July 28, 201312 yr At the local mall with wife/mom shopping for clothes today...decided to take my almost 4yr old son to TRU just to look around. Give mommy free space and looking at toys is way better than carrying bags/tagging along Thought might as well ask a cashier if they still have those Robin red cycle polybags. They lady checked and said yes we do have one left Perfect...I told her to save that for me and I will be right back with a Super Heroes purchase. She said any single purchase will do (before there was a min $30 purchase) and also handed a free Elrond polybag to my son! Cap America Cycle cost me a whopping $20.33 including taxes but got Robin Red Cycle and Elrond polybags free. I like the prices I'm seeing for Robin on ebay. Got my son a treat at Diary Queen for his help haha. *there were only 2 beat up Catwoman boxes left...but like 20 boxes of Cap Am?! I thought it would be the other way around.

I really want one of those Red Robin polys. When they first came out I saw a few on eBay for around $12-$15 US and passed figuring they'd go much lower. I may ending up kicking myself really hard about that, as I already own every other Super Heroes poly there is and definately need this one for the collection. Also, I'm quite jealous of the Cap Cycle find. I did not get nearly as many of these as I had wanted before they went bye-bye (I only have 5 ). I haven't seen one in any of the 15-20 stores that I frequent to buy LEGO in over a month. They just disappeared. Waiting around for discounts left me empty handed from online avenues too. Oh, the regret! I can still get them from TRU.com I think, but at $15 US, and a limit of two per customer. Also, no free shipping and tax. Boo.
July 28, 201312 yr I wish I had a secret stash of Robin polys...nice find! It reminds me I should take a gander to the local TRU tomorrow...
July 28, 201312 yr yeah, you never know if they might have a few left...worth the check. Obviously if we could of predicted this nice increase in value we would have cleared out stocked on day 1. I remember stock was just sitting there for couple weeks after the promo...opportunity was ripe for savvy investors.
July 28, 201312 yr WOW! I had no idea these had increased so much. What all is inside? Anything special--is the Robin different from all the other ones currently available?
July 29, 201312 yr I actually don't know...was going to do some research if the robin variation is unique...i assume you can part out the cycle but collectors just want the original poly/set. For my sake I hope this robin doesn

Capt America $20! thats ridiculous.
July 29, 201312 yr Anything special--is the Robin different from all the other ones currently available?He appears to be the same Robin from The Batcave and Dynamic Duo Funhouse Escape. I don't know about the rest of the included pieces if they are hard to find in those colors.
