The UK’s Sun Newspaper exclusive 30161 MINI Batmobile is now available in the US at Target stores in their seasonal section sold as a stocking stuffer. Price is $3.99 for 45 parts.
Thanks to ninnymuggins for the heads up.
Brickset posted this pic and reported on this a couple of days ago and it’s been popping up in our contact feed and the FBTB chatroom, so it’s time to finally pay attention I suppose. I’ll just say that I’m extremely jealous at how cheap and easy it is to get these sets in the UK when The Sun just gives them away with purchase, but I do find it amusing when folks say they just put the papers back on the rack after paying for them. Take that newspaper I know nothing about! The giveaways apparently start on May 19th and run daily through the 27th and includes these great little sets. I haven’t seen any concrete info on where to get them, but they’ve been available from TRU and WH Smith in the past so those are the likely venues.
Thanks to the masses for the heads up, if you hear any relative details please share in the comments!
After forum member Diaaabo posted pictures of two more Star Wars Polybags, I popped over to check out the new sets Ace posted were available for pre-order and to download some instructions on the S@H site and discovered these two new polys. I have no information on how easy these will be to get or when they will be available, but I have a suspicion that the Batmobile set will be similar to the Hogwart’s Express mini. Could be easier/cheaper to get, but we’ll just have to wait and see at this point. I can’t wait either way and since I have the instructions already, I plan on building a couple of these tomorrow to compliment my son’s new Cars sets. That design is really great!
