Toys R Us 2017 Bricktober Minifigures UK

SpaceCadet01

Hi all :)
Does anyone know if or when this year's Bricktober Minifigures will be available in the UK?
Thanks

From comments elsewhere, it seems TRU employees don't even know what they are, let alone when.
Best guesses so far seem to be 'end of month'

It will be interesting to see whether TRU even have the stock to distribute to their retail outlets.  I wonder if LEGO had already halted shipments to them prior to them filing for bankruptcy.

TRU UK isn’t affected. Different company, just the US arm went bankrupt. Business as usual in the UK.

Hope we get them soon. :)

Apologies.  Shows what I know, or don't.  I thought I'd read across fb last week a ton of worried UK based parents not knowing to buy Santa's gifts this year.  Looks like I was just another of them believing the b.s. online.  :)

Mr_Hobbles

No need for apologies. :) Just relaying what I’ve read in statements by TRU UK in the media. I’m guessing those haven’t been as widely reported as the attention grabbing “Toys R Us bankrupt” headline, explaining the unnecessarily worried parent situation.

I was told by a TRU manager who works the BRICK LIVE event in Birmingham NEC that they will be available at the event from 26/Oct/2017.

I was told by TRU uk customer services in September that they have been ordered and that they should be out the first week of October in the UK..

Let’s hope they come out soon, and everyone who want them for their collection, can do so...

I can’t wait to add them to my Batman collection. Have every variant going and plan to keep it that way :)

Couldn't see them in my local yesterday, either in the Lego section or by the tills.

Shouldn't the Bricktober promo starts on 1st week of Oct and lasts for 4 weeks?

26 Oct seems a little late to start an Oct promo event.
