Apples dropped us a line to say that Target is showing a display for the Dacta Community Minifigure Collection, listing it as an exclusive. This may be why the US LEGO Shop at Home store didn't show it for sale, but other countries did. Still unconfirmed at this point, but an intriguing find. Thanks Apples!
That still leaves the Historical/Fairy Tale Minifig Collection up in the air. I was most excited by this one, so hopefully we will hear more about this soon!
