LEGO Olympic Team GB Minifigures - Now Available in UK

Post by Toys N Bricks » Mon Jun 25, 2012 3:01 pm

Rob writes in to let us know the LEGO Olympic Team GB Minifigures are now available for sale in United Kingdom/Britain. He reports finding them at WH Smiths for £2.49 which is about £0.5 higher than normal.

"Bought 2 partial cases with 100 figs in total and got a total of 9 sets don't know what the breakdown was. Asked if they had any more but was told their initial stock allocation was only 2 boxes of which i had what was left. I've been told my local TRU will be putting theirs out tomorrow so will get some more then and if I can help out I will."

Thanks for the pics. Way jealous.

The archer's hair is great. Is that a new mold?

Nope, just Superman's hair in a different colour. :)


But the box art looks really nice. Already have a person in the UK to trade with. Can't wait! By the way, the box distribution from Brickset is as follows:

6 each of the Boxer, Weightlifter and Horse Rider
7 each of the Swimmer, Relay Runner, Judo Fighter, Tennis Player, Gymnast and Archer

Those are great. The case itself will be worth a mint!

I ended up buying 2 sets from a UK Ebay seller...they won't ship til July 1st though per the post, which ma seem fishy since they are available now? :crazy: If it all comes through ok I'll post the seller name.

I'm kind of excited to see them. My daughter will literally flip for the gymnast! :lol:

Will see how much it'll cost me to buy just one of each from eBay or Bricklink...hope it won't be TOO bad.

I would also like to purchase a set or trade for a set.
I have mixed feelings about new releases: I can't wait to see and get the new sets... but I can't figure out where I'm gonna put them or store them.
