They'll be released this summer

I love Cleopatra, the cavewoman, guy in the dinosaur suit, the gangster and the zookeeper.

They are available for pre-order at TRU at MSRP, $2.99 with free shipping over $75. I did this for series 4 and I was able to sit in my own home and try and figure out what was in each bag, instead of getting weird looks at the store.

I think they are scheduled to ship Aug 16th.

I love the zookeeper, mainly b/c of the monkey!

I LOVE this series. My problem is that DH drank the kool aid recently and one of us needs to be sane.

Did you keep all of the extras or were you able to return the unopened packages?

I did return some unopened, you only get store credit at TRU if you return an online order in-store, but I'm OK with that and you have 90 days to return. I think I almost got a whole set the last time and I bought maybe 25-30?

It was the way to go last time so I didn't make extra trips to TRU trying to find them or make endless phone calls to the Lego Store and TRU asking if they came in or not.

Ah, those are so cute. My kids aren't that excited by minifigs, though, so I'll probably resist.

I have been wondering about the Series 5 mini-figures. I'm
so glad that you posted!!

Brickset.com is reporting sighting at US TRU stores (and Five Below). Let the hunt begin!

[alien_host]

I got my preorder from TRU. We got 9 of the 16. I'll have to hunt down the other 7 (and some extras we want). They are cute. I wonder if Lego will make a Buckingham Palace set since the Royal Guard would be perfect for it Although the palace might cost as much as the Taj Mahal did!

My neighbor just bought some at our Toys R Us. She bought me 10.

Now I need to go back and buy LOTS more!!
