It seems some light may have been shed on the UK availability of the 2018 Bricktober Minifigure Packs. The four special sets are normally available from Toys R Us stores, but with the retailer all but gone in a number of countries including the UK, many have been keen to see if and how UK LEGO® fans will be able to get their hands on the sets. It now seems the sets will be available from LEGO Stores during November and December. There is no indication if this will include shop.LEGO.com, nor are there any details on exactly how they can be obtained. They could be purchased as a set or given away with certain purchases. Hopefully LEGO will confirm more details nearer the time.

This is really good news! not great since i was hoping to get them with a birthday present in October but never mind. Is there a source for this?

I had a very different response from customer service which suggested that these are not likely to be available in the UK. They suggested that the sets are being treated more like the sets created for comic cons and that they would only be available in Toys R Us stores.
I posted the email response from customer service on reddit.
