In Canada TRU already has some of the sets listed!

ARRgg. I've been looking for the separatist spider droid, and its at Toys'r'us. I've looked everywhere BUT there. *grumble grumble*
Thanks for the list :)

Does anyone know which stores these are available in here in Australia? Looks like there are some differences.

GUys not all target stores have the tank. Just to let you know, don't get ild , i visted 1 yesterday and they didn't have it.

why are people double-posting? Also is there a list of exclusives outside of America and how I can get them? Exclusives aggravate me.

Maybe they were out of them? Try the endcaps.

Guys I just won a bid on the republic fighter tank!!! :) On ebay. But it comes to my house through 16-23. Also I am bidding on a clone trooper :)

no they weren't at my target either.

I HATE EXCLUSIVES

Hey, if you go onto Target.com it says "this item is available online but not in stores"( Fighter Tank) and it will arrive in 2-6 weeks

Well thanks for the info, but do we have a specific date to when these sets will be released?

I argee with LegoMan384.Thanks for the info shima55.But i dont like the fact that WalMart only has a little bit of sets out.

When I went to one wal-mart they only the droid gunship.

I went to Target today (Culpeper, VA) and they had all four exclusives on an endcap! I've been checking at various Targets for the past few weeks, and hadn't seen them until today.

Brickmeister-Excellent advice regarding check the endcaps. That is where all 4 of these exclusive sets were at 1 Target I went to last night (Westbury, NY). They had plenty of the Coast Guard and Bionicle but only 2 SW and about 5 Agents sets. I went to a Target in Levittown NY and could only find the Coast Guard set there. I then went to a Target in Farmingdale NY and they had none of the Target Exclusives last night. Today I hope to go to 2 more Targets (Bayshore and Copiague NY) and will report back to the group.

I don't particularly care for Exclusives either but if it weren't for exclusives, you might not shop at 1 of the stores for LEGO. I hate Wal-Mart for two reasons. I often have more LEGO sets in my house than they do on their shelves and their clearance process is ridiculous because the markdown is minimal (about 10-25%) whereas at Target I often buy LEGO for 50-75% OFF! If Wal-Mart had an Exclusive set I wanted then I would go there forcing me to shop at a different store for my LEGO fix. This practice of giving different stores different exclusives makes these retailers happy as well. It is a smrt move by LEGO to keep a good relationship with the 3 largest toy sellers in the US. Besides, like arctrooper170 said, you can probably get these sets online at LEGO.com.

Be patient and vigilant in your trips to these stores and you will find what you are looking for. I collect Justice League Unlimited Figures and the only place you can buy the newest wave of figures is at Target. If I didn't wait to find these figures at Target I would have spent double to triple the amount for them on Ebay. Be patient and you will find these exclusive LEGO sets!

Happy Hunting and Good Luck!

"I am so smart, SMRT."
Sorry for the Homer Simpson reference but I realized I left out the a in smart in my previous post!

As for these new exclusive sets, the SW tank looks really cool. I am not a fan of SW LEGO but the new Clone Wars sets look really nice, especially the tank.

By the way, the TRU in Westbury had all of the Exclusives listed. All of them!

Target seems to love putting their exclusives on endcaps. I haven't been to a target to check for the tank yet, but that is where I have found all of their exclusives and feature sets in the past.
TRU Seems to incoperate them into the regular section. Wal-Mart does the same thing. I have found TRU has the best selection, but it is harder to get to (the closest one to me is 45 min) and Wal-Mart usually has the worst. I find that target is a good balence of the two. Rarely, I have found new sets at K-Mart as well, but this is rarely. The stuff usually arrives at TRU first.

Exactly which Clone Wars sets AREN'T exclusives?

I really want that set. Are there any in California?

Anyone know where this stuff is in Canada?!

i went to lego store in chandler az, nope nothing
to what i saw in the star wars section so me and my brother got a few bricks from a pick a brick wall for fun

any spottings in Mass??

Brickmeister-I agree that Target loves to put the exclusives on the endcaps. I remember the Exo-Force, Technic Racers and Dwarves Mine sets being there last year and that is where I have found this year's crop of exclusives. As for your other insights into TRU and Wal-Mart, I have found the same thing to be true by me. I can not stand K-Mart! I have gone to my local K-Mart on the day that sales start only to find that they are sold out. Last Black Friday I went to K-Mart 1st and as I was walking to the LEGO section there were 2 grown men each with 2 shopping carts overflowing with LEGO sets (which I have no doubt that they went on ebay later that day!). In this case K-Mart had enough stock obviously but they failed to place any type of limit on what you could buy which is why I left empty handed.

Target is the best by far imho. They have an excellent selection at the LEGO MSRP unlike TRU which charges you 10-20% above MSRP. Case in point, the LEGO SW Battle Packs are 9.79 at Target and 12.99 at TRU! When sets go on sale at TRU it is almost like you still are paying regular price!

i went to 2 targets here in northern cali and i couldnt find them (republic fighter tank)
i only found the agents, and coast guard set

No Target in Hawaii. :( I had to place my Tank on order. $60 with shipping. :(

Well, I get my republic fighter tank through the 16-23th.

legolegend88
I never stated that I knew what the new SW Battle Packs would cost, those are the prices at Target and TRU for the current sets that are out now.
bmwlego

no new sets on cape cod yet keep u updated

ngclarkiv-There are 4 clones in the current set and 4 rebel troops as well and there were 4 droids and 4 storm troopers in last year's sets. You might be right that the price could go up next year but it is not because there will be 4 figs in it!
I am hunting for new sets on Long Island in the great state of New York!
bmwlego

Yeah it is bmwlego. If you've noticed the clones wars sets have been more expensive than past sets because of the clones. The clones are expensive because they are individually made just like other minifigures such as the jedi or sith ninifigures. It will be more expensive because of clones.

rember that they update lego.com every tuseday well they might releas it today

instad of the 16 hopefully

I repeat, where is this stuff in Canada?!! >:O

Out of all the exclusives, the only I have NOT seen is Peril in Peru(most likely it's because it's not availible in the US anymore)

It isn't!?

on shop at home it isn't. I myself wished to get this set.I also checked the TRU site and I was unable to locate it.

i was lucky to get then i guess

checking lego.com and......

it was updated...

stll nothing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

i am so fed up with this!!!
time to invest in playmobil..?.....

I agree. I too am fed up this waiting around while tose who have the tank point and laugh at us becuase we've been waiting close to three months for one measly OVERPRICED set that we all clearly want. However I am not investing in Playmobile for it seems kinda strange to me and before anyone brings it up... No MEGA BLOKS or BTR or any cheap copy of Lego that has Hard-to-read-instructions. Besides Lego is my life....

Playmobil? Are you kidding me? Who would go that far?

Apparently Legoville410 would. It isn't something I would resort to. And is it me or is everyone here trying to get there hands on a Republic Fighter Tank? Doesn't really surprise me I mean like I said beforewe've been waiting several months for the set. I have the strangest feeling that I won't get one...

I think that the tank is at a reasonable price but something about its size doesn't seem right.It would be better at a cheaper price.The piece to price ratio is ok but the size to price ratio isn't.And all I'm saying is that sooner or later peril in peru will be gone forever(which is REALLY BAD)

I'm actually very happy about the size. Its a decent size, about as long as the the rogue shadow and x-wing so its definitely a great price also considering the x-wing and rogue shadow were 50. The most decent price for a clones wars set so far.

I change that. Not as big as x-wing and rogue shadow but its got more pieces than both so its decent

I GOT ONE TODAY! Last set there, but I will be getting it for Xmas. There are some in Southern California.

I meant the other star Wars sets though the tank could be $5 cheaper just to give us break on all the other expensive SW sets they've turned out this year. And LegoLegend88 the tanks been available in some other countries since the other Clone Wars sets came out. Theres already reviews for it too. I think they're just tryin to make us jealous

hustla187, you got it? where in SoCal did you get it?

The Target exclusive sets where set on their endcap this morning at my Local Target. Chances are all Targets will be setting them soon, possibly for this weeks ad. The TX-130 tank was $49.99, I picked it up on my lunch hour.

Again, name calling - not acceptable behaviour.

As it is routinely the same individual, I am escalating this.

Have a nice day.

No actually in person I'm what you'd refer to as a NERD. Anyway does anyone know why the set 7681 has two names? It's been called Seperatist Spider Droid and in the brickmaster it says "Homing Spider Droid" though the box says Seperatist Spider Droid!? It's confusing me!

LSW_Obsessed, I got it at a new Target that reopened recently. It was the last one there.

Target has a new exclusive for next year.see it here:
http://www.target.com/Lego-Bionicle-Tuma/dp/B001GN5IIE

Thanks for the head ups water jedi 17. They also posted this news on BZPower. I don't think Tuma is a target exclusive though. But I could be mistaken.

I went to a target and no luck on the Tank. Though the lego section wasn't filled with many sets at all...

I am most likely to get the tank tommorw.

now availabil at lego shop at home in the usa

Im getting mine most likely tomorrow! :) I can't wait!

LegoLegend, I'm going to get it for Christmas. I'll review it when I finish buidling it.

Guys , I just got it today! UPS delivery when I juat got home! I am so excited!

congrats to everyone who has one and i wish you luck if you still don't have it
This has been bugging lately about the clone accessories. Okay you know the clone wars sets come with a kama, pauldron, antennas to communicate with troops and the "I don't know exactly they ares"
THEY ARE FLASHLIGHTS TO ATTACH TO THE HELMETS. If any of you have seen the Clone Wars in theaters you will remember the scene where Captain Rex attachs a small device to his helmet which acted as a flashlight.

Actually, tye, they are called FLOODlights; the clones use them to see just incase they run into a nasty overflow of water. I might get mine tomorrow.

That actually makes since. Thanks Leggodt. You know there's a lot of exclusives for the Clone Wars for a reason. So TLC will make a profit of course. But why so many? Does anyone know why the tx-130 came out so late?

aright, I want to know who was the tank?

I just went to my local target store today and got the fighter tank. I haven't built it yet but I will update you once I have. I think that my store has it because I live in state of one of three legostores in the whole united states, I live between dallas and for worth, texas which is only about four hours away from friendswood, texas where the legostore is so most of the state of texas probably has the sets in already. Lucky me, huh!

Nice Leggodt , you have join, the I have republic fighter tank club. Note it will tank you 3 hours to build.

do you have it, captain rex?

I have the tank now!! It rocks and is much bigger than I expected

Yes I have the the tank LSW_obsessed.

Actually, captain rex, it took me only 2 hours to build and I love it! I am going to write a review of it right now.

Well actually it ownly took me 2 hours and 30 minutes.

im like the only one who doesnt have it....
maybee because i havent looked for it at all this weekend? naww.

Hey Leggodt I read your commet about the Lego Store in Friendswood, TX. I live in Austin and I was wondering if it really is worth visiting it? Oh and how many fighter tanks do they got there?

Well, I'm not sure if your asking how many are at my local target store or the legostore in friendswood but, at my local target store, I saw about five or six, not a whole lot, and I don't know how many are in friendswood because I didn't visit there; I was just saying that our state might have received them early due to the fact that we have a legostore residing somewhere in our state and that that particular legostore, being that it is a lego brand store, got them early so why not ship them across the rest of the state, right? Does that make sense?

hey can anyone give the size in inches on the tank? thx

yeah that makes sense. Good assumption by the way. thx

Ya, the way I see the tank's size as is that it's not expenentially long but that does not mean it's small, and it IS very wide and tall and very "thick" as in it looks like it's comprised of a lot in the interior. That must be why it has so many pieces.

I was at Target yesterday and they had all 4 exclusives in stock. Oddly enough, the set that had the highest piece count was the Star Wars tank. Compared to the other sets, this is a good buy when considering piece count. Does that mean that LEGO abandoned charging more for SW or raised the prices on the other 3 sets? I think that LEGO just wanted to have several new sets out at the $50 price point but I could be wrong.
At Target last year around this time, they had the Dwarves Mine for $50 and now it retails for $60 so maybe these Limited Edition/Exclusive sets are deals not only for the retailers who stock them so that we shop at their stores but also for us because they are cheaper than they would be if they weren't Exclusive/Limited Edition offerings.
Thoughts about this anyone?
bmwlego

That's a thought. now that you mention it, I do believe LEGO wanted it's outrageous priced Clone Wars sets to be pricey because they knew Lego Star Wars fans are willing to buy 'Exclusives' even if they are at ridiculus prices. Basicly Lego used us fans so that we would spread news how great the sets are and while they make huge profits ripping us off. And LEGO thinks they can just give us a great deal on one set. Doesn't anyone else feel a little betrayed by LEGO. Don't get me wrong cause the sets are awesome. But still.

I agree as well. Take a look at the Separatist Spider droid. Its the $19.99 boxes and they charge you $29.99. The pieces counts is small and the set is small. Sets such as magna guard starfighter and v19 torrent have been raise up by $5. They should be $40 and $50.

To be honest, I feel star wars lego is one of the most expensive lego theme line. If you buy other themes such as City, Agents, or Castle. The boxes are usually really big and has a lot of pieces.

Take an look at the Dwarves Mines. I just compared the box size with the AT-TE and can't belive its the same. Yet I had to pay $30 more.

Other exclusive sets doesn't seem to affect much, its just star wars. Like the Agents Speed boat rescue($40), you get 2 instructions booklet and the box size is the same as ($50) of star wars lego.
But i don't know for some reason, lego only makes ships/vehicles. i rather they make scenes and include ships with them . There isn't really much playability with them.

Well, maybe, since star wars LEGO is gona be gone soon, LEGO is just trying to squeeze out as much as possible from there best-selling toy line.

What do you mean maybe? What maybe??? But if you look at star wars, most sets are ships/vehicles. If they make scenes of star wars like the hoth rebel base 7666, it would be a top seller. And i don't think star wars would be gone soon. They are going to make more sets especially the Clone Wars TV series is 100 epiosdes. And also their contract is to 2011 ! They extended it....

I know, that's what I was talking about, laststand. Trust me, 2011 will be here faster than you think.

The tank is finally here!

I got the fighter tank finally. I've been looking for it for ages now.

OMG!!
i just got the tank yesturday, and it is awsome!!
the only problem i have with it is that the missile fall out easily.
can i join the "i have the fighter tank" club??
