Re: 71017 LEGO Batman Series Minifigures Now Available at Ta

Yeah, unfortunately people are going to buy an entire case to take home, cherry pick the ones they want, and return the rest. I wish stores would stop allowing CMF returns which would put an end to this abusive practice.

Re: [USA] ToysRUs LEGO Sets on sale from 26-40% off

While some good deals are to be found in TRU sales, most only remove the bloated RRP that TRU puts on the sets, so always remember to do your homework and check LEGO's site for the real RRP before succumbing to TRU's '20%' sales

Re: First 2016 LEGO Ideas Results: Old Fishing Store

Color me surprised that such an 'ideas' set would be picked.. Interesting turn of events if they do not gut it.

The funny feeling is that this may be another 'deadpool' set where this is the only set that has Strange in it

Re: First Image for LEGO Ghostbusters 75828 Ecto-1 & 2 Set

Yeah, the adverts they are playing on TV makes me think that it is a drama, because not one thing made me laugh during it. It does not help its case, when usually trailers have the funniest parts in it to attract people to see it and I did not laugh during that either. My guess is the best thing to ...

Re: lego Hulk Polybag

Was this story brought back in error, or are some TRUs actually putting these out on sale in May of 2016?
Are they getting fresh stocks, or is this really old news that some TRUs put out left over polys on the end caps?

Re: [TnB] 71012 Disney Series Minifigures LEGO Review

Typically CMF's are 'sold out' at S@H by reappear in a week or two, I think it occurs because I'm not sure if LEGO lists CMFs as 'backordered' or not. Bottom line, there are typically two shipments that go out to stores so everyone panic buys, or tries to profiteer on them with those desperate to bu...

Re: Captain America's Motorcycle at TRU

Yeah, you may have to ask for them as some stores do not put them out as they want to have some left for the promo. But they are in the system with a price so they should be able to sell them, but it is up to the policy of the store manager.

Re: LEGO April 2016 Promotions & Calendar - Free Mr.Freeze M

You may have difficulty getting two Mr. Freeze's in store. I was told that because this is an exclusive minifigure (aren't all store promos exclusive?) that my two separate purchases, both over $200, would not qualify for two Mr. Freezes. Not surprising, the store I frequent have been doing this fo...

Re: LEGO Disney Collectable Minifigures 71012 Revealed

I am a bit surprised. I mean I know that LEGO loves to make all female figures 'rare' (i.e. only 3 per box), but a bit surprising to see this in a Disney CMF set.

Re: [USA] The Big Amazon Easter LEGO Sale

Guys, just a heads up. The Lego Friends Heartlake Hot Air Balloon has a 50% mark up on Amazon, so the original price of $29.99 is not correct, the actual price on shop.lego.com is $19.99, so the sale is not 47% off, but actually 20% off. Check it out yourselves: http://shop.lego.com/en-US/Heartlake...

Re: CMF 2 for $5

Yeah, most of the stores around by me have not had any CMFs for some time. I am starting to think that most stores where I live (not just TRU) have had it in selling the CMFs, and maybe get 1 box, if that now.

Can you link to the source of the rumour? Rumours have no sources. Someone says "Oh no! They are currently sold out!" and someone else picks up on it and it becomes 'news' even without any proof. S@H often times list sets, including mini figure series, as 'Sold Out' when they don't have a...

Re: LEGO Star Wars The Freemaker Adventures & 75098 Assault

I mean, if you had to chose Ewok Village or this, is that even a question? Even if you are not an Ewok fan, the only way you'd like this better is if you are just a die-hard Hoth fan. Just another way TLG is after profit vs. good sets. I think they thought they could jump the price $50 by including...

That is not the point. I think for 249 USD this set should have an AT-AT in it.... Otherwise I have no idea how they rationalize charging 249.99 USD for this set.

Re: Olaf's Summertime Fun (30397) polybag @ Target

I also saw these at the LEGOLAND Discovery Center store as well (though could be 4.99 USD there, I did not check the price). They may or may not be in your local Discovery Center, but I saw them in the IL store (not the regular LEGO store, but LEGOLAND discover Center).
