Baby blue Jayko/catapult in new "combo" box

I searched around the boards and hadn't seen anyone mention this one yet, but I apologize if this is old news...

I was at Wal*Mart yesterday and found an endcap of rectangular cardboard boxes, a bit smaller than a tissue box, that appeared to be some type of "storyteller book" set for LEGO. There were two variations: one Clickits and one KK2. The cardboard box was magnetic and opened up like a pencil holder and inside was a comic book as well as two polybags: the baby blue Jayko w/ crossbow and the baby blue "horse" catapult that was in last year's LEGO Easter basket. Next time I'm at Wal*Mart I'll see if I can grab a photo of it if anyone's interested. To the best of my knowledge this is the first time this version of Jayko has been available in the US outside of the chess set.

(EDIT-) Oh! Here you go, Wal*Mart has it listed on their website, though the price in my store was only $8.something. It's a little too steep for me considering I'd only be interested in the minifig, but anyway, there you go...

Ahh I miss Wal Mart... Thanks for telling me what I'm missing.

God Bless,

Keep your eyes open– I don't know yet if this is a WM exclusive, so you never know.

I picked it up the other day. The box is pretty solid, making it collectible. It's a nice package, presentation wise, and the included story book is kinda interesting. I like the minifig very much, but the catapult is kinda weak. It also came with a mini poster which on the other side it displays KK2 items. Pics:

All in all, it was worth the $9 at WM. Thanks for the heads up, Morgan19, I would've never knew about this if you hadn't posted, as WM is avoided by my family and I like the plague.

Hey, just thought I'd mention I've also seen it at Media Play.

I got this the other day as well. Took the fig and am saving the book/catapualt for someone's Christmas present. The catapualt, however, was being sold in the polybag seperately as well for just $1.oo!

A decent buy. The book had some lines and parts not included in LEGO's online comic or instruction comics.

p.s. Sorry to go off topic. It was just funny when I read it.

I kinda like the little minifig, however a dark grey (old grey too) helmet would be much more useful and more accurate as well. By the way, this week's set review is the catapult from this set. Oh for the days of solidly good legos!

Well, I'm a member of that Brickmaster deal from TLC and I got this (minus the comic books) a few months ago for the "UBER SUPRIZE SET OF DOOOOOO...*catches breath*...OOOM" so, it's not a walmart exclucive just a scarecly availible set

The walmart has the catapults for 1.00?

Apparently so. I bought a catapult for $1 in polybag at 5*Below, a small chain of dollar/conveneince stores.
