    I've seen the Talon Attack and Brother Eye sets at Wal-Mart in Canada.

    Just out of curiosity but is there any physical store that is selling Voltron other than the Lego one?

    Only non-Lego Store brick-and-mortar that I've known to stock the Ideas sets was TRU, and, well...

    Actually, got my Ecto-1 from Indigo/Chapters up here in Canada. But I don't think they'll be stocking Voltron.

    I've seen Lego Ideas sets at Barnes and Nobles before, but I don't go in that often.

    Incredibly surprising find today, an original Milano for 60$ brand new at a Learning Express

    After enjoying Christopher Robin I returned with my package in hand to open the 10 blind bags LEGO sent me alongside my other purchase items. 10 were received, 10 were unique, not a duplicate in the bunch. Sadly none of them were Fantastic Beasts related unfortunately.

    Wound up with:

    Cho
    Dean
    Albus
    Draco
    Luna
    Mad-Eye
    Diggory
    Dobby
    Invisible Harry
    Neville

    A decent selection, sadly I was kind of hoping for a Newt at least. Oh well, I'll probably order some more later in the month and see what crops up. 10 Down, 12 to go. Six from Harry Potter and 6 from Fantastic Beasts. Hope they don't sell out online, wouldn't mind getting more VIP points for a change for these blind bag purchases.

    Still my favourite version of the Milano releases. Room enough for the whole crew... well, potted/baby Groot, anyway.

    I've actually been able to fit all the Guardians into the Milano, plus Mantis for good measure. And it's the minifig Teen Groot that I gave longer legs to. It's cramped, but they all fit :lol 
    Custom Adam Warlock has to chill out on the roof through.

    The OMAC minifigure reminds me of Boros from One-Punch Man.

    Here in the states I have seen the Talon set at Target

    Unless it has added a new feature, Brickseek does not deal in Lego parts. I think you meant BrickOwl, but yeah Bricklink is the big one everyone always talks about. You can also order individual pieces from Lego customer service.

    Barnes and Noble eventually gets them yes but it will be months down the line. Target, Walmart and Amazon will sell them online in a few months. Occasionally you can get lucky at Target and someone will return an online order in store and they will knock it down 5%- 10%

    Nice find. Those Learning Express and the Toys & Games/Calendar stores always have old stock, maybe not that older than what you find in the major retailers. The thing is they are usually priced higher than regular retail which is why they have been there so long, but they are less than you will find on eBay for a retired set, so that's nice.
    There is a collector shop near me that has that first Milano that I pick up and put down every time. They are having a toy show this weekend that I am selling at so if I make enough I will probably grab it this time.

    Brickseek was meant to help him find the Talon set since it lets you search stores

    Current rumors seem to indicate that the Bricktober minifig packs (IW/HP/Ninjago) will become GWP.

    EDIT: LEGO store GWP.
