ToysRUs.com Preps for LEGO Collectible Minifigs (US)

I received an alert earlier today showing that ToysRUs.com had set 8683, Collectible Minifigures Series 1, on sale.

When I clicked through, however, it appeared to just be a placeholder. The good news is that you can set up an e-mail alert for when it does go live.

Prices are listed as $1.99 with no option to buy a case outright (at least that I see). You could always buy 60 bags (which would equal the contents of a case) and take advantage of free shipping. Also, unlike the current LEGO Store policy, there doesn't appear to be a limit as to how many you can buy.

As of today, my Toys R Us bricks and mortar store still doesn't have these items in. Distribution channels and logistics may put you in a similar situation depending upon your location in the US.

So click through via the link below and at least sign-up to be notified when these go live.

Update (6/4/10):
The placeholder now has the figures listed for $2.49 (USD), $0.50 above the recommended sale price! We will have to see if this holds once TRU.com goes live with the figs.
