Annual trip to NYC - anything to look out for?

BooTheMightyHamster

Hi gang,

Mrs Boo and I are heading to New York.  Any tips for exclusives - polys etc - to look out for.  I know the TRU Bricktober sets are a thing of the past, but last time we were here there were things like the Harry Potter teacher set at Barnes and Noble, and the Star Wars Kessel Miner poly.

There might not be anything now Lego are taking more of a global view of things (hurrah!), but if anyone's aware of anything, then I've got a few friends back home who always appreciate something rare.

Cheers!

Boo

I haven't seen anything of regional bias or exclusivity.  (Definitely nothing particular to NYC.)

Enjoy the snow!

You need to make a quick jaunt a few hours north to the fine city of Montréal! We have exclusive, uh, um.... stuff. Yeah.

There were Minifigure torsos with a 'I heart NY' design in the NY stores I visited.

We are coming to Montreal in December. Keep some snow for us

Hello Mr and Mrs Boo

Nice that you’re returning to the NYC. I’m not sure if there’s anything special to look out for this time. There are a few ordinary polys popping up at Target. With the new Star Wars movie hitting the theatres soon and The Mandalorian series launching on Disney+, I thought there would be some kind of exclusive announced by now 😠


These are a few of the polys I’ve seen in November at Target:

#30573 Santa
#30451 Spider-Man’s Mini Spider Crawler
#30553 Elsa’s Winter Throne
#30410 Mia’s Water Fun
#30361 Fire ATV
#30364 Popcorn Cart


This poly seems to be generating the most buzz but availability is still unknown in the US right now:

#30623 SHAZAM


I’ll keep my eyes open for anything new that comes my way.

This guy: #853599-1 - torso in the BAM bar as well as on the magnet at Rockefeller.
And they still had Statue of Liberty magnet as well.

I'm going in March. I do wish LEGO would do some small region specific sets for their stores in touristy cities/places. Like an apple for New York. I think they did something like that when they opened it but it should have been kept.

Also if you see any “NY I Heart” torsos with sand green hands lying around that would be great to bring back...
