bioniclepluslotr Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 If you go into the back room of most department stores, you can find these boxes marked LEGO and usually a sticker that says Bionicle and you know you hit jackpot. Usually the barcodes are already in the computer system, you just need to check them out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kabootops Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Just found Tahu Master of Fire, Kopaka Master of Ice, Protector of Earth, and Protector of Ice at my local Target!

Wazdakka Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 Local TRU (Ridgedale, MN) had a number of Protectors and a thick stack of the Bionicle 2015 teaser pamphlets. I picked up the Protector of Earth. I noticed price tags on the shelf only for the Protectors and when I asked an employee if they had any more than what was displayed, I was told no. In a nutshell, don't discount Toys R Us. Quote Steam Name: Toa Hahli Mahri. Xbox Live Gamertag: Makuta.

bioniclepluslotr Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 My Target only has Kopaka and random protectors at a bottom shelf. It's sad that Bionicle don't even have their own spot on shelves. They're scattered all around the other misc Legos. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aanchir Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 My Target only has Kopaka and random protectors at a bottom shelf. It's sad that Bionicle don't even have their own spot on shelves. They're scattered all around the other misc Legos. I think a certain amount of that can be chalked up to the holiday rush. Store employees are probably more interested in keeping shelves stocked than in keeping them arranged logically right now. Once the holiday rush is over the BIONICLE sets will probably be displayed together, except for maybe a few that get put on an end cap to draw people's attention. 1 Quote Latest MOC: PAIGE (Prototype Artificial Intelligence, Gynoid Expression) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nescent Posted December 24, 2014 Share Posted December 24, 2014 (edited) I have Kopaka and the Protector of Stone! Pics later. My first impression: Bionicle 2015 blows Gen 1 out of the water. Seriously this is like the best 30 dollars I ever spent, I can't wait to pick up Pohatu, Onua, and the Protector of Ice.Use that DCPI checker, it definitely works!Here are my complaints, however: Kopaka's mask is VERY loose. It is hard to turn the head without the mask falling out. That applies to the white mask, and the gold one. The Protector's mask is a bit better, but the Skull Spiders are extremely firm, no problems with them falling out at all. Also, do not expect the Skull Spider legs to wrap around the head. The top ones can on the Protector, but the bottom legs either have to stick out or be removed. Finally: expect Kopaka's shield to be bent when you buy it. Both of the Tahu sword pieces are very bendy, and will likely be bent out of the box. It's no biggie though, and they can easily be bent back into shape. EDIT: Here are the sets, and here are the masks. Edited December 25, 2014 by Dark Blue 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bionicle sets aren't even supposed to be available yet, and those that are have likely been put out just to keep the shelves stocked during this busy shopping season. Many stores I went to today did not yet have the Bionicle sets on shelves, but the shelves themselves looked like they had been ransacked, ESPECIALLY the popular Lego aisle. After the holidays, and especially after Bionicle's actual release on January 1st, you can probably expect to find sections dedicated to Bionicle—probably including dedicated displays for the theme in the biggest retailers.

re:Twilite Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 The only reason the sets would be out on shelves this early is the holiday rush to get sales. Guests come in and see something new and will want to buy it, whether it be a parent buying for their kids, or a kid wanting it. It generates more money to have the sales floor filled and look nice. We got the boxes in on this mornings truck and they are dated for January fourth. That's when I'll be purchasing mine, although I will be checking out Toys'R'Us on Friday after work to see if I get lucky 1 Quote It's all because the internet.

Toa Smoke Monster Posted December 25, 2014 Share Posted December 25, 2014 My local Target in Kemah, Texas after work today and found that it has 2015 Bionicle sets! I found Tahu, Kopaka, Pohatu, Lord of Skull Spiders, and the Protectors of Fire, Earth, Stone and Jungle in the Lego section. I didn't buy any of them yet, simply because I want to see what I get for Christmas first. Hopefully I don't come to regret that decision later.

RichardT1977 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Target in Fayetteville, NC has Tahu, Kopaka, and the Protectors of Fire, Water, Ice, and Earth. Tahu, Kopaka, and one space of Protectors are on an about mid-level shelf opposite the Chima products. The bulk of the Protectors are on a top shelf to the left of the Chima pegs.

If anyone would like to use these codes to check their local Target, go to the Target Inventory Checker, and enter your zip code and one of the DCPI codes.

Brigs Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) Stopped by the local Toys R Us today. To my surprise, the retailer had ALL of the new Bionicle sets in stock, and it was quite a feat to defy my coercive disposition for purchasing the whole lot. I resolved to settle for a Protector of Fire and abate my purchase of the rest, believing it best to savor my expenditures on sets one solitary kit at a time.

Spiffy247 Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 Last night I found the DCPI numbers for the Bionicle sets. So this morning I called Target, and they sadly only had two kinds of the sets. BUT! Luckily they had the two I wanted most! Tahu and Kopaka. So they set them aside for me. I walked in, went to the electronics section, and bought them. Yay! Quote A fish wielding vampire. That's Spiffy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bfahome Posted December 26, 2014 Share Posted December 26, 2014 (edited) DPCI codes are part of Target's system only. Toys R Us may use a system like it, but it's probably called something else, and may not be as public. Also, according to BrickSeek, Tahu is available in Maine at the Augusta and Biddeford Targets, not so much at the Topsham, South Portland, or Bangor stores. I just used Tahu's code as a general check so inventory may vary of course. e: it seems the Protectors are in stock everywhere but South Portland and Bangor. e2: apparently the South Portland store is only stocking Lewa right now Edited December 26, 2014 by Bfahome Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
