Re: [US/CA] LEGO Shop Boxing Day Sale 2012

Why should they discount product that is selling at regular price? LEGO isn't a sleepy little hobby anymore, it's one of the most popular toys on the market and it moves without any discount incentive nowadays. Yeah, we're all spoiled from how things used to be, but things change, and so has the pop...

Re: Got a E-mail From Toys R Us on Why they Overcharge on Le

Not sure if I am willing to make my rounds around NJ Its probably because NYC is both a tourist and...

It's such an obvious scam. Shame on Amazon for now being more responsive to the alerts we've been sending them.

Re: [USA] Target half lego inventory on clearance 15% - 50%

Sick. I went to three today, and like you, one had the 30% off prices. The selection was much more limited but mirror what you found. Gonna go back to the others tomorrow because they have a better stick. Would love to get a T-6 at 50 off

Edit: one addition - they had a ton of CMF4 for 1.48 too

Re: Will the sales get better?

Does anyone else think TRU may be in serious economic trouble? If they need to habitually have these 25-30% off sales to move product, their profit margins must be almost nominal. I'm sure Lego offers TRU most that then 30% off msrp most independent retailers enjoy, but nevertheless, lately it's app...

Re: TRU Buy 1 Get 1 50% off ALL Lego Contruction sets

My wife took advantage of this deal for me for Father's Day. She picked up my first train set for me, 7938 - Passenger Train and for the 50% set, got the 7189 - Mill Village Raid :) that's only a savings of $35 over a total purchase of $175 (or $210 msrp). just slightly over 13% d/c. you could have...

FS: 2x Sealed 7097 Troll's Dark Fortress

I have two copies of 7097 that I'd like to get rid of. I paid $70.68 (plus tax) for them after Christmas at Target, and I'm basically willing to let them go for the price I paid. I know they are worth more on Bricklink but I'd rather give someone here who is NOT a reseller a chance to enjoy them bef...
