Super Heroes and Speed Champions found in Asda
Posted by Huw,Joefish has sent us this image of Speed Champions and Super Heroes March releases taken in his local branch of Asda, in Hampshire.
It seems they are becoming more widespread now although we've also heard that Smyths has them in the stockroom but won't be putting them on the shelves until March 1st.
CapnRex101 has been able to acquire some of them so expect reviews to begin in the next few days.

In the USA, the grocery chain HEB has started carrying these as well as the new Superheroes and Star Wars sets.
I found all the new Speed Champion and various other new sets in my local independent (Toymaster) shop today. Quite surprised to see them in there before seeing them anywhere else.
Picked up the CIVIL WAR sets in Toys UK today.
Picked up two of the three CIVIL WAR sets at a local Walmart today - the Airport set and the Black Panther Pursuit set. Can't wait to build the "Giant Man" version of Ant-man!
Speed Champs for sale in Smyth's Colchester today. Saw them while picking up a Batman Tumbler
I know its in march, but what is the official release day for the superheroes stuff?
March 1st. A local Target told me they had them but had a hard street date of March 1st.
Picked up 1 of the 75873-1 Audi R8 LMS Ultra Speed Champion sets in Toys-R-Us Poole, UK on Saturday 20-02-16, but none of the other sets were on shelves. Had no shelf label, so guess it was put out by mistake or just to fill space.
I'm a little worried about the Speed Champions sets. They're not listed in the 2016 Australian catalogue that came out a couple of months ago, I can't find them on Lego.com, and I know the last few years there have been collections of sets that just haven't ever showed up in Australia. But last year, I *loved* the Speed Champions cars, and I really like these ones too.
A local Lego store (we have three regionally) already has out all the Mighty Micros. Picked up the Flash, Hulk, and Spidey sets today, and they are even better than expected.
All of the Speed Champions sets are available through the US Toys R'Us site. I was able to order a the Chevrolet Drag Race set 75874 set and the new Spider droid set.
Also the Lego store at Chelsea in NY put out the entire Mighty Micro sets on their shelves on Monday way ahead of the March 1st release. I picked up all but the Hulk vs Ultron set.
My local Walmart has all the Ninjago, Elves and Minecraft sets(Minus Iron Golem) and most of the Civil War sets,
What a nice looking spread!
Dutch webshops are already selling them as of yesterday!
Saw many of the new Speed Champions sets at Toys R Us in Indianapolis, IN. Looking forward to picking these up during the double points promo in March at LEGO Store.
On the subject of March sets showing up early, I have seen all of the new Minecraft sets at a local Barnes and Noble.
I can confirm that in the Netherlands these sets are available at retail shops like Intertoys.
Nothing as yet in The Entertainer in Brighton or Tesco in hove although i did find 40121 for £6 from easter 2015 off to Toys R Us i go!!
Hmm, the boxes all the new stuff arrives in have clearly labelled 'NOT TO BE SOLD UNTIL MARCH 1ST' or something like that. I should know, I priced them up at Smyths Cribbs Causeway, Bristol...Lego's Compliance Offices are just around the corner from us so they come down heavy on any derivation of what they want done...essentially, other places are breaking the embargoed statute Lego have placed on certain new stocks...either that or weekend staff simply shove it all out as its a delivery of new items...without reading the label on the packing boxes...However, you won't see any new items from these ranges until March 1st at any Smyths stores as its a worldwide embargo until Lego tell us otherwise...I shall be buying two of the new Batman vs Superman sets I've priced up when they are released.
Local Target has all Ninjago, Civil War, and Mighty Micros (Redmond, WA)
Saw all the new Speed Champion sets in Smyths Bournemouth, UK today. Looking on the Smyths website, the stores that have them out early also have them available via their click and collect service, so a handy way of checking if you can grab them without leaving home.
Also available in Belgium: Dreamland
Also new Ninjago and all the new super heroes sets
A few of the sets can be ordered at Asda direct and you will get a £10 discount
