Re: The End of Toys R Us - Is This The End of Toys?

Where I grew up, Toys R Us rolled into town and put Children's Palace out of business with better selection and more glitzy marketing. Now it has come full circle. Such is Retail.

Re: Target USA Spring Summer April clearance!

No clearance as of yesterday in the Durham, NC location (South Square).

And if there *were* markdowns, the ebay scavengers would probably nab them all by 9 a.m. :( They're like reverse Minecraft zombies - only coming out when the sun rises.

Re: [USA] DC 76025 - Green Lantern 40% off at Target.com

Did you notice that the Lego City Hovercraft Arrest 60071 was down to $20.24. I found it at the store and did a price match at customer service. This makes it less than half regular retail price I tried this and customer service said that they do not price match clearance prices, even if it's throu...

Re: Wal*Mart clearance 2016

Good info, bigfatbrain. It explains several strange things that I've noticed.

Not a single bit of Lego clearance that I could find at the Hillsborough NC Walmart :(

If the Airjitsu deal is over at TrU, you price match @ Target and your order is $50 or more, you'll get their minifigure gift pack for free. Especially good deal if you have the Red Card, so that it mostly cancels taxes.

Re: Target cartwheel dimensions %off

Best Buy's reduced pricing didn't include the most recently released fun packs, so this could be a good way to get the newest stuff at non-gougy prices. I fully agree that Lego was overly optimistic in their initial price point. Luckily the economic system has a way of taking care of that ;-)

Looks like Cole, out on a hot date :-)

I'm going to hope that it gets marked down in the post-ValDay sale. Probably won't, but I've seen it happen with other polybags.

Re: Dimensions fun packs $7.50 on amazon

Best Buy is price matching and, if you have paid for their Game Club membership, it drops the price to $6/figure. Might be worth it for some folks but, since both Amazon and Best Buy charge me tax AND it's easy to swing by for in-store pickup, BB was the better deal this time.

Re: KMART Lego Sale

I was getting my daughter to bed, as well, and missed out. If anyone bought more than one and was willing to ship it, please PM me. I would be building & playing with it with my child, not flipping it.

Thanks!

Re: Target summer clearance

I've been monitoring the price on the Ultra Agents Mission HQ 70165 (DCPI 204-00-0226) and it's finally going on clearance (though not yet at all stores). In the Raleigh/Durham area many stores had dropped it to $89. One store had it for $69 (bought that one, sorry). I also saw the Ultra Agents dril...

Re: [Target] Ultra Agents HQ no longer on website?

This set is finally on clearance. In the Raleigh/Durham area some stores are dropping it to ~89 dollars. I was able to get one for $70. Good hunting!

Edit: Correction - many places here are dropping it to 84.98

Great job! You got one of the reasonable managers. She will be shunned by the rest of the tribe, for demonstrating fairness and logic.

Re: Target summer clearance

I had a strange instance today where Brickseek inventory app showed the Ultra Agents HQ for $73.99 earlier in the day, but then it jumped back up to $99 later. Haven't been able to get to a store to confirm.

Re: Walmart Summer LEGO Clearance 2015

Yes, each store manager can discount their clearance items for what they want. Part of it is due to how much they need to clear out and how stubborn they are at holding out on a higher price. I'm starting to understand this, though to me it's a truly terrible user experience. If your brand is built...

Re: Walmart Summer LEGO Clearance 2015

Yeah, you're right on the Turtle Lair. That was priced right. Mea culpa. But the Arctic Base camp should have been less than $74. On the brickseek tool I see that places around town that sold out of it did so for prices including $30, $45, and $60. The exact exchange was that I brought the arctic se...

Re: Walmart Summer LEGO Clearance 2015

The Walmart in Hillsborough, NC had both the Turtle Lair Invasion and the Arctic Base Camp in the Clearance section, but both rang up at $74.00. When I brought them to customer service and pointed this out, I got a shrug.

"Don't know. Don't care. Walmart."
