It’s free with $75+ Lego purchases and employees here told me that every store will only be getting 8 packs. 8 packs, really? I hope someone is mistaken, as these were produced for Toys R Us, which had well over double the retail locations of Barnes and Noble. Maybe 8 after they squirrel away the rest to scalp on their lunch break. Only having just over 5K of these to go around would be some Mr. Gold levels of trolling on LEGO's part. It's only the most popular children's franchise of the last twenty years. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It's only the most popular children's franchise of the last twenty years. That’s what I was told about a month ago at my local store. I’m out of town right now but was able to get to a Barnes and Noble about 30 minutes after they opened, and when I was checking out it looked like I had gotten the second to last set in the store.

Balrogofmorgoth Posted November 17, 2018 My brother and I got to Barnes and Noble right when they opened and got a Bricktober pack each, they had at least a whole case, definitely more than 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The clerk said that there was only a single box/container and had it behind the counter. It looked like the box could hold 12, possibly as high as 16 individual sets.

spiderfan2000 Posted November 17, 2018 I went to Barnes and Noble right when it opened and was able to get a minifigure pack by buying the Hogwarts Express. The employee I asked about the promotion didn't know about it at first and I had to show him the sign that was placed in the LEGO section for him to confirm that such a promotion existed. But regardless, I now have the pack, and can spend the day building my new Hogwarts Express! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Legomaster34 Posted November 17, 2018 I went almost three hours after opening, and they still had quite a few packs left behind the counter. It looked like two cases, one still looked sealed and mine looked to be the third or fourth out of the other. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The_Chosen_1 Posted November 17, 2018 I was able to snag the promo at my local store at opening. I was told they had 20 minifigure sets at that location. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tman684 Posted November 17, 2018 (edited) My Barnes & Noble had four cases behind the counter at 9am. So way more than 8 packs! Edited November 17, 2018 by tman684 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Balrogofmorgoth Posted November 19, 2018 I was really hoping for a January wave, even a small one, but seeing as the catalog has leaked, and there’s no wizarding world content anywhere to be seen, it’s not looking very likely. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Oh well. At least we'll be able to get our budgets sorted. Either way, it means that whatever we get in 2019 will be all the more magical for it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm in the UK also... I made the decision a month or two ago to bite the bullet and buy a few packs on Bricklink for Europe (cost me about 50 euro each including postage. Was able to keep one and sell the others to allow a few others to get them at a cheaper price than the scalpers on eBay. I would do it again as I do not believe that they will ever become available in the UK. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Balrogofmorgoth Posted November 19, 2018 I hope some 2019 information becomes available soon now that all the 2018 promos are over. I’ve given up hope for anything in January, but hopefully some info for next year starts leaking Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Not always, they can jump about a bit, often sets can be delayed or take longer to be released (Betrayal on Cloud city is a good example of this, it was several numbers behind many previously released sets).

Honestly though I don't mind a small wave as long as we get Diagon Alley and a Lockhart. Those two are essential to me everything else is extra.
