Saw a flat of Lego at my TRU today and looks like the Bricktober sets are similar to last year's.

Sorry if this is already posted, couldn't find anything on my phone.

Are these for purchase or freebies over $x?

If it's like last year it will be both.

I'm steering clear of investing in these but I'd really like to have a complete set of these to go with my set from last year.

The tru I went to last year in canada wouldn't sell it. Had to be with$ x purchase.

And that's why it's sat on the shelf since then.  lol

Well, the TRU I was at today *still* has some of last year's out on the shelf, and they are still $20.

I was just thinking about these today and what they would be doing. 

Goes well with Clearance items that I need.  Makes it a little easier to buy stuff when a $20 set is kicked in.

These are pretty cool. Will this cause a sudden interest in the 1st series from last year?

Those were pretty much a surprise dud last year. There are still several on the shelf at our very busy local TRU. Little to no interest in these.

I think the market for these at premium rates are mostly for international customers.  Domestically, folks may know they have some time to fill their collection.

These don't do a lot for me personally but the TRU store is cool. I will probably try to flip a few like I did last year if I can find something else worth buying. My TRU would not sell them directly.

If only the hotel had a helicopter instead of a plane....

The train station is my favorite.

I think I like the hotel best.

My wife works at a bakery (she's front office type). I may have get an extra bakery so she can have one for work.

I wonder if anybody has ever contemplated designing full-scale modular houses based on these Bricktober mini-modulars?

My TRU still has all of last years sets.

So, is flipping TRU in the TRU parking lot permitted?

Man, I would love to see that.

Well, there's a Bakery this time around...

Did the sets from last year do anything to make investing in these worth the effort?

Decide for yourself:

I take it that Week 1 for US isn't Sept 18-24 as I haven't heard much of anything yet.

10/1

No, but the thought process for many back then was that if they released a second series that the first series would be in higher demand. We shall see.

Bricktober = October

10/4

I'm just asking because of the pic w/ the dates above said Week 1 (Sept 18-24). I couldn't remember last year if it actually started 10/1, the week of 10/1 (9/27 in this case), or the first full week of October, which would be 10/4 like Pseudoty mentioned. I don't belong here if I don't at least know Bricktober = October. Gimme some credit, man! Ha

I also hope my TRU learns how to open a box this year. Most of my sets from last year are sliced on one side
