Toys R Us (USA) Now Stocking 2010 Sets...
Posted by Grahame,
Reports are coming through of year 2010 sets being stocked by Toys R Us in the USA. Sets available include some Creator, Technic, Racers, Atlantis and the new City Fire Station set 7208.
Update 15th Nov: Although they don't appear to be everywhere yet, Chad in Texas who originally told us about this has confirmed that the Toys R Us in north Austin/Cedar Park (Pecan Park Boulevard) in Austin, Texas has those listed by Grahame in the comments and he's reviewed the Atlantis sets at his MostlyBricks blog (--Huw)
Update 17th Nov: There have also been reports of the new Space Police sets out at Toys R Us, but the only confirmation I have is in the same Cedar Park, Texas area. The new SPIII sets include the new full-face space helmets. Available sets are the Raid VPR #5981 and Smash n' Grab #5982. Reviews can be found on the above MostlyBricks blog linked by Huw! (-jkool)

Sets reported available so far are:
Creator 5866, 5867
City 7208
Technic 8045, 8046
Atlantis 8056, 8058, 8060
Racers 8196
I was just at my local TRU and there was nothing there, darn... I'll try again next week...
I guess the only sets I want on that list are Atlantis. What I really want is the Star Wars!
I went to my nearest Toy R Us when I saw this but I couldn't find anything new. Same old 2009 sets sprinkled with left over 2008 sets.
I can't believe I spent my money on an electric scooter not a week before......There is a chance that there are Atlantis sets waiting for me RIGHT NOW, and i can't buy them because I made a solemn oath of honor to not buy me anything this close to Christmas.
If anyone sees them, what are the prices? just subtract $5-10 depending on the size and that is thee list price most likely.
@ET Lego is more careful with star wars than other themes, it seems. The same thing happened this summer.
I'm going to my Toys"R"us today, so If I see any 2010 sets , I'll report them back here.
P.S: I found a review of two Bionicle stars sets on Brickshelf! here's the link> http://www.brickshelf.com/cgi-bin/gallery.cgi?f=409455
I hope this means the new Power Miners:Core of the world sets and Bionicle Stars are coming soon. Those Power Miners have improved since last year, and the Bionicle Stars are Matoran/Agori sized, but they have awesome pieces.
Darn! I hoped the Fire Station would be Available in the UK too but unfortunately not! :(
Thank goodness we are getting some 2010 sets before the Christmas holidays, but since I'm in Canada I gotta wait, but I'll probably see them before Christmas like I did with last years POWER MINERS and PIRATES!!
Also: Any news on the upcoming 2010 Power Miners?
I'm pretty sure the release date for most of the sets is November 24th, so that's not too far off anyway.
I was at my local TRU and bought the Fire Blaster, saw the Magma Mech, Atlantis, and even the Droid Tri- Fighter. So if you live in the Traverse City, Michigan area, go to TRU by WAL-MART, they should have it.
I need to revoke my original statement after visiting my Toys R US again. They are stocking all of the sets that are listed at the top of this page. Admittedly none of the sets are near each other nor actually in the front and none of them have prices listed on them, but they ARE there. They are also stocking a Space Police set 5981-1: Raid VPR. I only found one of them though. It looked like the Toys R US people were simply filling in empty spaces with new sets.
I can also confirm TRU has been stocking 2010 sets. I saw Racers 8196, 8197, 8198, 7968, and 7967.
For some pics, see my post at Eurobrick here
http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=33716&st=15&p=617264&entry617264
Star Wars as well? This is great. Hopefully the UK will get them by Christmas.
I haven't checked my TRU in Allentown PA yet, but some membes of our LUG purchased a 2010 set of powerminers, atlantis, and space police, at a TRU in Philly last night.
I found some of thoses sets on Ebay...
We still need clear pics of the 2010 Star Wars sets! Hopefully they actually put all of the 2010 in time for Christmas...though that happens occasionally.
The ARC 170 and Luke's Landspeeder especially. 'Landspeeder looks to be a brilliant set, with all those figures for what will probably be a fairly low price.
Anyway, any news of 2010 appearing in the UK?
I found the fire station and fire boat on friday at TRU, I was completely shocked because I normally here about most sets being found overseas first. I also saw Atlantis sets but didnt pick those up. I wanted to post the news here but didnt know how. I made a review of the fire station in case anyone is interested.

I went to my local TRU yesterday, no sign of 2010 sets..... I really want these Atlantis sets!
I visited my local TRU (Vegas) today, and they had some small Atlantis sets, and the new Space Police sets.
My local TRU had some new Racers sets and the new Technic Helicopter.
Went to my Local TRU today in Vegas they had a few new Racers, 2 new Space Police, and 2 of the Atlantis sets.
Just got back from my TRU in PA. They had one powerminers, one space police, one atlantis, the new fire station, and that was it. However I was told by the memers in philly that they had both space police, two power miners, and a couple of the new creator sets. So its pretty random exactly what is where. And I checked target out of curiosity and they have nothing.
the Christiana toys r us in delaware (US) is stocking the following:
-8188
-8058
-8060
-7207
-8048
-5982
so they stocked up on space police, technic, city, atlantis, power miners, and possibly racers, but im not sure because im not a fan of them so i havent memorized the 2010 sets, but i noticed the technic copter, which im not a fan of technic either but i remeber that.
ALSO! theres a special going on now at toys r us for early christmas shoppers! theres an old woman who was walking around handing out coupons for a 5$ purchase on LEGO (video games not included) when you buy 20$ or more. it also came with a free santa claus keychain (a $5 value!) although it was made of that bad plastic.
was the cupon five dollars off or $20 worth for 5?
I need to go to my TRU is Florida, orlando, has anyone checked the one by florida mall.
It's for $5.00 off $20.00.
Confirmed as well that the 2010 sets are trickling into Northern Virginia TRU's. I've seen the new fire station, fire boat, creator red car, creator orange helicopter, the 3 smaller Atlantis sets, the 2 SP3 sets noted above as well as a couple of new Power Miners sets. Still hoping to see some new SW sets along with the apple tree house and pig farm.
I don't live in Texas but i am the state to the right of Texas (hint) It starts with an L. Anyone hopefully they have 2010 sets at my local tru.
I wonder how much TRU is getting fined by Lego. Unless they have an agreement that allows them to put the sets out early. Here is another question to talk about. Why would you buy from TRU when you can buy from Lego and get your points for free stuff?
yellowcastle, Which TRUs in northern VA have you seen the sets in? I live in the Piedmont region and can't seem to find any around here.
AZFIREWOLF: A. yes because I would use my free points stuff to get them this early and B. If you are getting them as Christmas presents, you are scoring "happy" points with others and those are much more special. Lastly, points are a rip-off, 100 for 5 dollars?!?!?!?! The loyalty cards were better. I think I speak for everyone if not a whole lot of people here.
And I do not think that TRU is getting fined for this, they would be out of business and we would have heard the news talking about this a long time ago. They have been doing this for how many years now, 100?
--Kingston, Ma TRU(For all u Massachusetts lego city fans)
7208: out of stock, but they did have it and everyone bought them.(Gee what a surprise!) Call in a few days, they will be unloading the truck.....
Also inquired about 3179: No clue, again check back in a few days.
--Hyannis, Ma TRU
7208: Not in stock, no other info.
3179: Never heard of it. :i
Interesting fact learned: Lego stocks their own shelves in Toysrus,(Says Kingston) which defeates the guess of TRU just filling holes. And out the conspiracy comes slowly.........
NoVA TRU's where we've seen new 2010 sets: Manassas, Sterling
The Decatur/Meadows store in Nevada had the space sets with the new Squidman and Kranxx, and Atlantis shark-marine.
Saw nothing, zip and nada here. Dang. Really wanted some Atlantis....
Any one seen a set in tacoma?

8060
7208
5981
8188
8189
Thanks for the awesome pictures you guys! It's a breath of fresh air compared to all the tiny, watermarked images floating around the internet.
Only one 2010 set at my TRU (Orem, UT) Space Police Smash and Grab. But there was a woman there handing out LEGO Santa keychains with a $5 off $20 on Lego. Look for her, she's randomly wandering around the store with a bag full a Santas.
I found EVERY set at my TRU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
will226 did you see all the new power miners?
Cary, NC TRU has
7208
7207
I saw at least one SP3 set with 2010 on it, but can't remember which.
Yes
Just picked up the Typhoon Turbo Sub and SP3 Raid VPR last night at the SECOND Lego isle just set up near the rear of the store. Wasn't even really looking for them. Haven't built them yet but the Atlantis instruction book at the end has three pages of the Atlantis series and what some of the features are. I went to pick up Lego Indy 2, which is a neat retool of the lego series.
will226 could you post pictures?
Another Northern Virginia spotting– the Fair Lakes TRU also has the random selection of new items that folks have already posted about:
– three Atlantis sets
– two small SPIII sets
– a Creator box that has a minifig w/ lime green cap
– small PM set with the "silverized" minifig
Etc.
m19
will226 how much was the largest one from the new power miners?
Clarksville, Tn TRU had the 7207, 7208, 8058, 8060 Sets
I'm on a business trip in the USA now and they had 2 new Atlantis (8058 =$19 and 8060=$25) sets at TRU in Sterling Heights, MI.
They didn't have many yet and the store staff was very surprised to see them on the shelves as well. ('I haven't seen those before!')
Finally put together the Turbo Sub. Only took 30 seconds after finishing it on how to make the large engines closer to the body of the sub. Love lego for the ability to fix design "flaws." A great product imporved and all it took was technic bar.
I just got the fire station set at TRU where I live in NY! They are most likely scattered about the country in random areas. If you need proof I will post a picture! Thanks
Saw the Fire Station and Fire Boat last night here in Wisconsin. They also had two new building sets for 4-7 year olds, similar to the fire (6191), pirate (6192), and castle (6193) sets. The first, in the tradition of Lego 6610, is set 5898 which includes a mini-fig, along with parts for a gas pump and two vehicles. There is a photo of this set in a thread on eurobricks: http://www.eurobricks.com/forum/index.php?showtopic=35303
The other set I didn't catch the number on, but it had two mini-figs (man and woman), a car, and a "house." The house doesn't look like much more than a facade with a door and window, much like the fire station that came with the 6191 fire set. Both sets look like a lot more fun than the 6191 fire set, which wasn't a bad little set in itself.
Update for Eastern Mass TRU

I checked again at my TRU in Silverdale, Washington and found nothing. I asked an official, and he told me many people had asked him where they were, so he told me that they would be arriving on Saturday's truck.
And say, has anybody found 8191 Lavatraz yet? That's what I really want to get.
Went to my local TRU today, and they had some 2010 sets. They had three Atlantis, one Space Police, lots of Racers, Bionicle Stars ( two of them ), little $10 creator sets, and the City fire boat. I bought the Atlantis crab. Atlantis is awesome!
At my TRU in atlanta they have all the 2010 sets except the fire station
I went to the Evansville, IN TRU today, where they had Atlantis sets 8056, 8058, and 8060; Power Miners set 8188; both SP3 sets; the helicopter creator set and a couple of small creators similar to the pirates and fire station ones; the new fireboat; and some small assorted racers. I didn't see any lego santas though.
