Bricktober at Toys R Us: Four Limited Edition Minifig Packs

Today we are talking again about the four packs of limited edition minifigs (LEGO ref. 5005254, 5005255, 5005256 and 5005257) which should in principle be sold / offered by the Toys R Us brand at the start of the school year.

This will at least be the case in Germany as indicated in the available flyer. These packs will be free from 40 € purchase in LEGO products.

However, nothing indicates that the offer will be available in France: In Germany, Austria and Switzerland, the Toys R Us stores are taken over by the Irish Smyth Toys, this is not the case in France. In the USA, the Barnes & Noble brand will distribute the Harry Potter pack (ref. 5005254), other brands will have exclusivity for the other planned packs.

It should be noted in passing that the Toys R Us logo initially present on these packs has been removed. There is talk of direct distribution by LEGO in some countries where Toys R Us has not existed for a few weeks.

For the moment, Toys R Us France, placed since last July in receivership with an observation period of six months, has still not confirmed that these boxes of four characters will be sold / offered in its stores and on his website. I think that if Toys R Us France does not distribute these packs, there is a chance that LEGO will therefore do so directly with us also via its official online store and in the LEGO Stores.

Below, the individual references of the planned packs, you can at least try to find them on eBay:
