A $10 "battle pack" based on the original space theme?! Four figures, with one being a new color?! Two vehicles and a classic space robot?! Sign me up! With the new Lego Movie 2 sets beginning to hit the shelves over the past couple of weeks, one thing I've noticed is that I've only seen this particular set at Target. I've come across all of the other new sets from this theme at Wal-Mart, Meijer, and in my local Shopko stores, but none of them have had this set. Only Target. Checking Brickset, it's not listed as a retail exclusive. A quick Walmart inventory search on br******k shows it as "out of stock" in every store, while searching Target it is in stock at every single one of them. Was Target granted early access to this set before other retailers? Is it truly a store exclusive? Can anyone provide some inside information on this? Whatever the case, this set is sure to be popular due to the nostalgia, price point, and value. I've picked up a few from my two local Target stores just to be safe. Once the movie hits theaters and people start looking for the sets this one should be in high demand. I'm debating on stockpiling a few more but there surely will be a flood of these hitting other stores at some point, right? Right?! SPACESHIP!!!
