Does this apply for Canada as well?

[Shijima]

It did last year, Unfortionatly for me however my TRU never got the 3rd one, so Im missing out on the fireman.

I posted this in the 'Potential Bricktober Leaks' thread yesterday.

These look great.

The more important question is, what are the sales!

[itztitoyo]

Are these magnets only available at TRU or will legostores also receive them?

TRU only

my thoughts exactly!

Agreed!

[SpaceNinjaDino]

Are these figures going to be super glued or do they only do that to the licensed theme magnets?
I love the Forestman, the classic castle soldier, and the classic space man. How can I resist 10 each of them? (If they are unglued.)

I'm sure one of the sale weeks will be Buy 2 Get 1 Free.

The sales were pretty weak last year if I remember correctly, and last year they were not glued. Hard to say what lego will do this year, but I have a feeling(and a hope) they wont be glued.

That's good to know. At least there's some hope they won't be glued.

But I'm of the opposite opinion. I think they will probably be glued, because in the past year, TLG has started gluing together all the keychains and magnets. We shall see.

[Shijima]

The only reason I think they might not be is because they come in a polybag as opposed to a plastic package.

[Luciant]

What kind of sales did they offer last year so we can get an Idea of what we're looking for this time... and to avoid buying certain sets now....

[Edmond Dantes]

And they were also disassembled, weren't they?

[pumbaugh]

If I remember correctly they started out with a good sale, say bogo 50% but excluded certain themes. Then it just went to certain sets discounted every other week. I was underwhelmed by the sales as I only got one of the 4 bricktober magnets last year....I'm a sucker for minifigs and polybags so if I only have one the sales must have been mostly city/hero factory/ninjago stuff that I dont have much interest in lol.

They probably have different sales in different countries, but the sales in Canada were quite good last year (for Canada). There were tiered 15/20/25% off sales on Creator and Kingdoms, 20% off Technic, and some others. Those sales are why I haven't bought any of the 2011 Creator (yellow box) or Technic (except Supercar and Unimog) sets. Even if I could get a better deal than 25% off Canadian MSRP, I need some Bricktober minifig ammunition!

I can't believe they're glued!!!

[Shijima]

Ya, pretty lame.
