My son is hooked on Nemo at the moment and I'm after 8 of these but it looks like they are not that common in the UK. Was it ever released here?

    I'll go one further...was it ever released anywhere? I was just looking at the 2010 pollies and I don't recall seeing some of these anywhere...

    From my Bricklist, availability was very limited ;-)

    Availability:
    [CA] Seen on sale at London Drugs.
    [NL] Available at Gamma stores in the Netherlands with a 50 Euro purchase during October 2011.

    Oh, just to add, you may struggle to get hold of 8 but you may be able to get a few from the forum. This is by no means a promise but try contacting @lostintranslation and @dimefield to see if they have spares. I already traded my spares away, sorry!

    i thought these were *only* available overseas, but then i found them in a toyshop in casper wyoming for 4.99 a pop when i was home for xmas. i saw them at dulles airport the other day when i was passing through as well. i can check when i get home to see if i have any that didn't make it into stockings.

    Sorry, I've only got one left and that's allocated for @Huw.

    FYI, for your Bricklist @atkinsar, they were available to buy individually, not just free with purchase. I didn't make my sister spend hundreds of pounds at Gamma just to get me and my friends polybags! :D

    Edit: if you like @Cam_n_Stu I can dig out the instructions and scan them so you can have a go at sourcing the parts from Bricklink?

    Thanks for the pointers @atkinsar, and thanks for the offer of scanning the instructions LostInT' but as I was after them for party gifts I guess they will have to be sealed polys really.

    I found them in an obscure local toy shop here in MN that does carry LEGO. They were on the floor in a cardboard box holder. They had a few left when I bought three a few weeks ago, but unknown in they have any left.

    No need to scan the instructions - Huw has links to the instructions under the set entry for this set!

    @evilempire22 - mind sharing the name of this toy shop with a fellow Minnesotan? ;)

    If there is anyone who can get them for @Cam_n_Stu, I wonder if you'd be able to grab a couple for me also?
    Cheers

    Ah - I've been to the Little Canada one a few times. (I know there are a couple locations)

    I haven't seen the clown fish there though.

    Thanks :)

    I remember hearing once that these were available for sale in the SeaLife Aquarium next door to LEGOLAND California, but I never verified it.

    At the airport?!? I would never have thought to look there. Where abouts inside were they? I actually work on the Dulles property but am not sure how far "visitors" are allowed into the airport these days.

    i forget which terminal it was (i was there for four hours - walked the expanse of the property - i want to say C though) but it was one of the toy shops with stuffed animals and the like. they were in a box right next to the cash register.

    since it was in a terminal, i imagine you'd have to sneak past the TSA to get there - or take a back door.

    FWIW, these surfaced at the 'five below' chain in the US for 3.99 a hit.
