TANV Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 So, it's a shiny sticker? On a box? And that makes it a limited edition? Why do I get the feeling that next week we'll see tons of these without stickers at a cheaper retail price...? 1 Quote

Edited February 5, 2019 by sodoubleoggood Whoops - forgot I was working on a reply response. My apologies! Wanted to chime in with this comment: "What a great improvement from last years' limited run sets! Super stoked to receive these in the mail now!" (I couldnt stand tape in last years) Quote

CosmicSpeed Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) Yeah that sticker is a let down and leaves the door open for potential reprints. (i.e. Available outside of the US without Sticker) Edited February 5, 2019 by CosmicSpeed Quote
CathyVT Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 I wonder if the only reason they haven't sold out yet is because not many people know about them yet. The pictures were first leaked a day or two ago. No announcement was made by TLG - nothing on facebook, Lego website, etc. I think the limited edition old style sets last year were known about and anticipated - Lego and Walmart advertised them ahead of time. 1 Quote
locidm Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 it did make it to thebrickfan.com yesterday. Quote
Belac Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 while lurking around some other sites looking for more info i read sweet mayhem BHZ will be at target. no mention of when . just an answer from some rando. also don't know why they would know. just sharing speculation i guess. havent heard anything else like also limited or anything. nothing on benny yet either Quote
CosmicSpeed Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 (edited) Mayhem and Benny are absent from the back of the boxes, but we know they exist. This is a design style change for the boxes. If Lego themselves aren't going to carry these, I would assume Target gets Benny and Mayhem as exclusives with both of them on the back of the box. Edited February 5, 2019 by CosmicSpeed Quote
CathyVT Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Just now, locidm said: it did make it to thebrickfan.com yesterday. Yeah, and many AFOLs go there and/or otherwise saw it. But that's only 1 day notice, and it didn't (that I recall) say they'd actually be available today (we still don't know when the Benny & Wyldstyle will be available), and thebrickfan.com isn't as widespread compared to if Lego or Walmart had made announcements in their social media feed. Anywho, after doing finances yesterday, I promised myself I wouldn't buy more Lego any time soon, and y'all have made me break my promise... (though I've limited myself to 4 of each) Quote
oneknightr Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 But the sticker says Limited Edition of 5000! Would they really produce more than what the sticker says? Honest question. Quote

Would they really produce more than what the sticker says? Honest question. They only produced 5000 of each sticker. Just like they only produced a "limited" number of Reylo dualpack boxes and a regular amount of solo Reys and Kylos. Edited February 5, 2019 by mizeur 1 Quote
Lordoflego Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 It’s the stickers that are limited to 5k, not the actual sets 2 Quote

Honest question. I think they will honor the stickers for these single packs. However, there is nothing stopping them from creating 20k units of Emmet & Wyldstyle dual pack So, to me at least, it becomes a question of how much do people value 5000 unique stickers ? Quote

iahawks550 Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 They could produce a minutely different set easily for each of these, but as long as THESE are not mass produced as singles, just without a sticker, these will be a nice purchase. Quote
oneknightr Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 This will be interesting to see how they pan out once BP'ers start receiving their orders. Should be an ok QFLL opportunity. 1 Quote

kaczy Posted February 5, 2019 Posted February 5, 2019 Ok so let's assume that the limited 5k of sets will sold out today/tomorrow. Why TLG should refuse to stock those sets to other markets? Or maybe next week in EU region will be another 5k limited edition but with sticker in different colour? Quote

Because they know these may not be hot sellers unless they make a wave with this limited edition BS. 1 Quote
