Rooster Nui Posted December 18, 2014 Share Posted December 18, 2014 I'm not sure when they're actually coming in my area, but I'm hoping Australia is one of the many places which is meant to have the sets at the back of some stores by January the 1st. Oh we're meant to but just the other day I saw Hive Crawler (which came out Wave 2 last year to my understanding) in a Big W in Brisbane, I think it might have been CLS-89 Eradicator Mech that I saw as well there but I was in a rush so not 100% I need to go & chase up someone who works at a Target &/or a Toys Я Us... But somewhere in this country we should have actually got them on-time ...-ish ...I hope you're in or near a Capital city. I just recieved the Lego magazine which comes with the Australian catalogue. It looks like us Aussies will have to wait until February... EDIT: I think I'll wait to order on AUS Shop@Home, if possible on the 1st of January. So its still the stupid old way we used to have of a month or so later than the US? Yes. However, because it is sold to the majority first, the new line will have more of a chance at selling well, which may lead to having more awesome sets designed, made, produced and purchased. We may also possibly be able to purchase the sets on Shop@Home on January the 1st and get them earlier than we would at our local stores.

If it doesn't happen byNew Year's eve, I am having my brother order some for me on Lego's website at midnight. If it doesn't update them, I will do it in the morning.

Moku Posted December 20, 2014 Share Posted December 20, 2014 Any sightings in the mid-west?I mentioned that I saw the Protector of Earth and Protector of Water at the Target I work at, which is in the midwest. Unfortunately they're gone, but I managed to nab both of them. They had 9 in stock, but 3 on the shelves. I'm assuming that either the last one on the shelf got bought or they realized their mistake. Either way, my local Target probably still has them, just not on shelves yet. Quote BZPRPG Profiles Nekka Banar Moku Savok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll echo what the walrus said, it's great to see all six Toa standing together! I am still incredibly pleased that Onua and Pohatu are the shortest of the six, just as they were traditionally, and that the proportions are so varied in general. I'm not in any particular hurry to get the other three Toa, as I expect they'll be available for a while, and I'd rather focus the rest of my purchasing in the coming week on getting Christmas presents for other people in my family, but I am still looking forward to seeing the sets in stores and possibly getting those I haven't already reviewed.

It'll be a bad sight to see an isle of the new boxes in poor condition, but I guess they shouldn't get damaged too much because they can now hang on the hook/stand things.
