2018 Bricktober sets revealed!

I’m gonna need all of these...
(Well, maybe not the Ninjago set)

too bad my local toys r us is shut down

I'm very much looking forward to these. Especially the Harry Potter ones - gotta love the Snape Boggart :D

Neeeed that Ian Malcolm. Want the Marvel and Harry Potter ones too. Don't know how I'm gonna get em tho.
If anyone got a source to get them in the UK, let me know

The Avengers one has to be top of my list! Hopefully they will be GWP at Smyths or somewhere like that...

The Infinity war and Jurassic Park/World collection is a must have!

Nice, definitely going to try to get the Ninjago one (Kabuki Nya!).

Wouldn't be surprizing to see these at Smyths in UK/IE since the takeover over DE/AT/CH TRUs

The Jurassic World one is awful. The Harry Potter one will be insanely expensive.

As someone who does not like licensed (nor Ninjago), this is an extremely easy pass. My wallet is thankful!

My money is on target for US release

Love Wong, Ian Malcom and Kabuki Nya, Snape looks hilarious in his defeated Boggart shape although I have no interest on the HP one.

The Infinity War and Jurassic World ones look amazing. But it is a little lame that they included a baby Blue. I would've preferred either a different character (maybe Benjamin Lockwood or even John Hammond?) or a different colour, as the baby variants of the entire Raptor Squad were in FK.

The Avengers one is a MUST HAVE!!

That new chrome bat is interesting as well.

well as Smyths Toys own Toys r us in Germany it looks hopeful that Smyths Toys in the UK will get these :)

I can finally get my Wong!

Harry Potter is probably the best of these, Jurassic World the worst. The Ninjago one isn't as interesting as the last one, but getting show only characters in physical form isn't something to complain about! The Marvel one I could give or take, but I don't recall if we got a Wong in the last Sanctum Sanctorum set but I'm pretty sure we didn't so that's cool!

So from best to worse
Harry Potter
Ninjago
Marvel
Jurassic World

With mention of Smyths, you'd think as pretty much the UK's only major surviving toyshop chain, (Toymaster and The Entertainer aren't great, and Hamleys is in few locations and overpriced), you'd have thought they'd pick up a lot of the exclusives that Toys R Us used to have.

That said though, the range of products they carry isn't as big as Toy R Us had, even on their website.

I need 3 of these.

Wan
Ian Malcolm
And all the Harry potter minifigs
are great

Perhaps, but not all

Dr. Malcolm! Hell yeah!

So, I'm curious, will just be in the few countries that had Toys R' Us stores that were a different entity entirely than the US TRUs, or will there be another chain carrying the sets here?

I'm wondering if these will be at any store in the United States. A few countries do still have Toys R' US, but it's because they were a different company entirely and thus immune to the bankruptcy.

I want the Harry Potter and Jurassic World one(only for Malcom). Hope these are easily available in the US though.

J3fF G0ld8l000000000oooooooooommMM!

Rumors say we’ll get the Avengers one as a Lego Store promo in October. I imagine we’ll get the others ones in the US at some point too.

Here is a hint as to where these might end up. Since the closing of our local Toy's R Us stores, I have seen Speed Champions sets show up at Target stores. This was a Toy's R Us exclusive line and that might mean other TRU exclusives could end up at Target, or other retailers.

It is SOOO sad that I probably won't be able to get the HP one. I Dearly want it...

I mean they won't be available in Finland so I can't get them (except for 40 euros a pack from Bricklink). Shame they limit such cool minifigures from smaller countries.

I hope that Avengers one comes to the US! I need that for my Infinity War Collection! The rest are just meh to me.

Fingers crossed for some official way of getting these in the UK. I only want the Ninjago set myself, but wouldn't want others to miss out on their choices.

Since they seem to have given Boggart Snape the CMF scarecrow hat I’m disappointed they didn’t add the crow piece to t to represent the stuffed vulture that is also supposed to be with that outfit

The choices for the Ninjago set seem a bit odd for me - why use the future Jay design that was retconned with the movie appearance? Why not give us casual Harumi, a figure that saw much more screentime and is way more desirable than Oni mask Harumi? Why give a random biker gang member instead of one of the missing Elemental Masters? The only one that’s a really desirable one is Kabuki Nya, something fans have been wanting for a while. As a Ninjago completionist, I’ll still have to get this, but it seems like a missed opportunity to get more interesting/better characters...

@JoshuaMauk: 60175 and some other sets were TRU exclusives as well.

^Technic and Speed Champions have been showing up at my local Wal-Mart since TRU closed in the area to... so its clear the former TRU exclusives are heading out into the wild.

The Avengers and Harry Potter figure packs are must haves for me. Hope to hear word on the US release soon.

the JW pack is the least interesting by far

The Jurassic World set and Avengers sets are must haves. Harry Potter and Ninjago are easy passes.

I'm guessing they'll come to TRU Canada.

I really hope they are not Target or Walmart exclusive to replace TRU. Both retailers here in my city never have any knowledge about exclusives or how to handle LEGO releases. They put out the HP sets a week early and they couldnt be rung up because of the Embargo. But had them on shelves. Neither stores knew about the HP minifigs and to this day have them in stock but havent put them out because the other themed sets havent moved/sold enough yet. This typically happens with every knew theme. Inifnity War was the last time this happened before HP. Enough ranting:

This really needs to be a GWP at the LEGO stores here in the US. Its done right and managed very well. Heres hoping LEGO pulls through.

They will be at Barnes an Noble in the US later this year.

I would much rather have had them handed by Lego stores, like JasonBricksHD, partly because the staff are so much better than those in generalist stores like Target, but also (admittedly selfishly) because it's a lot easier for me to get to one than to Walmart or Barnes & Noble. Hopefully the offer will extend online somehow.

I wish they'd make actual sets for older Ninjago seasons before the cruddy movie tainted the entire franchise.

@Grizbe, indeed and (unless things have changed, which to be fair it might have..but last I heard) The Entertainer don't sell Harry Potter products due to the link of witchcraft to the occult, and their owner being an incredibly rigid Christian .

Surely gotta be Smyths in the UK. Harry Potter and MARVEL being absolute must haves for me.

Am I the only one disappointed that "sets" are really just minifigs? Was kind of hoping for something to play with.

Hopefully these appear in Smyths here in Ireland or on Shop @Home. I would really like that Harry Potter pack, and the Jurassic World one purely for Jeff Goldblum

I really hope I’ll be able to get these in the US! Please let us know when, where, and how we can buy these!

Totally thrilled! Hoping they get to the USA. I'm in for the JW and SH sets for sure. Wonder if Target will be the retailer that (most likely) gets these? LEGO has done some promo stuff with them before. Would be shocked if they get to Walmart.

According to Twitter, they will be available at Barnes & Noble stores later this year but no release date yet

UMBRIDGE!

Correction made on Twitter by Legogroup that only the HP set will be available at Barnes & Noble and more info on the others coming later.

Only Ninjago for me I'm afraid: Don't care about Potter, Don't get Jurassic, and...if it were a DC set yeah, but NO (Hate Marvel). What weird this year though is 3/4 of the sets are 'flesh-toned', w/Ninjago being the exception.
Hope this isn't "the way" going forward, as I think a City set isn't so bad, maybe a non-property property; like if they'd done a Nexo Knights set (w/the reporters, maybe a training knight)...Donno, sets in the past seemed better than now (esp. with the fact they use to have 5 instead of 4 figs)...None the less: Brickobter!!!

I’m not the biggest Marvel fan, so can someone tell me what the Marvel figs are (besides War Machine and Bucky)?

@TK-421 There's James Rhodes (War Machine) in his Mk. 4 suit; Benedict Wong, Doctor Strange's magic compatriot, who has not appeared in minifigure form before; Tony Stark (Iron Man) in the suit he wears underneath his Mk. 50 armour in Infinity War; and Bucky Barnes, aka the Winter Soldier, aka the White Wolf.

All of the pieces on the figures are new prints, except for Bucky's hair, which has been used on previous versions of the character, Tony's hair, which is an existing piece but new for this character, and the pieces used to make War Machine's back-mounted gun, which is new for this iteration but are existing pieces.

With the recent release of 75932-1: Jurassic Park Velociraptor Chase that Ian Malcolm figure is highly desirable. Gotta get that.

And since Infinity War came out I've recently had a kick to collect all of the Avengers characters so that Marvel pack is perfect for filling in some gaps! Definitely have to get that!

Unfortunately I think I'm going to have to try and get all of these. Although I think the Jurassic Park one is a bit of a con just including the baby T-Rex in place of a unique figure.

We’re do I get these in the uk?

@shea42 and TK-421, a small correction - Dr Strange's magical compatriot is not called Benedict Wong, his name is simply Wong. Benedict Wong is the real name of the actor who plays him.

Man I love bricktober! as a ninjago fan, I wish they put a better figure in place of Mohawk, also, Just2good said that they would be coming out in Barnes and noble. dont know if thats true but its a possibility.

I wish they would make these a GWP directly from LEGO Shop @Home, and therefore make these available to everyone. Also, they should stretch out the availability to at least two weeks per set. It's hard to justify (especially to my wife) buying sets ea. week to collect every one. Although I realize that two weeks availability per set wouldn't really make it Bricktober anymore, but maybe it could be BrickFall...?

@LegoSolo77 would be nice, but they would probably run out of stock before they get through the first week anyway, so it wouldn't do much good extending it to two weeks.

Wow! Awesome!

I need y'all to help me: I need someone to explain to me please how Bricktober normally works. I live close to a B&N and I am IN LOVE with that Marvel pack, so, how much would it cost? When would it normally be released?

@rljf311: In past the USA Bricktober TRU minifig sets were a free gift with purchase (usually $80-100); surplus sets were sold after their promo week window at $20/pack—though some years you could find stores selling them without other purchase during their promo week window.

However yesterday I saw on Twitter a post from LEGO saying B&N only has the Potter set this year. The details of purchase and dates of promo are not yet disclosed.

Any information on the Barnes and Noble Harry Potter assortment in the US of A yet? I may have to become a pest at my local store...

The Marvel Infinity War set is a must-have! Latest War Machine/Rhodey, Wong, Tony Stark in nano-armor sweatsuit, and White Wolf Bucky. Basically, this set rounds out the whole 2018 IW series.
