| I was wondering why the Bricktober sets (HP and Jurassic World) are still pending
to be added to the BL catalog?
Seems they are being sold on Ebay and other venues for quite a while now and
in serious quantities, so they must be released in some countries.
Even on BL they are already being sold:

As we have no Toys'r'Us in Belgium I have no idea whether they were already
in the stores last week (perhaps some German members can fill in?).
Is BL awaiting some kind of "official" release or waiting for the US release?

I think they are waiting on any official release.
I found a Dutch website showing an image from Promobricks stating the dates of
release:
5005254 - August 27 to September 02
5005255 - September 03 to September 09
5005257 - September 10 to September 16
5005256 - September 17 to September 23

Not sure why these sets are called "Bricktober"

| True, the name does not make much sense anymore now the remaining European branch
of TRU decided to release these in September (they did so last year as well when
there was still an American TRU), but originally these TRU specials were released
in October only, hence the name. I did notice the boxes sine last year no longer
mention "bricktober" anywhere, but I figured the name is better known in the
community than "TRU specials".
