanking on the names and numbers. Quote
Solscud007 Posted July 20, 2012 Posted July 20, 2012 My TRU in Nanuet has everything except Gungan Sub. I picked up the Sand Skiff. Quote
Spider-Man Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 The new 2012 sets are available at Barnes and Noble website and some have been knocked down in price a little bit! It isn't much of a discount, but any discount on new sets is good in my opinion Quote
Da Expert On Anything SWs Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 The new Palpatine's Arrest is only $89.99 at Lego.com instead of $109.99 at toysrus. Quote
The Joker1 Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 The new Palpatine's Arrest is only $89.99 at Lego.com instead of $109.99 at toysrus. I may have to order it in fron the US then for that price. Does anyone know when it is out in the UK? Quote
Bob De Quatre Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Just see that TRU US website got the "LEGO Star Wars Advent Calendar (7958)" for 16$ with additionnal 20% off. Dunno if it's new or not... Edited July 23, 2012 by Bob De Quatre Quote
Parrothead Rasmus Posted July 23, 2012 Posted July 23, 2012 (edited) Summer sets are now available on Shop @ Home, along with the exclusives! http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Star-Wars-ByTheme Edited July 23, 2012 by Parrothead Rasmus Quote
