Nice.

And the online options are just so prohibitively expensive. I ended up spending $20-$30 on some of last year's polybags when they popped up on eBay or on Amazon, but it was the only way to get the darn things.

And I still never found the scarecrow or the Monkie Kid bag.

You can buy it, on their website. So I guess that's not a promo item.

I was so annoyed by how much I had to spend to get 30455; almost as much as I spent to get 76181!

I tend to buy polybags at Walmart or Target. I hope this new Dr. Strange minifigure has a reversible head with his third eye.

I picked up 30654 yesterday. Very swooshable.

The 1X2 round plates should've been transparent orange, the solid color looks really odd through the portal. I really wish we'd get more sets based off the first movie, I'm still waiting for a Kaecilius Minifigure.

Not a fan of the majority of Marvel sets, but I love the minifigs… Looking forward to finding this little polybag!

Or MCU classifications…

Indeed.

I don't look for poly bags as they are so hard to find, and I will never pay aftermarket prices for them

Monkie Kid unfortunately was a promo. Although I have found promo polybags sometimes, like an absurd amount of Hogwarts castles, Monkie Kid was listed as $7 with Lego and that might be too inconvenient for retailers. This should have a similar retail as the bridge battle polybag...which I guess isn't too promising.

I just wish this had been a non-deceased Defender Strange, as it'd be nice to get a variant that hasn't been released in a main set yet. The precedent being that time we got green-uniform Captain Marvel in a polybag (she was otherwise only available in an SDCC exclusive set).

Oh well.

Anyway, the portal probably needs to be modified with some flame pieces on clips. I smell customization coming.

Anyway, here's hoping this turns up in the Easter promos at either Walmart or Target next month. (I haven't seen much Lego in the Valentine's promo aisle at Target.)

I have never found any Technic polybags in Canada - and HP are very hard to find as well (in the part where I live at least. pop: 800k)

This polybag is cool but to me the big question would be: is the picture at the back included (i.e. a somewhat translucent picture of a blurred city in the background) without that, this arrangement of pieces does not mean much.

@LegoBoi69 said:

Hopefully it’s something that can be bought. But I have a feeling that it will be quite popular as a cheap set with Doctor Strange.

Ok, that background scenery is gorgeous.

Might be worth buying a few for the transparent macaroni tiles...

There was a panda polybag that disappeared quickly and supposedly a Friends one too but all I ever saw was the shelf tag

I don't know if I actually want to get this since I just ordered the Sanctum, but it's giving me some interesting ideas for alternate ways to display the portals. I haven't built it yet but that was one thing I was disappointed by because I'm not sure if I can display it in a way that shows the sides you can place the portal much or at all.

Nothing is hard to find on the internet Things might get expensive, but not hard to find. These polybags are listed on lego website.

Saw many of the 2023 polys at the LEGOLAND Discovery centers, but at 7 dollars a piece I did not get any duplicates. Here is to hoping they make an appearance at other stores throughout the year (as Easter is coming up Im guessing at least two will be at Target stores). LDCs also tend to put out older polys so still holding out hope for 30569 to appear at the one near me

A great polybag and a minifigure, otherwise I missed sets with it last year. I hope to get it.

I do not care about the character, but I really like this poly bag for some reason.

The only store that carries polybags in Australia is the actual Lego shop. Retail toy shops simply don't carry them (occasionally, little stands with 5 different varieties of polybag will pop up in odd places, like the toy section of a grocery store, or the post office, but that's rare). And although they're available in physical Lego stores, you can't buy them from Lego.com, they're always gift-with-purchases or free add-ons or whatever.

Ebay and Amazon sellers get some of them (I don't know how. Possibly they buy in bulk from Lego stores?), but that then becomes a hideously expensive option.

It's just damn near impossible to actually get these things.

Isn't that colour discontinued as of 2023?

I like this polybag. Simple, but effective."

TR Neon Orange is out as of 2022, as none of last year's "regular" sets contained the colour. It remains a holdout in only two known sets, 2000430-2 (Education) where a 2x2 dish is included, and 60339 (Stuntz) in a dual-molded flame. Personally I consider the colour to be retired as of 1/1/2022

"I'm still looking for some of last year's polybags. Some of which I don't think were even released, let alone, made it to Australia."

The only place I've ever seen them is the official Lego stores, so you could try there if you were out of luck.

This one was available as a VIP purchase (spend VIP points to get as part of an order) in the US. It appeared at one point when I was looking. I didn't see it announced anywhere.

I wish we could purchase polybags on Lego.com.

Yea, where in principle do you get these in old Blighty?

I mean, you can crudely paint a third eye on it. It will likely look better than the original animation

I will get it if I find it in a store. I still haven’t found 30443 Spider-Man Bridge Battle although other people have.

They may be sold out at this point, but my Target(at least the one that had them) had put them in the Disney merch area rather than with Lego.

I visit three Target stores at least weekly, usually twice a week, and none of them have had them. None of them have the Disney area either, but it's pretty disappointing that they haven't been everywhere. Even though the Target app showed the set many times in Instagram ads, it was never available for online orders. Pretty lame! :(

I gave up on checking the store inventory online. They never seem to remotely match. Hopefully Lego will put polybags back on their site like they did during COVID.

FYI to anyone looking for this set in the US, it is now available online at Target.com for $4.99 as of February 1st with a max order of 3 per person.
