Re: [US] Walmart Black Friday Ad -Update pg2

I checked out just after 8am local time here.

The Lex Luthor set rang up at ~$10.5 ($15 - 30%) and the Iron Man Malibu set was ~$24.50 ($35 - 30%) so they were discounted an additional 30% off the reduced prices.

Re: [US] Walmart Black Friday Ad -Update pg2

I was in store this morning and picked up a few sets at 30% off. The Gunship did not ring up an additional 30% off since it was already marked down to $79.99. However, the Lex Luthor and Iron Man Malibu sets were marked down and did ring up an additional 30% off the already discounted prices.

There was no SDCC Venom. It was a black symbiote suit Spider-man variant. They are a little different.

Re: LEGO Black Friday 2013 VIP Early Access (USA & Canada)

This was a great deal for me. I ordered the Winter Village Cottage and after 5% Shop Discover cashback, $15 in rewards points (3x), and selling the Holiday set #2 for $25, I scored this one for <$65. Now to see what, if any, discounts are offered on Friday.

Re: [USA] Batman Tumbler Chase 36% off LEGO Deal

I think the vehicles look pretty sub-par but this set is probably worth $25 for the 3 minifigures alone. It's very unlikely we are going to get another TDKR Batman, Bane, or Gordon.

Re: Toys R Us Online Only

Already out of stock. They now have the Winter Village set in stock, but they bumped up the price from $100 to $120. Typical TRU pricing shenanigans, but the deal was great while it lasted. I ordered 3 separate HTF sets.

Re: Toys R Us Online Only

Interesting that they had the Horizon Express marked down to MSRP at $130 earlier this morning when I placed my order. Now they got rid of the discount and marked it up to $140.

Thanks for the heads up! These prices are just insane! Though I guess not as insane as the Walmart website glitch.

Re: USA Toys R Us LEGO Sale - 38% off TMNT Baxter Robot Ramp

I had the free $10 gift card coupon from the Wendy's kids meal and the cashier couldn't apply it since I was getting the free Christmas tree promo. It wouldn't allow both promos to go through on the same transaction, so the manager just dropped the price by $10. I got the LR Constitution Train set a...

Re: The Second Massive November 2013 LEGO Sale at Amazon USA

There are some great deals out there right now, but every time I see these huge discounts from Amazon I can't help but think that LEGO sets at MSRP are very overpriced.

Re: TRU free Palpatine's Arrest w/ purchase of Star Wars UCS

The X-wing was in stock for several days during the Y-wing promotion. It sold out and came back in stock on Monday I think. It looks like it sold out again yesterday afternoon. If TRU pulled it, they sure took their time. I got my order in on Monday and it already shipped.

Re: TRU free Palpatine's Arrest w/ purchase of Star Wars UCS

I guess I should clarify. The UCS sets seem to be excluded from the LEGO % off coupons going forward and third party sites (Amazon, TRU, Walmart, Target) haven't been able to discount them so it would seem getting a free set with purchase is TRU's way of offering a better deal on these sets than any...

TRU free Palpatine's Arrest w/ purchase of Star Wars UCS set

Toys R Us online had a similar promotion last week for a free Y-wing with purchase of any Star Wars UCS set. The UCS X-wing 10240 is now back in stock at MSRP of $199 and comes with a free Palpatine's Arrest set 9526. This seems like a pretty good deal for a set priced at $75 on the TRU site right n...

Re: 100's Of Sellers are Selling There B-Wing And Losing Mon

This set came with the Hoth Han Solo variant and the Chima Battle pack. Not counting reward points, my cost for these was $80 each after I sold the extras. The investment was minimal and I could sell them now and still make money. I'm going to be patient and wait a while on this set though. It's cei...

Re: Steal of a Deal / Recent LEGO Purchases

I'm sure somebody returned it to the store and they marked it down immediately to move it since they don't stock those sets in Target retail stores. You got a great deal!

Re: Selling Platform

SpaceViking is correct. Paypal is now required to report misc. income to the IRS for any individual who has 200+ transactions and $20K in receipts for the year. If you fall under that you are still technically required to report any income to the IRS, but I think a lot of people do not and the IRS d...
