YMMV on those Batman polybags...my TRU got 50 in yesterday, and all but a few were sold out by the time I got there around 5pm. :(

None left on the shelf at TRU in Gaithersburg, MD. An associated said they had 24 more in inventory, but that they were being held for someone.

24 being held for one person?!? Sadness.
This just came out and may already have to buy it aftermarket?

I apologize if I left you guys with the wrong impression. The TRU associate did not say anything, directly or indirectly, about how many buyers reserved the 24 Batman poly bags. So it could be more than one. I doubt it is 24. It would also make me feel better if there were at least 5 or 6 buyers.

Eh, I decided to bite the bullet and just order them online to avoid having to hit a small window at TRU B&M. Max of 5... get the free $6.99 set. Add the Heroica set for $27.99 ($34.99 TruSRP / $29.99 MSRP), and get the free sunblock game, putting you right over the $100 free shipping mark.
I have mixed feelings about new releases: I can't wait to see and get the new sets... but I can't figure out where I'm gonna put them or store them.

The TRU in Fremont, CA has 30+ of each polybag. All 3 are in different sections of the store.

TRU Batman Jetski Polybag

Post by markerpk » Sat Apr 21, 2012 5:07 pm

TRU has some Batman Jetski polybags. They were $4.99 each at my TRU. I picked up six, 4 for presents and 2 for me. It's a greay way to get the black suit Batman minifig and comes complete with a cape, too!

The TRU in Ventura, CA had the new Batman, Friends and City polybags in stock this morning, along with several boxes of the new Series 7 minifigs.

FYI I merged your topic from sales and deals to this existing one in Availability.

For those around Sacramento, CA: Arden has both the Batman & Skateboarder. They also had the City racer. I called Citrus Heights, but they only had the skateboarder, no Batman, forgot to ask about City racer. Don't know about Roseville or Elk Grove.

Any one in the South East finding any of the new polybags at TRU B/M?

So far I only see mostly west coast and one or two mid west posting finds.

Thanks....

If any of you are unable to find the Batman polybag, I'm happy to check my TRU again and ship them for cost plus shipping, which should be pretty cheap since it's such a small set. Just PM me if interested.

TRU at Alpha/DNT in Dallas had all three of these bags in stock today for $4.99... Plenty to go around...

YMMV but if your local TRU is out of the Batman poly try asking for it at the service counter. The employee placed an order from their website with free shipping when I had them check other stores for me the other day.

Has anyone seen these in a TRU in Canada? Will they even make it up here?

I was about to ask the same thing! I checked out a few of the TRU's in my area this past weekend, but nada. I did find more of the Friends polys though, so it wasn't a complete waste of time lol

Picked one up at the Eugene, OR location, they had a bunch.

I have a question though about the batman minifig, the one I got when you put the batman mask on all the way down the eyeholes in the mask go lower than the white and the part above the mouth, partially covers the mouth. It is especially apparent with the smirk side of the face. Anyone else notice this?

South San Jose TRU at Almaden had two boxes of these today being kept behind the customer service desk and you have to ask for them they aren't visable. I called around and had the stores check the item number (Item #: 789510) to confirm before I went.

I picked up 8 now from my local TRU, opened two of them and neither of them had this problem. Looks like a bad part/batch. If you can, I would try to exchange it for another or contact TLG for a replacement.
