Wow, the TRU sales are great, especially Garbage Truck Getaway! It's already $5 off the normal price, and this is a TRU exclusive set, so that's an amazing deal - about 30% off right on its release! :oh:

And that one army man promo polybag looks interesting - thanks whung!

I think I'll wait for Pizza Truck Rescue to go on sale first before buying it, though.

Time to read all the instructions! :grin:

IMO

Most of the new Toy Story 3 sets are good for city fans too.

- The garbage truck can be teamed up with the recycling truck or public workers sets.

- The pizze plant truck is good for city corner's pizza resteraunt.

- And the dump truck is a nice cheap construction set.

TLC is making ciry fans want TS3 sets to big their city bigger. Nice move!

Instructions of new Toy Story sets are available in LEGO.com

including two promos 30070 and 30071

30070 Alien Space Ship

30071 Army Jeep

I think these might be the 2010 Halloween target promos. More so when I saw the second set.

Wow! Thanks for the news! I would have prefered if the army man would have come with a gun instead of a walkie talkie, but it's still a neat set.

What I want to know is HOW DO YOU GET THEM?! :sing::cry_sad:

Oh, I really hope so! I would totally get like ten of the space ship! :cry_happy:

Wow! What a great deal for such a brand new wave! Thanks for letting me know; I am going to the Lego Store today, but after hearing this, I guess the Pizza truck is the only set I'll buy. :grin:

I've just noticed that Twitch's antennae are detachable :thumbup:

I wonder what they could be used for though....

Good eye! :thumbup: I doubt they will be very useful, but I'm sure some people will come up with something... Maybe you could use them on this helmet to create a new kind of Insectoid?

The Pizza Planet truck is one of the few not available at Toysrus. I believe it's a Target exclusive. Unfortunately...I also wanted to purchase it.

I would also love to know how to get the promos! Hopefully we don't have to wait until Halloween!

Yeah, but better late than never, I always say. :wink:

I just got back from a recon mission at my local TRU, and only Garbage Truck Getaway was there. It wasn't on sale, unfortunately, and is already out of stock online. :sadnew:

I went to the Glendale Galleria Lego store a while ago. They had all of the sets if anyone is looking for them.

I ended up getting the 3 smallest sets.

If anyone would like closeups of the figures, ill be happy to take the pictures.

Edit: The pizza planet truck and garbage truck getaway both have no stickers. The pieces are printed. Yay!

A Target exclusive? Hmm, I should be able to find and buy it.

However... I haven't even found a single Prince of Persia set yet, and people are already getting summer sets! I think Australia is falling behind in getting sets more than before.

Erm in Switzerland there are no PoP at S@H and neither in the shops... But then I realised that one of our large brand shops (Manor.ch) is selling exclusively PoP here so perhaps there is likely to be something similar in Aus. I.e. a large brand who is getting opportunities.

No, I don't think that's the case here. The last catalogue I saw had a teaser for them saying "coming April", but it's likely that they've been knocked back a month or two.

Back on topic, I just realised that the front of the dump truck isn't symmetrical as I had assumed. I never really took notice of the other side of it, because I thought it'd be the same. It's not a big issue, but it looks a bit odd.

As OneSnowTrooper pointed out in the "Star Wars anyone" thread, amazon.fr now isn't allowed to sell the new wave of SW sets till june. Interestingly, the TS sets still are listed as available. Could this mean that the TS3 sets will be available for purchase on s@h soon? (I mean in Europe of course :grin: )

My theory on the promos is that they'll be given away at Regal Theaters for those who buy tickets for TS3 in the USA, hence the REG code in the instructions.

Just a theory however.

EDIT:

It appears as though just the Army Man promo has REG10

The Alien Ship promo has a different code, so perhaps a diffrent retailer or theater.

There are new details of how to get the promos (or at least one of them) at Brickset.

Apparently you need to buy bananas at Tesco, and you redeem tokens from each pack for various things. The offer seems to be for the UK, therefore I won't be able to get any. The alien promo also appears to be exclusive to Tesco.

I think captainsamus is right by saying they have different retailers with the promos, as there's no mention of the other one.

Bananas? Really? :hmpf:

I thought it would have been a "buy £30 get free promo" or something like that but bananas is just wack.

It's not just bananas, I bought some apples today and that had a token printed on the pack. I believe some packs of pears and oranges are also good for tokens.

Three tokens gets you the alien space ship, yum!

Now us United States folks just have to wait and see. I've been trying to think of other retailers/places that could possibly be REG10, but the only thing I can think of is Regal theaters or that it's just a generic "Reg = Register" kinda thing.

I did notice HAL10 listed as an option on the Lego website, which I would guess would be for Halloween promos, but that's not really related to Toy Story I don't think.
