[EU] Galaxy Squad coming to Europe

mressin

I just obtained the German customer catalogue (the one which is almost square) for January-June 2013. No surprises, a few glitches, and of course all the new themes in it: Legends of Chima, Lone Ranger, Hobbit etc.

I was quite surprised, however, that Galaxy Squad is not in it at all. Considering that it seems to be available already in North America, does that mean that they won't sell that particular theme in Europe?

(My apologies if that has been discussed already elsewhere. Couldn't find anything on it.)

lego did a similar thing this year with superheroes. They didnt launch until may in Germny when they were already out in UK in January.

The theme is listed in the Italian version of the consumer catalogue -

- as coming in March. In the Milton Keynes store today the staff said they thought it was coming to the UK in February.

It looks like we will be getting it, and not too long to wait :-)

I thought the Monster Fighter theme was exit at the end of 2012?

Apparently, at least in Lego stores, Galaxy Squad won't be available in the UK before June 2013.

Frankly, I'm a bit surprised that we haven't seen any scammers yet trying to sell of Twitch from the Toy Story theme as Galaxy Squad exclusive minifig... ;)
