Chrome Stormtrooper Minifig just in time for Star Wars Weekends

[LEGOscum]

ty for the tip, posted to main page!

I find it odd they didn't name a source though.

No problem.

Yeah, I thought the same thing.

UPDATE: Steve confirmed the news

[LEGOscum]

One of our members at Rebelscum has reported seeing a chrome Stormtrooper magnet at the LEGO store in Chandler, AZ for $10. But this is unconfirmed.

[DGFD]

I can confirm that these are hitting LEGO stores now. I just picked one up at the LEGO store on Michigan Ave. in Chicago for $10. They did not have many left, but they are out there!

[brownie69yov4]

I can second the Chicago one as well- picked up 2x yesterday at the Michigan Ave location yesterday- sort of a fluke, a sales rep was telling me all about the magnets which I already knew about, I said how great they were and thats when he proceeded to tell me about 'great new chrome stormtrooper magnets'- i was so happy to hear they had them so i bought 2, one to take out and one to keep sealed

$10??? Come on!!!

[yankeeken]

Ryan, see what joys patience brings. It leaves you with five extra dollars in your wallet to spend of other LEGO stuff.

[Plo]

errr!!! i have a 15$ gift certificate i was going to get a clone battle pack but maybe if they have it in burlington ill snatch it up

[Plo]

i just called the lego compony about the chrome stormie and the guys exact words were "i could have sworn i saw it earlier"(he said that after he looked on their private database)

[darthlucas07]

just bought 2 from lego.com (US) also avalable in canada. They were just put up on the site this morning!!!

[yankeeken]

Nice! Thanks for the info darthlucas. I was hoping they would be put up online as I didn't want to have to make a drive down to Downtown Disney.

[LEGOscum]

Someone should update the front page to say that the magnet is only available to the US and Canada at the moment.

[bigospedros]

or better still, someone (not necessarily you, btw) should use their contacts at Lego to confirm that it will eventually become available in all countries!

[Andi]

I heard from someone who got it in Legoland Germany.

[bigospedros]

yeah, i've seen rumours of it being at the Brand Stores in the UK too ... but I'd just like some reassurance from Lego that it'll be available everywhere at some point.

Lego is *really* bad at promoting itself and it's products like this

I tried to ask Customer Service and they just said "we can't comment on new products"

[lostone]

is it only going to be avaliable in uk lego store's can anyone confirm this?

and if so anyone got the number of a store in uk that does phone orders and delivers to northern ireland

[LEGOscum]

(not necessarily you, btw)

phew, because I'm on holiday

If customer services are giving you the run around then call the brand stores direct. There are only three of them in the UK.

[bigospedros]

the item is now up on the UK S@H page, but with a "release date" of 30th July. Price is £5.20.

[Solo]

That's rather encouraging, £5.20 is a great price considering how much they were charging down at LEGOland.

[Andi]

Same in Germany with 30th July as release date. The price there is 6.50 Euro.

I hope to get my parcel from Ry soon. This is an even more special Stormie, because it's bought during the SW weekend.

[LEGOscum]

That means the UK price is cheaper than the US one
