[UPDATE 12/29 4pm PST: We can also confirm the set is being sold ahead of schedule at LEGO stores, one of which is the South Coast Plaza, Costa Mesa, CA.]
Today, LEGOLAND in Florida had the brand-new [url="http://www.bobafettfanclub.com/bounty/toys/lego/lego-boba-fett-slave-i-75060/"]LEGO UCS Slave I[/url] (75060) on its shelves for sale, well ahead of the scheduled January 1 release date.
Has anyone already picked up their new LEGO Slave I that was released early? Who's planning to pick it up in store or [url="http://click.linksynergy.com/fs-bin/click?id=69yFOXqQCOk&subid=&offerid=115554.1&type=10&tmpid=2294&RD_PARM1=http%253A%252F%252Fshop.lego.com%252Fen-US%252FSlave-I-75060"]on LEGO.com[/url] starting January 1?
(We checked with LEGO.com about any pre-sale and was told, out of fairness, that no advance sale was planned.)
Helmet nod to Curt Hersey for the head's up and the photo!
