Hobbit polybag available in TRU

 

  • Hobbit polybag available in TRU

    30212: Mirkwood Elf Guard
    The Hobbit, 2012
    More details...
    ©2012 LEGO Group

    Another excellent LotR/Hobbit polybag has surfaced in TRU in the USA. 30212 Mirkwood Elf Guard features a minifig that does not appear in any other Hobbit set so it's a must for Hobbit fans, minifig collectors and polybag aficionados. There's a Mirkwood elf in set 79004 but he doesn't have a dark green hood.

    Although TRU.com will ship internationally, it appears it won't ship this set, so if anyone would be kind enough to ship some over, perhaps in exchange for some Uruk-hai's, please get in touch!

Green Hood! (I know it's available with Dr. Doom, but great to see it in a polybag). Great parts, this whole bag is full of 'win'.

Posted by DaveBey in United States, 19 Nov 2012 07:21

I could order a bunch. How many do you want?

Posted by SapmiSatan in Norway, 19 Nov 2012 07:48

@DaveBey, I would love to buy two.

Posted by obiron17 in United Kingdom, 19 Nov 2012 07:48

Oh man, why do Lego do this! Are we going to end up paying silly prices for this......I want one!!!

Posted by piratemania7 in United States, 19 Nov 2012 07:52

Yes I am actually going to TRU later on, if you need me to get any let me know and how many, i'll pick up whatever they have/let me get. :)

Posted by xowainx in United Kingdom, 19 Nov 2012 07:55

I could do with three of these at least.. If anyone in the states could hook me up I could pay or trade for any of the recent/not so recent Sun polybag sets!

Posted by Markey in Belgium, 19 Nov 2012 08:00

I could use two, I have friends polys to trade, PM if you can help me. Cheers.

Posted by SapmiSatan in Norway, 19 Nov 2012 08:02

I don't have any polybags to trade, but if anyone wants to sell me a couple, I would be very grateful!

Posted by Delatron in United Kingdom, 19 Nov 2012 08:02

Hope there's a chance to get these in the UK somehow - that's a great bag, the parts are awesome!

Posted by atkinsar in United Kingdom, 19 Nov 2012 08:06

That is a great poly. If you ask me, it's got Sun promo written all over it, but the next one won't be until May and I want 2 now ;-)

Posted by Graysmith in Sweden, 19 Nov 2012 08:17

The hood without a cape looks really odd to me. Kinda wish he'd have an elven hairpiece instead.

Not that I'm ever going to get ahold of this anyway, but yeah.

Posted by Carlq in United Kingdom, 19 Nov 2012 08:18

^I had the same thought as @atkinsar. I predict a second-Saturday granny riot for these in WHS next May.

If I may jump on the bandwagon, to any American members who happen to pick up a surplus, I'd love to buy/trade for a couple of these (Sun Promos, or any of the CMFs series 1-8 to trade if there's still interest in them).

Sorry to turn this post into a marketplace, Huw, but this is very exciting news!

Posted by supersympa in Sweden, 19 Nov 2012 08:19

oh i need that one too! :)

Posted by piratemania7 in United States, 19 Nov 2012 08:21

Well, looks like I will be headed to TRU for sure! I will post later what I get and anyone can PM me and we can trade or sell. Anything pirate is clearly my first choice! But I love castle too. :)

Posted by Snickers3112 in United Kingdom, 19 Nov 2012 08:56

This had better come out in the UK. As a LOTR and Hobbit only collector it's a must and will be great alongside escape from mirkwood spiders or as an army builder.

Posted by gunslinger69 in United States, 19 Nov 2012 09:00

TRU will let you order up to 5 just placed order will trade when they get here

Posted by bricksan in United Kingdom, 19 Nov 2012 09:28

I would also have one and happy to pay, it is about time the UK TRU did polybags!!

Posted by sadowsk1 in United States, 19 Nov 2012 09:55

This is of course madness, but right when I saw this post I started to assemble a TRU order to take advantage of all their sales and get free shipping. I can't say I'm really interested in much but if anyone is interested in me picking them up it costs 31.54 for five including sales tax.

Posted by Moexy in Belgium, 19 Nov 2012 09:56

I would also be interested for two of those polybags! such a same you can't order them for Europe :(

Posted by lilmonster777 in Canada, 19 Nov 2012 10:55

If someone is willing to ship to Canada I'll take 2 (I have two kids) pm me please :)

Posted by Nightshroud99 in Canada, 19 Nov 2012 11:59

Wow that is a great polybag! :D

Posted by radiocd in United States, 19 Nov 2012 12:35

I'm planning on checking out TRU today and would be happy to trade if I can find any. I really need a couple of the Uruk-Hai poly.

Posted by DaveBey in United States, 19 Nov 2012 12:42

I checked both stores in Tulsa, Oklahoma with no luck. I'm more than happy to place a bunch of orders online though for folks. $32.37 including shipping and sales tax for five.

Posted by kmvk83 in Netherlands, 19 Nov 2012 13:00

Again, just as with the christmas promotion I feel left behind in the netherlands. All the cool polybag sets seem te be designated as 'persona non grata' in the netherlands.
Uruk hai? Nowhere, frodo? Never heard of him. Super heros? Who are they? Star wars plolybags? it feels like 10 new ones each year. none of them made it to the netherlands. We get stuck with police helicopters and ninjago sets.

Posted by fuelbreak in Canada, 19 Nov 2012 13:16

I will need this set as well, lets hope Canada gets some soon.

Posted by giants54 in Austria, 19 Nov 2012 13:38

I need them too - could anyone in the US get me a bundle (5) of these? and send them to Austria / Europe? For paying and shipping terms feel free to contact me by pm!

Posted by CapnRex101 in United Kingdom, 19 Nov 2012 13:40

This looks like a brilliant polybag, look at those parts! A mushroom, tree parts, a barrel, a dark green hood, a trans-green goblet and a long bow, incredible!

If anybody is able to pick me up three then please PM me. I would be more than happy to trade for any of the Sun polybags which have just passed or pay for them. Many thanks!

Posted by Margot in United States, 19 Nov 2012 14:00

It's available online right now at TRU. Also $25 off of $100 Lego purchase.

Posted by Margot in United States, 19 Nov 2012 14:07

The US TRU website offers the option to ship internationally... They say they ship to 68 countries

Posted by SapmiSatan in Norway, 19 Nov 2012 14:22

They don't ship to Scandinavia.

Posted by Huw in United Kingdom, 19 Nov 2012 14:29

^^ But not this item, it seems...

Posted by Moexy in Belgium, 19 Nov 2012 14:33

They don't ship to Belgium either :(

Posted by iancam33 in United States, 19 Nov 2012 14:36

I've got 5 coming so far. I'd consider getting more for a good trade. pm me anyone interested.

Posted by yys4u in United States, 19 Nov 2012 14:36

I'll be trying to snag a bunch of these too, I've already ordered 5 online and hope to pick up some in stores too. Anyone in the UK hoping to get some of these let me know, I'll be looking to trade for Uruk Hai polys.

Posted by Margot in United States, 19 Nov 2012 14:52

Well, I would be happy to sell and ship or trade. Just message me. I like Star Wars and I would also like to get an Elrond.

Posted by Gandalf the brick in United Kingdom, 19 Nov 2012 15:03

Awesome poly bag lets just hope it comes to England. Hopefully the starwars poly bags are as good as this next year.
Possibly sun promotion next year?

Posted by graallll in United States, 19 Nov 2012 16:20

I would ship this to people in a trade. I need Uruks among other things. Send me a flickr message if you're interested.

Posted by skullsndogbones in United States, 19 Nov 2012 16:36

I am placing an order with TRU as well, not that I should really be spending the $ right now! Anyway, I am ordering the max of 5 of these and I really only need 2. If anyone is interested in the others, please contact me. I'd be willing to either just sell them or trade for Uruk Hai poly bags or Ninjago Hidden Sword poly.

Posted by Odeinoichus in Canada, 19 Nov 2012 17:17

I will need to buy two of these at least if Canadian TRUs stock them for the Holidays.

Posted by txelu in Spain, 19 Nov 2012 17:22

^^skullsndogbones PM sent... I'm in need of help to get some of these polys.

Posted by Brickbase in Netherlands, 19 Nov 2012 17:23

Would love to have one of these. The people at the other side of the pacific must be quite happy with this! I am willing to trade some stuff, or even buy.

Posted by rnsrobot in Canada, 19 Nov 2012 18:31

Well, I'll be blowing $30 on these if they show up at my TRU. Elves elves elves. I have like, two or three extra Lucius Malfoys for long hair too!

Posted by rolvtd in United States, 19 Nov 2012 20:54

I am going to peruse my local TRU for these and pick up as many as I can. If I do, I would be willing to trade them for either the Hawkeye Ploy or the Uruk-Hai Poly.

Posted by yys4u in United States, 19 Nov 2012 21:18

I checked my local TRU. No such luck. But I did manage to get some Hostess on the way back :D

Posted by bluelion3 in United States, 19 Nov 2012 22:23

Best Hobbit set yet.

Posted by DaveBey in United States, 19 Nov 2012 22:29

I placed three orders online for the maximum of five in each order. Based on the number of folks who messaged me, I'll probably order some more tomorrow.

I did end up calling one of the stores and the nice lady couldn't find the polybag in the system. I'll call the other store here tormorrow and see if they're able to find it by Product ID and if so, when/if they expect any locally.

Posted by skullsndogbones in United States, 19 Nov 2012 23:12

For any of you who have the TRU Mastercard, they are offering free shipping with no minimum purchase if you use your TRU Mastercard. However, I ordered 5 of this polybag and was charged the shipping cost. After a lengthy call with customer service, I got my order shipped for free. They said that "they have had many complaints about this and will get it fixed in a week or two" Really? Shouldn't that be more of a priority? Anyway, if you have a TRU Mastercard, watch your shipping charge.

Posted by kwkw in United States, 20 Nov 2012 01:59

Got 20 to trade for other polys and figs. Looking specifically for tc 14, hulk, spartan, Romans and shadow arf trooper. Let me know what u have with a pm. Im based in California will trade with anyone in the US. Thanks

Posted by Zordboy in Australia, 20 Nov 2012 03:01

I love that tree.

Posted by legobuilder5463 in Netherlands, 20 Nov 2012 04:19

I would love to have one or two. But as already mentioned polybags in the Netherlands are very hard to find. I have ordered a couple now from ebay.

Posted by emirikol in Spain, 20 Nov 2012 05:08

they do not appears on TRU anymore :(

Edit 1: it appears listed again.
Edit 2: I dont know why but it dissapears sometimes.

Posted by Droeni in Germany, 20 Nov 2012 08:48

Where can i get it in Germany???

Posted by emirikol in Spain, 20 Nov 2012 09:02

-DROENI- I think there is no way to get it in Europe, only if anybody sends its to you from EEUU or buying it on eBay :(

Posted by Lawrence T in Singapore, 20 Nov 2012 10:35

I m from Singapore, I wishes to buy some of these from overseas sellers, I don't have for trading.

Wonder if any kind souls can help me to get it ?

Thanks

Posted by The_Creator in United States, 20 Nov 2012 10:55

I'm gonna need a few of these for the epic pieces...
Will Uruk-hai polys be avaible in the US sometime?

Posted by Thecoolestgriffin in United States, 20 Nov 2012 11:45

Does anyone think it comes with his hair? I sure hope it does...

Posted by emirikol in Spain, 20 Nov 2012 11:54

does anybody knows if TRU still sells them? i can't find them anymore.

Posted by miro78 in United States, 20 Nov 2012 13:07

It appears they pulled them from the web, and I only managed to get 1 at the store, since I said asked for it. They had to get it from the stockroom. The store clerk said that they are holding the inventory to give them out with the other Hobbit sets to launch soon. I am not sure how they will give them out. Perhaps, buy over certain amount and get one free, or buy a certain set(s) and get one free.

Posted by Zander in United Kingdom, 20 Nov 2012 16:52

Rol,

I would be interested in 2 of these. I have 2 of the Hawkeyes to trade. I just PMed you. Please let me know.

Thanks,

Zander

Posted by zeke1521 in United States, 20 Nov 2012 17:07

I called and one store got them in today. When we went to pick them up they had them stashed under the customer service counter and not on the racks. If you go to TRU make sure to ask a person to see if they are hiding them. This store got one case which was 50 of them.

Posted by Model Gal in United States, 20 Nov 2012 17:59

Its no longer showing on TRU website. I'm glad I ordered some before they were gone.

Posted by putster in United States, 21 Nov 2012 00:21

My local TRU in Sacramento had a bunch out with the other Lego stuff. Didn't seem to be a limit on how many I could buy, so I bought six. Didn't want to be greedy.

Posted by icey in Denmark, 21 Nov 2012 05:54

Alright... we're gathering patience for the UK newspaper promo... again!

Posted by tomtom27 in United States, 21 Nov 2012 10:08

I saw this set on tru.com and before I could even realize what happened, I had purchased 5 of them. Can't wait until they arrive!

Posted by Margot in United States, 21 Nov 2012 12:56

First 5 arrived for me from TRU today.

Posted by ObiSeanLegobi in United States, 21 Nov 2012 14:31

I bought 21 of this sweet set at my local TRU today (in order to qualify for the buy over $100 LEGO, get $25 discounted deal, which ends today). So I essentially got them all for 25% off, which is a pretty good deal to find in a TRU around the holidays. They had about 30 left on the pegs. Some will be stocking stuffers and I will probably trade some for other polys, but I really love this set and want to keep the rest! A perfect polybag in my opinion. And really, can one ever have enough elves?

Posted by Carlq in United Kingdom, 21 Nov 2012 14:31

Quick urgent plea - I messaged/emailed a kind forum member through ths topic two days ago, who asked me to message him through the forum - but unfortunately his Brickset "name" didn't come up on the email he sent me, and I can't remember which post it was!

Rather than spam every US posting on this topic, If "Jakesnake" could please email me again with his Brickset name - or if anyone else can tell it to me, given the fragment of his email address I used here - I will be delighted to resume our correspondence.

Cheers folks,

Carl Q.

Posted by yys4u in United States, 21 Nov 2012 16:18

^thats me! Sorry, I thought the emails came with forum name attached haha. I just got some intel from my friends in the area and know which stores have them, I'm on my way out to pick some up!

Posted by ryderfan in United States, 22 Nov 2012 01:48

Piece count on the bag is 27

Posted by graallll in United States, 22 Nov 2012 08:28

Ok. Let me rephrase that. Once I get some I'll be happy to ship to people. Sorry I didn't make that clear. I'll post another comment once I get them, or an image of it on Flickr.

Posted by rolvtd in United States, 23 Nov 2012 01:50

Hey,

As a follow up, I was able to secure a few of the elf hobbit polys (16 with 4 already on hold). I have hopefully followed up with everyone that messaged me so far, but if anyone else is interested, please let me know, it's first come first serve as I am trading for the Uruk-Hai Poly or the Heroica Ganrash Poly.

Posted by Acadia in United States, 24 Nov 2012 11:44

I picked up one yesterday. TRU was selling them for 4.99 USD each. It didn't look like anyone else discovered the display.

Posted by graallll in United States, 24 Nov 2012 11:46

^If you don't mind my asking, what state?
