[US] #60015 Coast Guard Plane

binaryeye

Does anyone know what the availability of #60015 will be? It's currently available from LEGO in Europe, but not in the US. Both Wal-Mart and TRU have the new Coast Guard sets available on their websites, and this one is not included. So it doesn't seem to be exclusive to either one. Target doesn't yet have the Coast Guard sets on their site, so I suppose it could be exclusive there.

I noticed the recent German LEGO catalog had this note next to the set: "Nur für kurze Zeit im teilnehmenden Handel". I don't speak German, so I don't know what exactly this means. The rough Google translation is "Limited time participating in trade", which is open to interpretation of the word "trade".

I was told by a TLG employee at a B&M store that this wouldn't be released until August in the US

So there is some hope it will be released in the US. Thanks for the info!

That's not so, wagner. I've seen the set at Target; it's also available at their website now. It's already released in the US, despite what the Lego employee said. Distribution is a strange thing; neither action figures (which was a past obsession of mine) nor Lego sets arrive everywhere at once. There's often a trickle, then a flood.

^Target in the US? It's not showing up for me online. My local Target also doesn't have 60015, though I saw 60013 and 60014 in store.

perhaps it is a Target exclusive and TLG stores won't get them til later. If anyone couls snap a pic of one, I'd be obliged,
