Nothing wrong with it just because he hadn’t seen your earlier post. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alegrispa Posted October 15, 2018 So the Bricktober set was supposed to be at Toys 'R Us again from friday, but I was extremely busy and I couldn't even find time to call. I just called at all of them and none of them have it or are expected to have it again anytime soon, but guess what- the other Bricktober sets are even stocked online. I am really, really upset right now- I haven't bought any of the new HP sets and all I wanted was an Umbridge so I could make a photo series out of it; "101 Ways to Kill Umbridge". And I really can't afford to spent 50 bucks on a couple of minifigures-. F**K SCALPERS. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocStrange Posted October 15, 2018 Just called a Barnes and Nobles in Michigan and some of the employees have heard of them...so that's a good sign, right? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
froggy95 Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) Does anyone have a B&N product number for the promotional set? Edited October 15, 2018 by froggy95 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Scarilian Posted October 15, 2018 (edited) “Ryankroboth” has built a MOC render of the the missing half of Hogwarts Castle. You can view it here. It is still missing a few segments but this is what i am personally hoping we get as a set eventually. Edited October 15, 2018 by Scarilian Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AusMinifig Posted October 15, 2018 That looks amazing that MOC Hogwarts. If all the sets together complete something similar. Everyone will be very happy I’m taking this with a grain of salt... but have people seen a version of Hagrids Hut just recently added to IG about 1 hour ago, claiming it’s the new Hagrids hut set.

I guess you mean this one. It's been making the rounds a bit recently - its a custom, but pretty amazing work and would definitely get it for Buckbeak if it existed.

AusMinifig Posted October 15, 2018 That’s the one! That’s a great custom, would love to get a new official buckbeak mould like that. Ahh can’t wait to hear news of new sets. Anyone in Australia have news on access for us of the Bricktober pack? I’ve looked online to buy but the prices are extreme...then add postage to here ugh...

1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted October 16, 2018 So at this point regarding the Bricktober pack in the US it seems like our only option is to wait and see if more packs get released either at BN or Lego? Nothing else to do at the moment? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Apparently there are no plans for it to come to Australia. I just picked one up from a Singaporean based BL store. $45 AUD (30 USD) + $13 shipping. It arrived well packaged and mint, so I’m very happy. I figured the minimum spend to get it ‘free’ in store was like $40 anyway, and would have been higher here, if available.

Roobix Posted October 17, 2018 When the Bricktober Harry Potter set was available at US Barnes and Noble, It didn't seem like anyone mentioned it until a little later... is there a place that I can follow which will let me know a bit earlier? I'm worried I missed it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

There was 0 advertising for this promotion Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've suspected some people with insider's knowledge about BN. Honestly none of the Lego outlets saw this coming until it was too late. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
1980-Something-Space-Guy Posted October 17, 2018 I've read a comment on Brickset from someone who claimed to have spoken with a BN manager who said they had received a message from corporate saying they shouldn't have even sold these and that they'll be part of a promotion in the future. On TheBrickFan someone claimed to have read somewhere that these will be a GWP in November so that would be consistent with that. So don't buy on eBay just yet, US folks!

Cheesey Posted October 17, 2018 I've got good news for the Americans - I just returned from my local Barnes and Noble and spoke to the manager regarding the Bricktober pack. He confirmed for me that it IS a gift with purchase for purchases over $75 starting November 17th. It would appear that any prior sales were either not supposed to happen, or some sort of "test" to see how high they price point could be for the free gift.

I called stores a few minutes ago in Ft. Myers Florida and Chicago Illinois (I travel for work). Both gave the same info - November 17th street date, purchase over $75.

DarthR2-D2 Posted October 17, 2018 Is that in stores only or online as well? I have a local Barnes and Noble but they never had any Kessel Mine Worker polybags during the promotion (that may still be going on). Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legomaster34 Posted October 18, 2018 Oh that's fantastic! I literally just made an offer on one on eBay too, so now I'll just retract that and wait patiently. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DocStrange Posted October 18, 2018 am i the only one who has a problem at spending $75 at Barnes and Nobles? The one near me never has anything that is good plus it usually costs more there than anywhere else. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You just have to wait for the prices to drop as these are gradually released. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
