Hey Buzz, have seen any lego technic osprey at any of the Target's? 

Not at all... those never made the shelf and were bought up by employees or people who were quicker than I was.  I checked last night as well in my 8 Target Trip Adventure. 

I did almost buy a lego set or two... but I held off until Lego offers a promo I like or there are double points OR it is heavily discounted on Amazon. 

I actually might pick up a Harry Potter set or two, I like the Moon Rover Creator set, the Star Wars Galaxy Freighter, and the Ahsoka set is also on my radar.  The Ahsoka set is a definite pick up as soon as... well again... promo or points or discount.  She will be available for at least a year.

Lego has some incredible 'gift with purchase' sets coming down the pipeline

 

[Buzzetta]

This set seems like a fun build to me.  Currently offered at $39.99 I could easily see Amazon knocking it down to $29.99-$32.99 sometime before Christmas especially since it is not a licensed property set.

Anyone make the trip to Target today to see if there were any Galaxy's edge toys on the shelves?

I saw the display when I was picking up a cobra trooper. They had a few DJ Rx, That red figure, and a few stuffed animals. Some old lady came and bought all the figures

I keep glancing for this on Joe hunts. By any chance do you have the DPCI?

What's a DPCI ?

It's like a UPC that tracks inventory for the store.  Stands for Department Class Item.  You can use a site like this to help track down items in store: https://brickseek.com/target-inventory-checker/

I didn’t have any luck finding it there

A few new Joe items I was able to complete over the weekend. The PAC rats actually took a couple years to come across all the pieces in lots. I’m glad I didn’t just get rid of the odds & ends initially. I only had to buy one piece online for $2.... I still need the remotes though, but I can live without them.

Instructions for the Osprey in case anyone wants to build their own.

I can't believe you actually find Joes in the stores! I doubt I will ever see those, just like I never saw any of the SW retro figures they put out....

I might pick up Dj Rex, but I'm not as attached to him as Sonny Ecipse at Cosmic Ray's!

I struck out at one Target this morning but found a couple more Baronesses at another store on my break. It's not easy. Typically you have to check up until 10 am

got it. I usually go in the afternoons or evenings.

I love the artwork on the Baroness with the motorcycle toy packaging, looks like a Nagel print!

Big big heads up... 

If you have the Legacy Falcon ... there is even more of a reason to pass up the Galaxy's Edge version.

Those orange containers do not come with the Falcon... they are for the box art only.   

So the only difference are a dirtier wash, radar dish, porgs and Hondo Ohnoka... and again Hondo is available on a card in December. 

Here is the link in case you want to order one anyway or do not have a Legacy version.   They are back up and available to ship.

Falcon escape pod. 

Ship was released part of the Legacy / Vintage Collection back in 2010... it's a monstrosity... it's a must have.

I will have to check it out, but when did the Falcon have an escape pod?

Always had them

In Episode 4 when the ship is brought in on the tractor beams they even remark that the ship's logs show that they used the escape pods.

Rey also uses one in Episode 8 to make her way to Kylo Ren.

Lego started shipping the Mandalorian set...    Saw that they billed me for it.

I’m wanting to get that one, I also want the UCS Millennium Falcon, which is rumored to be retiring at the end of this year, but my bronze horror mag sales thread is not doing so hot.
