ahhh.... so pretty much a UK only release? Hmmm.... so I'm gonna say, (in USA) not common, but not rare either... I'm happy with the flip.

For you central Floridians, there's plenty more at Legoland.

And answering your question: the average sales price on BL is ~$16 per poly, so you could have asked for more .... still, not bad making ~$100 on 11 polys. (https://alpha.bricklink.com/pages/clone/catalogitem.page?S=5002122-1#T=P)

Also... what's up with these wild animal polybags?  Parrot, Tiger, Reindeer... is this the start of a new series of animal polybags? ... or has this been done before?  Is this a ground floor opportunity to store away a few of the first of the series?

Looking for info on 5002122 Star Wars TC-4... is this old? New? Rare? Common? Can't find it in the blog list.

I just bought a dozen and Legoland FL ($3.99 ea) opened one and and flipped the rest for $151.  Smart? ... or dumb?

There's a discussion topic in the Star Wars forum for this poly.  It's not on the current polybags list, because it hasn't been spotted in the retail wild since 2014, I think?

I'll add it back on there.  How long ago did you find it there?

2 weeks ago. .. they had hundreds.

I have to ask, would you be willing to pick up a few for me? I am nowhere near Florida and never saw these when they were out before.

[Alpinemaps]

Hundreds...ugh.  Why didn't LL California get these?

Not Kens fault you weren't paying attention.

Was that inspired by Monty Python?

I guess it would need to be a cow instead of a translucent dot.

Earlier you said it's not Ken's fault I missed it. I thought you were talking to me, because I said LEGOLAND. Now I realize you might have been talking to someone else. Lol

[ISO8T0]

Yes I was referring to the fact that Ken had posted the ones he picked up at LL FL on BC.

I read where you said LL CA didn't have any. I'm sure you'll let us know when they come in stock. ;-)

Pro'ly not cheap enough for BP'ers... on BC I had the 5 pc lot for $64 (can't remember the 6 pc lot).  No takers, so the next day I put them on eBay 5 for $69, and 6 for $82... both sold within a couple more days.

Does anyone else find the Lego US Shop at Home freebies less than desirable the last two months?  I understand TLG's interest in free polybags for promoting a new theme, but other than for parts, I'd prefer the Chima Worriz Fire Bike.  Kids may think differently though.

This poly looks terrible.  Looks like something I would make when I was in kindergarten.

The newest list of polybag availability was posted up to the blog yesterday.
