The formula looks very good for a polybag!

It looks like the Draco polybag is meant to connect with the system in 76432! And we have a rumored Aragog lair coming later this year, so maybe that will have a modular design as well.

Polybags are still an urban legend here in Brazil. I wonder if they will ever be sold regularly here one day.

In my experience, Scheel's is the place to get them if you have one nearby. That's where I got the Mars rover polybag recently and they had a bunch of other hard-to-find ones as well.

Unless it comes with the portrait tiles (in which case you can peek through the bag to buy a complete set), I can pass on Draco.

LEGOLAND stores often stock them, and I know one person who bought an entire case once.

When a polybag looks more accurate than a big Technic set....

"I'm surprised LEGO still has polybags. Shouldn't they be paper now like the CMF?
"

That would be a nightmare at supermarket checkouts: little 1x1 sized pieces of Lego spilled everywhere.

If you mean *cardboard,* that might be more durable at a checkout. (Even then, I'd expect tampering.)

I'll have to keep an eye out at Walmart, Target or Meijer and if you are in the U.S. check your area BaM's if you have any nearby; they have polybags. I picked up 30679 Venom Street Bike polybag at a new opening store this past Saturday.

Sometimes I've seen polybags in the grocery stores as well...but they are usually overpriced by a couple of bucks there.

Here in The Netherlands we get them at our pharmacies and toystores. Kruidvat and Intertoys usually have a couple, usually 3 euros each.

That McLaren is SWEET! We need all the liveries at this scale, and then a UCS model of Monaco they can all fit on!

I'll grab both when I find em!
I got 5 of the January ones from lego Descovery centre Manchester for £5 each if anyone in the Uk is struggling to find them!

"Love the McLaren. I wonder if this is a hint that we'll be getting a McLaren F1 car in the main SC lineup, since the SC polybags are usually miniature versions of cars available as mainline models.

That Draco polybag would be a useful pickup just for that unusual parts selection."

yup! This year we'll have McLaren and a double pack Aston Martin F1 + Safety Car!!!

This speed champions polybag reignites my desire for a new run of Racers styled/sized F1 cars, hopefully we’ll see an Aston Martin F1 polybag too. I just want to create a miniature track with a complete f1 grid…

They already have a decent amount of licensed brands within F1, Ferrari, McLaren, Mercedes, Aston Martin

In Poland they have been more and more common And even for as cheap as 2$! But for example our lego stores never have polybags!

My Toys-R-Us always has the latest, but recently went up to CAD$6.99 :(

I really need that 30683 McLaren Formula 1 Car polybag! The best Speed Champions polybag set?

Looks like the best mini Speed Champion so far. Shame that the 2023 one never surfaced as a GWP (unlike previous years) so I ended up paying well over RRP for it instead :-(

I might pickup the Harry Potter polybag if I see it on discount. I got last year's polybag for $1.50, and I'll certainly pick it up for that price. Otherwise, I'm not interested because the minifig isn't reusable. I'm only interested in the foliage and owl. It's cool to see the Moon Knight crescents being reused in the SP polybag! Hopefully we see them in pearl dark gray or flat silver at some point.

I wish polybags were available in New Zealand but they are not, except for Lego stores, but both the stores are a long way away so the chances of me getting one are slim.

I find the McLaren to be one of the best looking polybag sets ever. Fortunately the most common chemist/drugstore usually has loads of polybags at low prices. A bit unfair that they're not that readily available to anyone, as mentioned before.

Maybe the toy store owners can answer this question: is it because the margins on them are not very good that many stores choose not to sell them?

The 30677 Draco in the Forbidden Forest looks like it'll connect to the 76432 Forbidden Forest: Magical Creatures set. Both the colors and subject matter match up.

"U.S. polybags are pretty much Walmart and Target at this point now that Toys R' Us is defunct. If they show up anywhere else, it always seems to be at a clearinghouse store (e.g., Five Below) that's moving unsold overstock."

Both Meijer and Kroger stores carry polybags. Just a few more options.

Presently, I can find every polybag at my local TRU. I just can’t find my local TRU these days!

@HOBBES:
In the US, Walmart usually stocks a few SKUs to the actual toy aisle. Target does the same to their checkout lanes, but also puts a few in Seasonal for Christmas and Easter (but only one time that I recall for Halloween). And in the Great Lakes region, Meijer does a few in Seasonal for Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Easter, and maybe a few other times of the year, on top of putting a few in the actual LEGO aisle.

In the part where I live, our Walmarts have a couple (literally 2) SKUs (usually one Friends and one City or Creator - Once I saw a Marvel polybag). I've never seen Technic or HP polybags in my region. As such, I second the motion for having them all readily available at Lego.com.

@HOBBES:
Obviously, things are different on either side of the border, but just in the last year I’ve bought some 1992 Batman polybags, two Technic Mars rover polybags, and the four Dreamzzz polybags that I used to make my Tiny Mutant Ninja Turtles. I _may_ have bought an X-Wing polybag there (I’ve seen that one at all three chains at one point or another), and I _may_ have bought some Quidditch polybags there (at least two chains carried them). Plus I know I’ve seen the Mario polybag, at least one Friends poly, at least one Disney Princess poly, and probably at least one City poly. Here, they get tons of variety (though every so often, one or more elude us, like I don’t know if I saw a single 2023 Creator polybag), but the bigger problem is timing. A few, like the X-Wing, Batman, and Quidditch can be found for nearly a year before they vanish, but some are here and gone within a matter of weeks. The Mars rover is pretty much gone everywhere I’ve checked, and it just came out 6-7 weeks ago.

I get mine at Toys'R'us Canada. They usually have a ton.

Is there a “shake your fist at the sky” button?
