Re: Wal*Mart Summer 2013 Clearance

Has anybody seen the City Helicopter Rescue set on clearance at Wally's? Walmart exclusive to my knowledge.

Re: [USA] Target Clearance Finds Summer 2013

Everything that was on sale is now back to full price. A few sets got to 30% before they went up to full price again. I've still never seen more than 30% off a Lego set at target in my life..looks like that will continue.

Re: May the 4th be with you (2013)

Yeah, I ordered mine within the first minute they were on sale and got the same back ordered email. I wonder how fast you had to order to make the cut for immediate shipping? Either way at that price I am more then happy to wait it out. Me too, I placed my order within 30 seconds past 12 pm on Fri ...

Re: May the 4th be with you (2013)

I use the expression figuratively of course. I do hope I am wrong, however. If I'm Lego, I just don't see the need for markdowns anymore - people will buy anyway for the minifigure. We shall see.

20 bucks says nothing is on sale and those offers are the extent of things.

Re: USA Sale: LEGO Jabba's Palace on sale for 27% off

I took about 1/2 hour out of my day yesterday morning and bought 4 sets from a b&m Target after the price match. At some point I'll list them on ebay with a BIN. If they don't sell all I have to do is return them to the store. With 89 days left as part of their return policy its a pretty safe g...

Re: JABBA PALACE - LEGO TO STOP PRODUCTION

It's gone again on amazon. I'm telling you, don't expect to get it at less than RRP again. Yes, it's ridiculous, but these aren't people like us buying em- it's people who don't know any better. The lemmings are out in full force. :)

Re: JABBA PALACE - LEGO TO STOP PRODUCTION

It will be back. There must have been an initial rush from the speculators who don't understand how these things work. It's not like they ended production now. That would be stupid, considering the Rancor Pit is only a few months old and the Sail Barge is due this summer. Agreed, it'll be back, but...

You're damn right it does. I just bought another one today and put it away. I don't expect to see it under MSRP again until it retires.

Re: Barnes and noble

The email says the sale is good for 4 days, so through Sunday 3/31. Assuming stores are open on Easter, I don't even know for sure either way. Speaking of Easter, has anyone seen the Brick Bible? I thought it was a giant LEGO book with facts and such but it is actually Bible stories with LEGO's use...

Re: [USA] Kmart.com Additional 50% off Clearance HURRY

I hit up the Chicago K Marts on Addison and Elston. The one of Addison had a couple of Lego Mining Trucks as well as SW Planets. I did take one of the two Tie Fighters for my son...but the other Tie Fighter box had a hole and could possibly be missing a bag as a result. The Elston K Mart did have t...

Re: [USA] Kmart.com Additional 50% off Clearance HURRY

Wow, wish I would have read your post before stopping by the des Plaines store just now! Apparently you cleaned out the tie fighters as I saw none. The big city really sucks for clearance, doesn't it? Have you hit any others in the local futility exercise?

Re: Poss Target major price cut of Jabba's Palace

Wow, that seems almost impossible, but the pictures prove it, I guess. That would NEVER happen in my area- there'd be a feeding frenzy at a 20% discount. I actually just got back from my target and jabba's palace scanned a full $119.00; all they had that was clearance was the MF mummy set, the entir...

Re: [USA] Walmart Clearance Sale

Had to make some returns at Walmart today, and the guy standing behind me with his little guy was returning a Destiny's Bounty. I politely asked the sales clerk for the item after his return; it wouldn't scan to give me a price. I headed over to the clearance aisle and asked the guy working there on...
