LEGO Airport 3182 $72.99 @Meijer online (possible free S&H)

Lego 3182 Airport

This deal works best for those outside of states with Meijer in them (MI, IL, IN, KY and OH) so you don't have to pay tax (I don't believe you do at least).

If you don't have a Meijer account yet or if you can sign up as another household member, read this first: You can get a code e-mailed to you by pre-registering here for free standard S&H on your first order over $75. That means you can throw in this seaplane for the already nice price of $7.99 (but you're essentially only paying $3.04 for it because you get to waive the $4.95 S&H). If you don't like the seaplane, you can pick another cheap filler to get over $75 on your order.

So if you don't have to pay tax and this is your first order and you preregister for the free S&H code, your deal would breakdown like this:

3182 - $72.99
3178 - $7.99
TOTAL SHIPPED: $80.98
MSRP: $110.98
Savings: 27%

If this isn't your first order, you pay for S&H so I assume you wouldn't want to get a filler (unless you want the seaplane anyway for $7.99):

3182 - $72.99
S&H - $4.95
TOTAL SHIPPED - $77.94
Savings: 22%

You can save another 2% by going to fatwallet or mrrebates before clicking through to meijer for cashback.

Hope it helps someone! :)

Yesterday they had the little repair truck at like 50% off but it sold out.

Awesome! Thanks for the advice regarding the account and code. I got free shipping, but it does look like they charge tax ($8.25 tax on $119.96 total = $128.21), even though I live in MN. Still, I bought:

3x LEGO Kingdoms Prison Tower Rescue
1x LEGO Kingdoms Outpost Attack

And I used mrrebates and a cash back card. It's tough to get those castle sets at any significant discount, let alone 30% and 25% respectively. Thanks again!

Cool, glad it helped. :)

Too bad about the sales tax though, I didn't think they would charge outside of those 5 states. I found this list on their website, looks like these are the 25 states which they will charge sales tax to:

Arkansas
Florida
Illinois
Indiana
Iowa
Kansas
Kentucky
Michigan
Minnesota
Nebraska
Nevada
New Jersey
North Carolina
North Dakota
Ohio
Oklahoma
Rhode Island
South Dakota
Tennessee
Utah
Vermont
Washington,
West Virginia
Wisconsin
Wyoming

I checked mrrebates and I saw meijers was 2% cash back but didn't get how to get it. I also use my cash back credit card whenever I buy Lego only 1% back tho

I also got charged tax in Florida.

Too bad Prison Tower Rescue is out of stock. I would have ordered 4 at that price. I think I own 5-6 copies of that set which should be enough to build a moderate Dragon Knights Fortress.

You need to open MrRebates account (if you interested I can give you referral) and then after every time you click through and complete a purchase from participating stores (s@h was at 6% commission all December BTW) your cash would post to your account a few days later. You can cash it out via check or PayPal in ~3 months. I've been using them for last couple years now, I'd say they are the most dependable company in cash back world (fatwallet, ebates, Upromise etc) as they seems to "lose" least amount of transactions

Thanks for posting this, we don't have Mejier here, and it would be tax free for me. Do they often carry a lot of sets on-line?

The airport is tempting but I'm trying to hold back. The seaplane seems to be sold out but they have the extra large grey base plate for $12.99 (has a "click for price" button) which is a few dollars off MSRP.

Mrrebates "lost" quite a few of my transactions, but credited my account for each and every one after I waited the requisite 30 days and filed a complaint. So, at least their customer service is top notch. I just requested my Feb money (so purchases made in November), so we'll see how long it takes for my paypal account to receive the money.

I haven't used Mrrebates but I've used Fatwallet and Ebates for years without too much trouble.

Fatwallet is currently at 2% for Mejier. I've had "lost" transactions too but if you fill out the request they research and credit back. I like how you can request your money via paypal after 3 months.

Ebates (1.5% for Mejer) has worked too, they only pay out quarterly (check or Paypal) on a schedule.

This is great information. I almost feel stupid for not knowing/finding out about these sites before now... total loss of all kinds of cash.

Thanks for explaining it guys, I really appreciate it.
