If they’re anywhere, I’d guess FAO Schwartz. They have a huge Angry Birds section.

The last time I was in NYC it was one of three stores I just had to revisit. I ended up buying a fabric map of the world with loads of Velcro figurines to stick on it. It covers an entire wall in my kid’s room. (The two other stores were B&H for camera gear and Strand book store.)

You will find for sure in Toys R Us at Times Square.

Hi Cosmo,

I may be incorrect on this but I am not sure the new telepod karts for Sub Zero of AB GO have been released to the retail market yet in the US.

I have a search with email response for these AB GO, Series 2, telepods on Ebay. No responses to date. I check various Target, K-Mart and Toy R Us stores in my travels each week and have not seen any of these for sale. Some Walmart stores stock these and others choose not to.

There was a picture posted on ABN of them being on a store shelve in a Far East country (noted by the writing on the sales sticker) about a month ago. With that picture I started the permanent search on Ebay. Also check Amazon each week and nothing has turned up there yet either.

What I see on the retail end is that most of the store still have the original release of the GO telepods still on their shelves. These items are not selling very fast. In addition, there are still a lot of the AB Star Wars 2 telepods remaining on the shelves and these were released prior to November of last year.

@wrw01 I also check e-bay regulary and haven’t found any offer yet. I asked at Hasbro’s customer service and they answered that new karts would be in retail in April, so I hoped they are already in stores in US. Anyway, thank you.

Hi @nacho18

I have 13 Series-One karts. Two of the 13 are exclusive karts only available in the Toys R Us stores. To my knowledge, there are only 13 karts for Series One.

I would suggest you might visit Ebay and you might get lucky and submit some low bids on the ones you are missing. If you have purchased the GO telepod packs there should be a little fold-out flyer inside the packs listing all the Series One telepods and how they are being sold in which sets. You should also be able to find the ones in the Toys R Us packs on Ebay.

Hello: wrw01: thank you for your promptly response. Last week end I went to shop at ToyR’s . San Mateo Ca. They have for know only 5 boxes only one Kart. And only 1 multi package which comes with 2 Karts. So I got the 6 karts …!!! One of them it’s Bomb Bird on a Black Kart . This one opens two Karts : which ones are
– Big Bang .
– Big Bang special Edition.
Both for play-drive at Seedway Episode.
I really don’t know if this is Normal for al users …!!! That situation happens to me.
Know!!! I have 6 Karts but on the game I can use 7 Karts!!! Is this happens to you ..!!!
Know about the fold-out flyer on all unique sold separately are 11 pictures of the available …!!! But on the back if the Package you see only 7. 1 Kart: exclusive , available only as a single figure…!!!
I don’t know if they are last pieces to sell or a new type of box into the Series1..!!!
I check all over and they sell what I have and what I see on the back of the box and on the fold-out flyer …!!! I don’t know why you and platium have 13 if I count only 11 . I still don’t see Terence all over.
The only place that sells maybe all 11 one Kart box it’s Wallmart Store … So ; where are the others two…!!!

Below is a link to my album where the 13 karts are pictured. The first two are from the Toys R Us exclusives.

Hi @nacho18

Ebay has it all and you do not have to pay for gas and wear and tear on your car. Also state tax may be eliminated.

So I figured that since one of the power-ups was a Target kart, that I would look at the local Target store for my telepods. Sure enough, they had lots of them. I got the deluxe multi-pack (with five telepods) on sale for $11.99. And two different multi-packs (with two telepods each) on sale for $4.95 each.

I’m not sure if they are on sale at all Target stores, but it might be worth a look there first. I haven’t seen them this cheap anywhere else…

***Please note that I am referring to the original ABGO telepods, not the series 2. This information is intended for anyone thinking about trying telepods for the first time like I just did***
