chinchy Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 FYI I don't think this is a Meijer exclusive anymore. I was surprised to find it at my local Target, since all they've had recently are the Police helicopters... But now I have one, for no other reason than an impulse buy...

ISO8T0 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Confirmed. Picked up imperial shuttles at Target as well. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Brickpicker mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
minicoopers11 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Has anyone seen this in the wild yet, if so where? Thanks Target Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alpinemaps Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Surprisingly, these are all over Targets in SoCal. I've only seen the Tumbler in one, but these are in every Target I go into. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MartinP Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I haven't seen any in local Targets in my area yet. There are loads of Tumblers and Police Helicopters, but no Imperial Shuttles. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm...maybe we should just arrange a swap. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darth_Raichu Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I only saw them once at only 1 Target and grabbed a few. I never saw them "in the wild" since then Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ISO8T0 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Im started to think that Target gets these polys months before they hit the shelves. Sent from my SCH-I545 using Brickpicker mobile app Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donliu Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 I saw them at some target. I picked up one for personal use. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sent from my SCH-I545 using Brickpicker mobile app No surprise, since at my target they price them at $4.69 they couldn't seem to move the galaxy squad poly bag, nor Ewar's Acro Fighter, nor the Tumbler, and now the Police helicopter... I don't know why they don't discount them if they don't sell.... Maybe it's because they all scan as the same product, I don't know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know why they don't discount them if they don't sell.... Maybe it's because they all scan as the same product, I don't know. Targets in Chicago have them all sitting around at 4.69. Kind of a crazy price for a polybag with no minifig Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jeff_14 Posted August 6, 2014 Share Posted August 6, 2014 Legoland Discovery Centre in Toronto has them Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheOrcKing Posted August 7, 2014 Share Posted August 7, 2014 Mine doesn't have these yet but then again they never received any of The Lego Movie Police Enforcer polybag either plus they still have tons of Tumblers to get rid of first.I don't know why anyone would want this set over the brickmaster one.That one truly is the best fullest version made despite being the older one.

Achilles Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 So, should we be scooping these up when we see them? I've only seen them at one Target, they don't seem to be avail online from anyone other than resellers... Are they going to be more or less rare?

I've only seen them at one Target, they don't seem to be avail online from anyone other than resellers... Are they going to be more or less rare? I would probably pick up a few just in case that they're rare. I'm not sure about flipping them right now. They have sold for anywhere between $3 and $10.

Achilles Posted August 14, 2014 Share Posted August 14, 2014 Yea, I agree, I wouldn't flip right now. I just wonder if even for a $4 polybag there's a chance these hit $15/$20 at some point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe if Target is the only store that carries them. If/when the polybag is found at another retailer, the chances of it hitting $15/$20 is gone.

cladner Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 snagged 20 of these at target yesterday so there may be some left in the wild. $3.79 after red card. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The problem is if they aren't bought widely enough at retail, then they will eventually be heavily discounted. Source: have bought multitudes of <$1 polybags at target.

sroster Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 Pretty sure I saw these at legoloand florida when I was there, not that it adds a major chain retailer in the mix but maybe they are at all of the discovery centers? I'll have to check the chicago one next time I'm there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Source: have bought multitudes of <$1 polybags at target. Those were probably seasonal polys though, these are the retail ones that appear next to the register. I've never seen those ones clearanced, not even one from 2009 that I found a few months back or the 2011 Harry Potter Lab that popped up in a bunch of targets last year. Yea, I agree, I wouldn't flip right now. I just wonder if even for a $4 polybag there's a chance these hit $15/$20 at some point. Are there widely available retail polybags without a minifigure that reach $20? Even on Amazon I don't see any. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stephen_rockefeller Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 There is zero chance of this hitting 20.....the brickmaster shuttle which is superior to this one isn't even at 20. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
teamhappyfrog Posted August 20, 2014 Share Posted August 20, 2014 These were at Meijer and were discounted to .50 after easter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
