Art Vandelay Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Just checked my walmart. Wasn't there, but man was I excited for the few seconds it took for me to get to the lego aisle. Thought: for fun, perhaps we should make a world map, and put markers for all the places they have been seen? there's gotta be a web utility for that... I like that idea. https://www.zeemaps.com/map?group=1242634 Never used this service before, so I'm not sure if I did it right.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Why is there a marker in Antarctica? That must be where Lego is hiding the majority of the Bionicle sets until January 1st. If anyone has a large boat, we can all board it and go there together to get the sets! Anyways, I'm probably going Christmas shopping in the next two days, which would include me checking my local Target and Walmart. I'll report back if I see anything Bionicle related at either of them. 2 Quote Everyone is one choice away from being the bad guy in another person's story.

Bfahome Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 Keep in mind that "BIONICLE in stock" could mean a variety of things to a variety of employees. It could mean there are BIONICLE sets burning up the shelves, it could mean that there are boxes of BIONICLE sets in the back waiting for January 1, it could mean that the person you're talking to lumps any large humanoid constraction figure under the "BIONICLE" umbrella. Chances are that most places won't have them available yet, but there are always a handful of early sightings. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brikkyy13 Posted December 14, 2014 Share Posted December 14, 2014 I haven't seen any of the new sets in any of my local stores, but there has been some clearence on some of the shelves in those stores. I've also noticed that Target and Toys-R-Us Australia are having a sale of 20% off on Lego sets, which could lead to bigger clearences and the placements of the new Bionicle sets on shelves.I must have tried calling 15 stores yesterday. Target won't get them because it "doesn't sell well." I can confirm that Mr. Toys Toyworld will get them though.

Galvatron Nuva Posted December 15, 2014 Share Posted December 15, 2014 Went to Target today, nothing. No spots or anything, but it was super busy and couldn't find anyone to ask. Walmart, the only employee in the Toy Department didn't understand what "Bionicle was" and insisted to direct me to Mega Bloks. Finally, at TRU, the employee told me the line ended ears ago (had to explain the relaunch), then she admitted several other customers have asked her about when they will get Bio in, today, as well.

It wasn't too long ago that Target Australia discontinued selling Grand Theft Auto 5 because of reasons I don't feel are necessary to mention. If they're aren't going to be at Target because they didn't sell well there, then let that be a reminder to fans that plenty of retailers would be doing the same thing had Lego shipped the new line out while the previous generation of sets suffered from poor sales by not being cancelled quick enough.
