If you followed one of my previous posts, you would’ve probably found the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America’s Motorcycle (30447) polybag at Toys R Us. It contains only 25 pieces and retails for $3.99. This is also the exact same polybag that will be included in a LEGO promotion from May 27-30 for spending $35 or more.
This version of Captain America has been in a few sets including the Avengers: Age of Ultron sets as well as a couple of the Civil Wars sets but this is the cheapest way to get the minifigure.
The black motorcycle frame is fairly rare as it has only been in two other sets. The motorcycle also has a small sidecar which has a flick-fire missile attached to it with a small clip. The front of the sidecar has another clip to slide Captain America’s shield in.
For what you get with the LEGO Marvel Super Heroes Civil War Captain America’s Motorcycle (30447) polybag, it’s definitely worth looking for at Toys R Us especially if you collect the Super Heroes sets. I would totally spend $4 for it instead of spending $35.
It’s also a little strange that TRU is selling the polybag ahead of a LEGO promo in the same month because that usually doesn’t happen, especially here in the US. If you’re searching for it, the item number is #396626. If the polybags are not on the floor, they’re probably behind a counter somewhere or in the back of house.

My local TRU denied purchase because it’s for a promo this Sunday. Wasn’t gonna argue, I’ll just show up as early as I can on Sunday.
Yeah, the ability to buy these at a store is definitely YMMV (your mileage may vary), as some store will not sell, some stores will. I think it really goes back to their local history if they have run out of stock of promos in the past before the promotion and had angry customers complain.
I have two TRUs near me. One always has them out for sale early, and during the promo. The other will only sell leftovers after the promo. I think it really varies by store.
Some of these promos are promo-only items (shipped for the promo launch and never again), and others are regular sets (shipped in multiple waves, often starting with the promo launch). The regular sets that were already for sale when the promo was announced are never pulled from shelves just to satisfy the promo launch. Regular sets that are new for the promo are a bit easier to snag early, and promo-only items can be almost impossible to get that way because sometimes corporate flags them with a street date that prevents early sales.
