When a Momma LEGO Dimension and a Daddy LEGO Dimension love each other very much, they give each other a very special hug. Then a stork puts the baby LEGO Dimension into the Momma LEGO Dimension tummy, so the Momma LEGO Dimension can start to love the Baby LEGO Dimension.

Lego hardly had any dimensions stock on SAH or B&M throughout the entire run. 99 store was in the right place at the right time. Like, how did wb make the Lego pieces? Just because the Lego store didn't have them doesn't mean Lego didn't produce or distribute them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LEGO hardly having stock has nothing to do with whether LEGO produced them or not. I'm pretty sure, going out on a limb here, that LEGO produces LEGO pieces. That said, maybe LEGO provided these to another company to DISTRIBUTE... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoroakenfelder Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I remember back about 2000 or 2001 that Hasbro decided to clear a bunch of older Star Wars stuff out of their warehouses and sold all that stock to Toys R Us who sold all those toys for really cheap. They were selling exclusives from the fanclub and all sorts of stuff that had never been intended for them originally. Sometimes these companies do blow out stuff that didn't sell.

Mos_Eisley Posted February 13, 2018 Share Posted February 13, 2018 I'm 97.5% sure these are from WB. They are definitely coming from the LA area. I'm sure part of the licensing agreement for Dimensions was that WB would get a bunch of the sets. One day someone was standing in the warehouse and wondered wtf are we going to do with all these? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donbee Posted February 14, 2018 Share Posted February 14, 2018 Does WB have a store? Maybe 6 Flags? I’m leaning more towards Microsoft. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

legodelorean Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Has anyone seen anything new come out? I’ve only see ET, Powerpuff Girls, Slimer, Doc Brown, and Hermione.

I wouldn’t buy any of those for $1.99. I’ve also come across a bunch of Unikitty that I didn’t bother buying. Now that I think of it, I’ve seen Nya, and Master Wu as well.

buidee Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I found lots of knight riders and green powerpuff girls today along with some hermoine but left the unikitty, chases, sensei wu It’s a hit and miss at some stores, either they didn’t have them or it was cleared out by others, that cart was not mine, the store was too lazy to put them out for display Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
superheat Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Has anyone seen anything new come out? I’ve only see ET, Powerpuff Girls, Slimer, Doc Brown, and Hermione. Has anyone seen Knight Rider, A-Team, or Excalibur Batman, Goonies, etc.? I picked up 24 knight rider at the Bellflower store. They were in the back store room buried under a recent shipment of stuff. The lady had to dive in to pull them out. Only saw KR and PPG in the shipment, there could have been others but they were buried deep. I went back today thinking they would be in the floor and there was nothing but stale unikitty. I asked an employee if they had more in the back and she looked like I was speaking a foriegn language. Complete opposite of the nice lady who helped me the day before. I went to Downey and they had nothing but Unikitty. Same uncaring employees there too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Then there are others that are super nice and go out of their way to help you out. Those are the people that I try to get to know, ask them their first name, and shake their hand. It’s amazing how far being courteous can get you. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoroakenfelder Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I found a bunch of Hermiones this morning, I grabbed the 4 slimers that were there as well as a handful of powerpuff team packs. I'd like to get some of the stuff I haven't seen yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to find some Buttercups to go with all the Bubbles and Blossoms I got. Somebody bought a ton of ETs near me since Monday. I only got some. I wonder if rampant 80's Nostalgia was not the way to go for the gold discs. Knight Rider, A-Team, ET, Gremlins, Goonies, were those the characters that Dimensions players were really clamoring for? Were those just the older licenses that were cheap enough to splurge on? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question. I am wondering the same thing. I think those are all awesome, but I’m not sure someone in their twenties will feel the same. I have a bunch of ET’s and have only sold one. I’ve sold a bunch of Powerpuff Girls, so it does make me think twice about stocking up too heavily on some of the 80’s sets. I might not be so hesitant if the packs were only $0.99 and not $1.99. That extra buck makes a heck of a difference. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoroakenfelder Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I found an endcap full of both Powerpuff Girl sets and Knight Riders at my 5th 99 Cents Only. I added some additional team packs so I could make bundles. Glad I found the Buttercups. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ThRok Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 JUST A QUICK UPDATE: A total of 213 Dimensions sets have shipped out, and brickpickers have so far donated a combined $235 to the St. Paul Fundraiser in connection with their purchase. Thanks to those of you who donated more than a $1 per set, or added the difference in shipping cost to your donation. WHAT NOW? As of Tuesday, 99 cent stores in my area were wiped out, but I'll keep checking and post what I find. So continue to PM me if more of you are interested. It's helpful if you list sets and quantities, rather than saying "let me know what you have" cause then I can estimate and decide whether to arm sweep what I find. P.S.1 I currently have 19 unikitties remaining, so if anyone is interested in these let me know. P.S.2 For those of you whose orders are en route, please let me know when you receive your orders, thanks! 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thoroakenfelder Posted February 21, 2018 Share Posted February 21, 2018 I should have got more ET. I'm finding plenty of the other new ones I found, except ET. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
